News,
> "Radio Amateur Callbook is throwing in the towel and will cease
publication
> of its CD-ROM Callbook product effective with its winter 2003 edition,
which
> will come out in November." Publisher Bob Hughes states that this is due
> to accessibility to the FCC database via the Internet, and sales have
> declined to levels that make it unprofitable to publish future editions.
>
> C9, MOZAMBIQUE. Babs/DL7AFS and Lot/DJ7ZG will once again be active from
> here (they were recently active as C98DC Oct. 2001 from Inhaca Island).

> 2 week activity around September 22nd. They do expect to operate from an
> island at Northern Mozambique. In Maputo, they will meet with Rei, C98RF

> activity and use his C98RF callsign. Babs and Lot will try to operate
> RTTY/PSK mostly on 18101 kHz. Look for them on the usual DX frequencies.
> QSL C98RF (CW,6m) to DL6DQW. QSL C98DC (SSB/RTTY/PSK) to DL7AFS. More

> Good-to-Excellent due to the Moon transiting from a New Moon on the 8th
> August to the first quarter on the 15th August, of course weather
> permitting. This shower is created by the Earth passing through the debris
> field left from the Swift-Tuttle comet. These grain-like particles enter
> Earth's atmosphere, then burn up and create what most people call shooting
> stars! The Perseid Meteor shower is NOT expected to be as spectacular as
> the Leonid Meteor shower that occurs each November. But, if viewing is
> good, people will not be disappointed. For more info on meteor
propagation,
> VHFers consult your ARRL handbook." More information can be sought at

> Hans-Juergen, DL1YFF, informs OPDX that there was a change in the
> German postage. As you might know, in the European Community (most
> West European countries) the currencies have changed to the EURO. This
> has also changed the national stamps, which has also changed to
> the EURO. Particularly in Gemany, the national post office withdraws
> the old stamps with DM (Deutschmark) on them from the market and has
> replaced them all with the new EURO. Furthermore, they (German Postal
> System) have declared the old ones not to be used anymore on letters
> as of July 1st, which means they are void on letters. As you know,
> many hams use SASE letters for their direct QSL service, particularly
> for DXpeditions and many still use the old stamps because they do not
> know about the changes. Their old stamps are not absolutely void
> because they can be changed into new ones at the postal offices in
> Germany, however, this will come to an end in September.

> A log search, as well as QSL information and update to date activity

> on August 1, 2002. He was one of the founding members of the W9DXCC group
> circa. 1950. Bob was also one of the founders of the QCWA (charter
member).

> other participants. The event takes place each year the last Saturday in
> February. Next event will be February 23rd, 2003, from 1800z Saturday
> until 0600z Sunday. Suggested frequencies are (on or up): 3530, 7030,
> 14030, 21030 and 28030 kHz. QSOs on the WARC bands are allowed but no
> recommended frequencies. Again, the mode is: A1A - CW, straight key only

> VK0, MACQUARIE ISLAND. Paul, A35RK, has informed OPDX that stateside
> stations might want to look for VK0MQI during the Anza Net (14183 kHz
> +/-). Paul states, "He has checked into the Anza Net on the last 2 Sundays
> (Zulu time....that's late Saturday night in North America) at shortly
> after 0500z. I don't know if this will be a 'regular' appearance, but
> it might be worth a listen if someone needs VK0/M."

> XY, MYANMAR. The current group active there has been very easy to work.
> If you have not worked them yet, do not worry. They will be there until
> August 22nd. By the time you read this, they should have four stations
> active from Ngapali. The team seems to be using several different
callsigns,
> so pay attention to what the operator says.
