> by the continuous big pile-ups! For 40 and 80 meters, he is using an
> Inverted Vee. He has no antenna for 160 meters and does not intend to
> be active on that band. Due to an upcoming election in Equatorial Guinea,
> he might have to change his itinerary and leave Malabo a week earlier
> than expected (possibly December 8th, but that is not definite yet).

> However, the operator does not prefer to QSL any bureau cards.
Therefore,
> we have been asked NOT to forward these cards to the QSL Manager." In
> the past years, they would stamp incoming QSLs stating that the manager
> will only answer these cards if sent directly to the manager. They
> would then been returned to the sender to be forwarded direct. Leo
> now states, "Due to the large quantity of incoming QSL cards they will
> NOT be returned to sender but destroyed! Please pass this information
> on to the many DXers needing 9K2 confirmed so they do not waste sending
> cards via the bureau." QSL Manager W8CNL's address is: Ray McClure,
