10 YEARS OF 9A ---> 2002 marks the 10th anniversary
of allocation of
the 9A
prefix to Croatia and the Croatian Amateur Radio
Association
sponsors a
special award (http://www.hamradio.hr/award.asp) for
contacts made
with 9A
stations between 5 July and 31 December. The first 97
awards have been
mailed
and the deadline for applications, to be
sent to Denis,
9A3Z
([email protected]), is 31 March 2003. The 9A CW
Contest, which is held
this
weekend, is a good opportunity to work the award. [TNX
9A3Z]
40 METRES ---> John, NT5C, one of the more
successful 40m SSB US
DXers,
reminds non-US stations where to transmit on 40
meters in order to be
heard
in the USA: "below 7100, most integral multiples of
5KHz (7050, 7055,
7065,
7085, etc) are 'owned' by nets and ragchewers in
Central and South
America
and Canada. The odds are much better for the DX if
they get between
those
integral 5KHz multiples. Good frequencies to try are
7047, 7052 and
7057,
which are above most of the CW, but below the RTTY."
KH6GMP/KH3 ---> Gary, KH6GMP ended up his activity
from Johnston Atoll
with
just a little less than 3000 QSOs. He lost his main
antenna on 13
December
and had to go with a very low wire multiband that had
been installed
probably
many years ago and only 2 or 3 feet above the steel
reinforced concrete
roof
of the building. By the way, The Daily DX reports
that "the building
which
houses the radio station will be demolished in
January and no
station nor
antennas will remain". [TNX YO3/DL4AAZ]
PIRATE ---> QRZ-DX reports that someone pirated
9S1X on 80 metres
on 13
December. Patrick, 9Q1A and his wife Nicole, 9Q1YL
are moving from
Kinshasa
to Matadi [425DXN 603] and expect to resume activity
on the amateur
radio
bands in early January.
QSL HL1VAU ---> Han, HL1VAU is working on the QSL
cards received
for his
HL1VAU/4 (AS-093, April 2002) and HL1VAU/3 (AS-080,
July 2002)
operations and
hopes to process them all within the end of the
year. Bureau cards
will
follow. He apologizes for the delay, due to
circumstances beyond his
control.
QSL VY0/W2NTJ ---> As the QSL manager for VY0/W2NTJ's
operations in
2000 and
2001, Cezar, VE3LYC has received a lot of inquiries
regarding his
operations
in 2002. Jack did not contact VE3LYC before his
departure to VY0, and
as of
19 December Cezar had received neither information
nor logs regarding
these
activities. "I suggest for now that you restrain
yourselves from
sending
direct QSL requests for contacts with him made this
year", Cezar says.
[TNX
N1HRW]
QSL VIA DJ0LZ ---> Those who still need a QSL for
YU1KW, YU1CV or
YU8DX can
send theirs to DJ0LZ, who also handles cards for Z32FD
and UT1QK. QSL
direct
only to Ace Jevremov, P.O. Box 14, D-82378
Peissenberg, Germany. [TNX
DJ0LZ]
QSL VIA LU8VCC ---> Effective 1 January 2003 the new
address for LU8VCC
(QSL
manager for LT5V) is: Alex Rocca, 217 Bis 1128,
8332 Roca, Rio
Negro,
Argentina. [TNX LU8VCC]
ZL1AMO ---> Judy, AA7UC reports that Ron's
conditions are
improving. His
tracheal tube has been removed and as a result he
looks better, feels
better
and can talk.
