> on February 28th. They usually close the island down every

> CALL BUREAU as there is no longer a KG4 Bureau.
>
> KH4, MIDWAY ISLAND (Another Cancelled Op). Rudi/DL7VFR and Tom/DL2RUM
> have announced that their planned trip to Midway in March is now cancelled
> once again. This is due to the reason mentioned in last week's bulletin
> that all scheduled flights to and from the island have been cancelled.
This
> means that the island is "out of range" for low budget operation and
> individuals need to charter their own ship/aircraft now. DL2RUM will try
> to go to ZK2 during that time, DL7VFR might stay on KH6.
>
> MM0, SCOTLAND. Leo, W3LEO, will once again be active from Portpatrick in
> southwest Scotland from about February 25th through March 28th. His
callsign
> will be MM0LEO, and he plans to be in the ARRL International DX SSB
Contest.

> YA, AFGHANISTAN (YA5T Update). Robert, S53R, reports: "YA5T is back on
> the air since 30th of January, running only 100W and R7 vertical. 80 and
> 160 will be very difficult due to space restrictions, but we will try to
> do something. We also face problems on 30m band, with extremely nasty
> local noise. Due to heavy workload only evenings (after 1300 or 1400 zulu)
> are suitable for us. Now that we are 2 here (S53R and ON4WW) we may find
> some more time even during the night times. Pile-ups are huge. So far some
> 4000 CW-only QSOs were made. Mostly EU, some JA and just a few hundred US.
> E U R O P E !!! Please give a chance to US guys. When we say US only,
> please do not break in. Path from US to YA is extremely difficult,
openings
> short and signals marginal. All EU guys stand a very good chance of
working
> us, but for Ws, things are much different, and the more we go into spring
> the harder it will be for them. Once again-show a great deal of ham-spirit
> and let them work us too! There were quite a few slims heard during the
> past week. To make sure you can check if you are in the log, we will try
> and make arrangements to put the logs on the web. Be patient."

> DXpedition to Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago, and he will be
active
> as ZY0SAT from February 23rd through March 10th (dates may change). As
> of now, he confirms that he will only operate on SSB on the HF bands
> (40/20/15/10m) with an ATLAS 210X (split mode listening 5 kHz up) using
> only 10-50 watts into a dipole antenna. His activity will be limited to
> his spare time because he is on a geological survey of the islets. He will
> be going with 2 geology students to help in researches. His intent was
> to operate on the satellite and digital modes (packet, RTTY, SSTV and
> PSK31) but his equipment needs some repair (a notebook without floppy and
> hard disk drive). Joaquim is looking for anyone who has a FDD, HDD and
> a modem to donate to him on this DXpedition (and future op). QSL to PS7JN:
> Joaquim das Virgens, Rua Carlos Serrano, 1969, CEP 59076-740 Natal-RN,

> Western, G3SXW and Olli Rissanen, OH0XX/OA4DMR. These two
> gentlemen are responsible for the on-site Referee management
> function.
>
> We received more than 100 highly-qualified applications.
> Therefore the sub-committee had no choice but to establish
> the optimum Referee profile and hold a democratic vote amongst
> the WRTC2002 event management. This resulted in the following
> list of fine contesters who are now selected as official
> Referees for WRTC2002:
>
> 4Z4KX, AH3C, DL6LAU, F6BEE, G0MTN, G4BUO, HA6ND, I4UFH,
> K1VR, K3NA, K6AW, K6KR, K7BV, K8NZ, K9JF, K9ZO, KC1F, KM3T,

> We have appointed 16 OH referees. Here the underlying
> reason is that several host families may have difficulty
> communicating with the competitors in English, which is a
> third language in Finland.
>
> In case of any cancellations the WRTC2002 committee will
> maintain a list of reserve Referees and will call upon them
> to fill any vacancies. If you applied to be a Referee but
> were not selected then we hope very much that you will
> still be able to join us in Finland.
> Plese check www.wrtc2002.org for available accommodation and other info.
