> AP, PAKISTAN. Boris, T93Y, informs OPDX that Willy, 9A4NA/T98N, has been
> in Peshawar, Pakistan, since early May and will stay there for at least
> two more months. He will occasionally operate from Asad's, AP2AUM, station
> which is equipped with a KENWOOD TS-50S and A4S with 40m addition kit.
> He suggests to look for him during his local evening (after 1200z), and
> since he does not have a keyer, activity will only be SSB. This is not
> a DXpedition and Willy, 9A4NA/T98N, will only operate on the bands after
> completing his duties at the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner
> for Refugees) Telecoms. Over the past week, AP2AUM has been spotted on
> 21250 kHz between 1130 and 1430z. QSL Manager for AP2AUM is KK5DO. A
> "LOG Search" for QSOs made by Willy can be be found on the Web page at:
> http://www.t93y.com/logsearch
> This will be regularly updated. At the present there are 145 QSOs made
> as of May 31, 2002.
>
> BQ9, PRATAS ISLAND. BQ9P is now active. The team has had problems keeping
> their antennas up due to the weather situation (passing cyclone) on Pratas
> Island. Activity has been on various bands CW/SSB/RTTY and will last until
> June 12th. There is NO WEB PAGE and NO ON-LINE LOGS for this operation.
> QSL via KU9C.
>
> CONTEST. Hide, JH8KYU, wants to remind everyone that the upcoming All
Asian
> DX Contest will be held next week. This contest will be a great oppotunity
> for you to get many rare Asian entities. The contest period will be from
> 0000z, June 15th through 2400z, June 16th. When you contact any Asian
> station, please send RST + your age. If you are a YL station, you can
> send 00 instead of your real age. The detailed rule can be found on the
> following JARL official page;

> Hex beam. Quarter wave verticals with 24 radials each will be used on 30

> OPDX was informed that Boyan, LZ1BJ, is stating that mail theft in
> Bulgaria is very bad. He currently recommends that there is no sense
> to send direct QSLs to LZ, because of the situation in the Bulgarian
> Postal system. If you send direct, avoid using green stamps, use IRC
> only and pack letters very secure, using scotch tape. Boyan has
received
> over the past 2 years about 200 opened letters. He has sent several
> complaints to Bulgarian Postal Authorities.

> YL DXPEDITIONS (Change in plans!). Gwen, VK3DYL, informs OPDX that there
> has been a change in plans for their DXpeditions. Due to circumstances
> completely beyond their control, the YL mini-DXers will not be able to
> visit Nauru next October as planned. To avoid disappointment to a number
> of amateurs who need C21 on 10 and 12 meters, Peter, C21TA, will try to
> activate those bands during his business trips to the island over the
> next few months. The YLs, however, will still operate from Lord Howe
> Island as VK9YL, September 15-29th as previously announced.
> YLs Elizabeth/VE7YL (CW), June /VK4SJ, Mio/JR3MVF and Gwen/VK3DYL
> will operate from the Cook Islands -- Aitutaki Island (OC-083) October
> 1-6th, and from Rarotonga (OC-013) October 7-15th. Their callsign is to
> be announced later. QSL to VK3DYL direct (Gwen Tilson, 3 Gould Crt.,
> Mt. Waverley 3149, Australia) with sufficient return postage. Green
> stamps would be appreciated since this is a self-funded DXpedition,
> though cards via the VK3 Bureau will also be answered. Direct cards
> without sufficient postage will be returned via the Bureau.
>
> ZC40/ZC41, U.K. SOVEREIGN BASE AREAS ON CYPRUS. During the month of June,

> as ZA/Z35M since June 1st. He expects to be here for several years on
> business. He states that he will be active only on HF on CW and SSB. His
> band plan from ZA-land is limited (on low bands 3750-3800 kHz and
7040-7100
> kHz), so do not be surprised if you find him on CW or SSB on parts of
> these bands. He was spotted this past weekend on 20 meters CW around
> 0600z and again at 2000z. QSL PLEASE ONLY DIRECT to his home address in
