was
> supposedly at the airport in Rome, presumably heading back
to
> Belgrade." At the same time Mome, Z32ZM says he talked with
Hrane in
> Pyongyang. According to Mome, "they have in hand all
needed
> documentation & permition's EXCEPT the permition for transmit
by
> Amateur Radio", which they hopefully will receive on Monday
(11

> ELECTRONIC QSL POLICY ---> The following is an abstract from an ARRL
News
> Release dated 7 March: " Recent discussion regarding the QSL service
offered
> by eQSL.cc (TM) suggests that there is some confusion about ARRL QSL
policy.
> Simply put, there has been no change in League policy regarding eQSLs.
ARRL
> does not accept QSLs that have been transmitted to the recipient
via
> electronic means for its awards. Anyone, acting as an authorized QSL
manager,
> however, may receive logs via email (or any other direct means) and send
QSL
> cards, via post mail, to recipients. This is the traditional QSL
manager
> process. As has always been the case, certain norms are expected
when
> handling cards in this manner. First, we expect that a QSL manager will
seek
> permission from operators for whom QSLs are handled. Second, we expect
that a
> QSL manager will do the checking required to assure that only real
contacts
> are verified. Also, we expect to be able to identify cards as
authentic
> (cards should be personalized or otherwise made unique through the use of
a
> stamp or other personal mark - signature or initials - across a
label
> boundary). Finally, we consider it an ethics violation if cards can only
be
> claimed through payment of a fee, and thus we will not accept cards for
DXCC
> credit for which a fixed charge is made." For further information
please
> contact Wayne Mills, N7NG ([email protected]) or
visit

> PW0T ---> The team had already started to tear down the stations and
antennas
> preparing for departure on 2 March when they were informed that they
would
> stay on the island until Monday (4 March) at noon. They were able
to
> participate in the ARRL SSB Contest on all bands as a Multi-Single
entry,
> while another station operated CW on 20, 15 and 10 metres during the
weekend.
> [TNX N4AA]
>
> QSL 9J2BO ---> W6ORD is no longer the QSL manager for Brian, 9J2BO.
Cards
> should now be sent to Mike Mills, G3TEV either direct or through the
RSGB
> bureau.
>
> QSL CQ1CV ---> Paulo, CT1ETE says that the QSL cards for CQ1CV are not
yet
> ready, please be patient.
>
> QSL K3J ---> Ron Phillips, AH6HN, QSL manager for the September 2001
K3J
> operaton from Johnston Atoll, says the cards are still at the printer's
in
> Germany. [TNX WU8Q]
>
> QSL RW1AI/ANT ---> Mike, RW1AI will be active from "Vostok" base
(AN-016,
> WABA UA-010), Antarctica for the next 11 months. Cards should be sent
via
> home call either direct (Mikhail Fokin, P.O. Box 2, St.Petersburg,
195009
> Russia) or through the bureau, but he will not be able to process any
request
> until he goes back home in February 2003. Logs for RW1AI/ANT and
Mike's
> previous activities as R1AND (May-December 1999) and R1ANP
(January-March
> 2000) are available at http://www.qsl.net/ua1ake/logs [TNX UA1AKE]
>
> QSL XE2P ---> Ron, AC7DX is no longer the USA manager for XE2P, as he
has
> "tried repeatedly and been unable to secure the logs".
>
> QSL MANAGER OFFERED ---> Peter Occhipinti, KT4XP has recently become
disabled
> and offers his services as QSL manager for a DX station. Please contact
him
> at [email protected].
>
> QSL VIA VE7DP ---> Frank, VE7DP reports that almost all QSL cards for
his
> February 2001 IOTA operations ( VE7DP/DU1, 4I1P and 4H2B) have been sent
out.
> The backlog of direct requests was completed 6 months ago, while cards
for
> all others are going out via bureau, as a QSL is being sent to every
station
> in the log.
>
> QSL VIA ZK1CG ---> Victor, ZK1CG reports that two boxes of QSL cards
for
> ZK1CG (North Cooks) and ZK1USA (North and South Cooks) were mailed on
4
> March. If you do not receive your card(s) feel free to e-mail
Victor
> ([email protected]). Please note that the cards (handled by VE7XF)
for
> the group that went to Manihiki Atoll for the CQWW SSB Contest have not
been
> received from the printers so far.
>
> TAIWAN PREFIXES ---> It seems that the CTARL QSL bureau is getting cards
for
> Chinese stations. Tony Kuo, BX2AC (ex BV2TA) reminds DXers that BM, BN,
BO,
> BP, BQ, BU, BV, BW and BX belong to Taiwan, while BA-BL, BR-BT, BY and
BZ
> belong to China.
>
> TI9M ---> The Cocos Island TI9M DXpedition went QRT on 2 March at 12.00
UTC
> and left the island four hours later. The finally tally was
approximately
> 80,000 QSOs (including 2000+ contacts made in 12 hours during the ARRL SSB
DX
> Contest) after ten days of non stop operation. One site was at sea level,
and
> a second station was installed 500 feet higher (a great location,
which
> however required over 100 trips to haul equipment up and back).
