> FEW NOTES FROM EDITOR, TEDD, KB8NW: I can not guararantee that there will
> be a bulletin over the next two weeks due to a very hectic schedule. IF
> (and I do stress the word "IF") there is a bulletin for May 13th it will
> probably be some genreal announcements (but small in size). This is due
> to a few family events (I will be traveling to Toledo to see my son
graduate
> from the University of Toledo early Saturday. Also, my dad and sister will
> be in town for a special family gathering/celebration. It is also Mother's
> Day.) Because I will be attending the Dayton HamVention, there will not
> be a bulletin for May 20th (unless there is a major announcement). Please,
> continue to send your information (you never know!).

> 3V, TUNISIA. Terry/F5MSE and Steve/F5NZY (FOC) will be active from Djerba
> as 3V8SM, May 8-15th. Activity will be on all HF bands on CW and SSB. QSL
> via F5MSE.
>
> 6Y, JAMAICA. OPDX was informed that "Team Vertical" is heading back to
> Jamaica for the WPX CW Contest. The team will arrive in Jamaica May 18th,
> and depart May 28th. They will be active on all bands, 160-6 meters. The
> callsign 6Y2A will be used during the contest on May 25-26th. The group
> will enter the Multi/Multi category, and will run six stations, each
> running a KW during the contest. Outside the contest, the team will
operate
> as "homecall/6Y5". The list of operators are: N6BT, KE7X, WA6O, N6XG,
> W0YK, N6XI, and K2KW. Four of the transceivers will be Elecraft K2/100
> rigs. As always, they will be using Force 12 vertical antennas on all
> bands from 160-6 meters. On 6 meters, they will be very active running a
> KW and will be transmitting on 50.102 MHz, QSX outside the DX window as
> directed. QSL 6Y2A and K2KW via WA4WTG. QSL others as directed.
>
> 7O, YEMEN. Pekka, OH2YY, has informed OPDX that he will be on a business
> trip in Sanaa, Yemen, from the evening of May 7th until late night on
> May 11th. He has applied for permission to operate amateur radio during
his
> visit, and he has received a written confirmation dated on April 23rd, to
> import his radio equipment and to operate them during his visit. So far,
> Pekka has not been assigned a 7O-callsign, and unless otherwise agreed
> after his arrival, he will be using the callsign 7O/OH2YY. Pekka will
> carry a FT840 transceiver and a FinnFet 1001 amplifier. He will also have
> a Cuscraft R5 vertical with him, and once in Sanaa, he will try to
organize
> (setup) either a dipole or a long wire for 40 and 80 meters. Pekka has
> suggested the following frequencies: 3790, 7045, 14195, 18135, 21295,
> 24950, 28495 kHz. If the propagation allows, he will try to maximize the
> number of QSOs by staying on the higher frequencies. He will operate SSB
> only. His QTH in Sanaa will be a bit outside of the city in a residential
> district. It's a higher altitude location having a very nice and clear
> view to the north over the valley of the city of Sanaa. The QTH should
> be good for QSOs to North America, Caribbean, Europe and most of Asia,
> including Japan. On Tuesday, May 7th, Pekka will arrive in Sanaa so late
> that most likely he will have to wait until the next morning to get the
> antennas installed. He will have business meetings on Wednesday and
> Saturday, and Pekka is not aware of his detailed schedule yet. On Thursday
> and Friday he should be able to operate most of the day. Anyway, he will
> use all the available time for DXing. The QSL address is his home address:
> Pekka Ahlqvist, Vapaalanpolku 8B, 01650, Vantaa, Finland.
>
> 7O, YEMEN. A couple of sources are reporting that Chris Lorek, G4HCL,
> was recently in Sanaa, Yemen, and while there he made a handful of
> contacts as 7O/G4HCL "under the direct supervision of the Yemeni
> Communications Ministry". Chris is currently back in the UK, but will
> be back in Yemen on Saturday, May 11th, for a three week stay. He is
> expected to be operating on the amateur bands by himself from Sanaa
> and possibly other locations in the country. However, his operating
> time will be limited to his spare time due to his work schedule. This
> is not a DXpedition. He will be using a FT-990 with 100 watts into
> a vertical or dipole antennas. QSL information to be announced.
>
> ARMED FORCES DAY. Amateurs are urged to take part in the upcoming 52nd
> Armed Forces Day event, May 11-12th. There will be an exchange of contacts
> with the Army, Air Force, Navy-Marine Corps and Coast Guard radio
stations.
> This year's traditional Armed Forces Day actually falls on May 18th, but
> the traditional cross-band communications test was rescheduled to avoid
> a conflict with the Dayton Hamvention. Cross-band activity is expected
> to be on amateur frequencies in the 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter bands with
> transmissions on selected MARS frequencies. For more details, please check
> the Army MARS Web site at: http://www.asc.army.mil/MARS/afd/mars_afd.htm
>
> CY9, ST. PAUL ISLAND. Operators Duane/WV2B, William/VE1AAO, James/VE9DH,
> Ed/W0SD, Arliss/W7XU, Holly/N0QJM and Edith/W0OE are expected to be on the
> air from here late June 29th through July 8th. The operation will feature
> two full time stations and an attempt is being made to add a third, part
> time HF station to be used during peak propagation times, especially to
the
> Pacific area where CY9 is needed by many. The group plans on operating on
> the west side of the island to have a clear shot to Asia, South America,
> North America and most of Europe. The landing is much more difficult on
> this side because of the prevailing winds which always seem to blow on St.
> Paul with high seas; therefore, the start up date is subject to landing
> conditions. As far as it is known, no previous operations have been from
> this side of the island. This operation will feature a full time,
dedicated
> six meter station operated by W7XU, N0QJM, W0SD and W0OE. The six meter
> station WILL ONLY transmit on 50.157 MHz listening up when there is
> propagation. A beam and ACOM 1000 amplifier will be used with operation
> on SSB and CW. Liaison will be available on 28.886 MHz and E-mail updates
> via WINLINK 2000 will be provided to the appropriate Six Meter Internet
> sites. The Grid Square will be FN97. A special effort will be made to work
> Europe on double hop sporadic E in addition to North America and Caribbean
> areas! A second station will be set up for HF. The operation plans to use
> a 5 band Hex beam for 20-10 meters and a vertical on 30 and 40 meters.
Given
> the time of the year, no operation is planned for 80 and 160 meters. An
> ACOM 1000 amplifier will be used. There will be activity on RTTY, SSB and
> CW. Operators will be WV2B, VE1AAO, VE9DH, W0SD, W7XU, N0QJM and W0OE.
> Planned frequencies are as follows:
> RTTY - 7080, 10115, 14080, 18080, 21080, 24908 and 28080 kHz
> CW - 7005, 10105, 14020, 18100, 21020, 24900 and 28020 khz
> SSB - 14195, 18145, 21295, 24945 and 28495 (alternate 14145) kHz
> All QSLs via W7XU.
>
> DAYTON EVENT. The Northern Ohio DX Association (along with WVNO Radio)
will
> once again sponsor a Hospitality Suite at this year's Dayton Hamvention.
It
> will be in Suite 1011 on the 10th Club Floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel
> (old Stouffers) on Friday and Saturday evenings. All DXers/Contesters are
> welcome. Munchies and refreshments will be avaialble. Come and meet the
> members and friends of NODXA.

> Harry, W6DXO, received the following E-mail from Bill Moore, NC1L,
> DXCC Manager, about HC2DX via PY3ZM. Here is Bill's response: "We have
> received information from HC2DX, in writing, which states that PY3ZM
> is his QSL Manager. Based on this information, DXCC is currently
> accepting cards from HC2DX direct or via Michel Hamoniaux, PY3ZM. HC2DX

> get in a car for about 3 month or so. She is confined to bed. Nellie will
> not be going to Dayton or Hamcom in Dallas. Lenny doesn't know if she will
> be able to go to the YL meeting in Palermo, Italy. At this time she will
> not be on the air as she has to find out if she can operate with a
pacemaker
> in her. Besides, Lenny doesn't think she can get to the radio. Lenny will
> be keeping in touch with Nellie and will send us further updates on her

> Subject: Update of K7K and 3B9R QSL information.
> Date: Sun, 5 May 2002 00:48:44 -1000
> MIME-Version: 1.0

> To All Amateurs:
>
> The Midway-Kure DX Foundation and the member operators of the
> DXpeditions, 3B9R Rodrigues - 1999, and K7K Kure Atoll, K4M Midway
> Atoll - 1997, would like to update QSLing information so that those
> who have had trouble getting cards or have not yet asked for a card
> may get them for valid contacts. We believe that almost all people
> have already gotten their cards in a timely fashion.
>
> Please be aware that K7K and K4M are temporary callsigns that have
> been reissued for use by others in the United States for their
> short-term operations. We are receiving QSL's for operations that were
> done later and elsewhere, not Kure and Midway. Also, we receive
> repeated requests, sometimes in a demanding way, for cards to confirm
> contacts that are not in the log. Even after repeated replies along
> with multiple QSL's sent (for valid contacts) informing them of that
> fact. We will not QSL for invalid contacts.
>
> There are a few of requests asking for cards by people who had
> callsign changes and don't know which callsign they used to make
> contacts with the DXpedition, not to mention specific contact
> information! These may or may not be answered depending on the
> available time necessary to perform time consuming manual searches.
>
> We are also aware (with Post Office confirmation) that a good number
> of incoming cards were likely misrouted or discarded due to incorrect
> address information (almost correct but not good enough) that had been
> distributed (not by us) in some circles. We are disappointed with this
> unfortunate occurrence and trust those affected will understand and
> send another request (if they've not done so already).
>
> QSL requests are being handled by different people depending on the
> callsign / DXpedition. Please read the specific directions below for
> the respective DXpedition.
>
> We are sorry for any problems that some of you experienced in getting
> cards for these operations. We are committed to getting every person a
> card for any valid contact upon reasonable request. If you feel that
> you have already sent in too many direct requests you may send an
> email request with all QSO information to Kimo Chun, KH7U, at
> [email protected], for special follow up. Please do not abuse this offer.
>
> Thank you for your kind support for these operations. We do appreciate
> the contacts and hope we can provide more contacts (and cards!) in the
> future. If you have any questions please send them to Kimo Chun,
> [email protected].
>
> Sincerely,
>
> Midway-Kure DX Foundation and all the member operators.

> We have been informed that there has been a problem for some in
> getting cards for this operation. We acknowledge that there were some
> early problems for 3B9R that were mostly solved by changing to K7ZD as
> the QSL manager. We do not believe there are any valid requests for
> cards that have not been or if very recent will not be answered if we
> have actually received your card. The QSL manager, K7ZD, is still
> processing any requests that are received. Do NOT send any cards to
> N7LVD. We are sorry if some cards may have been lost or not handled
> properly in the past.
>
> If you feel you have been somehow overlooked please send K7ZD your
> card one more time with an SASE ($0.37 U.S. postage) for U.S.
> destinations or a Self Addressed Envelope with a requested $1 U.S. or
> a "New IRC" purchased / dated after 6 Jan 01. We would appreciate this
> to help pay for the costs of QSLing. The U.S. Post Office has changed
> their rules regarding the use of IRC's, especially older ones. Those
> older than 7 Jan 01 are not redeemable for sufficient postage for "Air
> Mail" delivery to most foreign destinations.

> Send QSL's to K7ZD: Mr. Gerald "Gary" McClellan, 3422 E. Altadena
