Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Please note that K4SXT is not the
QSL manager for
A92GE.
PIRATE ---> W2FB is not the QSL manager for EL2FB:
"This is what the
operator
was signing", The Daily DX reports, "so the November
operations of
EL2FB must
have been that of a pirate".
QSL ARRL 10M CONTEST ---> Ferdi, XQ5SM reports that
the following
special
calls were used during the latest ARRL 10 Meter
Contest (14-15
December):
CE3N (ops. CE3NR and CE4PBB), QSL via CE3NR
CB4Y (ops. CE4FXY and CE4USW), QSL via CE4FXY
3G5A (op. XQ5SM), QSL via XQ5SM.
QSL HZ1HZ ---> Due to a regrettable oversight, Leo
Fry, K8PYD has been
listed
as the QSL manager for HZ1HZ (425DXN #608). Please
note that the
correct QSL
route is (and has been since 1984) via Dick Moen,
N7RO (while Leo
still
manages HZ1AB only). We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have
caused
our readers.
QSL UK8FC ---> Vasil, RW6HS report that DK6CW "is not
and has never
been" the
QSL manager for Gena, UK8FC. QSL cards are still to
sent to RW6HS
himself.
QSL VE2/ & VY0/W2NTJ ---> In 2002 Jack, W2NTJ only
operated as VE2/
from his
cabin a few miles north of Chibougamau, and as VY0/
from North Twin
Island in
Hudson Bay. All DX cluster spots indicating NA-159
were wrong.
Jack is
expected to mail his logs to VE3LYC over the next few
days. [TNX
VE3LYC]
QSL VIA N9NU ---> Tim is the QSL manager for KH6X,
9K2AI and,
effective 1
February 2003, YB0GJS. Online logs
are available
at
http://www.n9nu.net/logsearch/logsearch.html. QSL
either direct
(Tim
Dickerson, 900 Vincent Drive, Sandwich, IL 60548, USA)
or through the
bureau.
[TNX N9NU]
WABA DIRECTORY ---> The Diamond DX Club reports that
the new WABA
(Worked
Antarctic Bases Award) Directory 2003 is now
available for free
downloading
as .pdf document [425DXN 598] on the club's web site
(http://www.ddxc.net).
The WABA Directory 2003 includes a 12-page revised
Antarctic bases
listing
(with corrections, integrations and a new column for
IOTA reference
numbers)
as well as a new section (6 pages) for historical
notes. [TNX
Diamond DX
Club]
ZK3 ---> Someone recently circulated the information
that Mario, IZ8DBJ
would
operate as ZK3DJ from a Tokelau new IOTA on 1-8
February. This is not
true
and Mario cannot explain where the news originated
from. He and other
Italian
operators are actually planning an activity from an
IOTA new one,
which
obviously cannot be Tokelau (OC-048); further
information will be given
only
if and when their plans are firm. [TNX IZ8DBJ]
