> 3905 CENTURY CLUB NETS. Kevin Burkhart, WM0F, PR Director for the "3905
> Century Club", wants to inform OPDX readers that the 3905 Century Club
> has been around running "Worked All States and DX" type contact nets for
> 25+ years. Nets are held daily on 40m, 80m, and 160m SSB, along with a
> bunch of weekly CW, PSK, and RTTY nets. The complete net schedule and
> other info can be found at the club Website at:  http://www.3905ccn.com
>    The Century Club just recently started a DX bureau operation for all
> contacts made on Century Club nets. This DX bureau is free and open to
> all amatuers stateside and DX who had contacts made on the CC nets. The
> CC DX bureau will be especially convenient for DX stations who may E-mail
> logs to the bureau manager. Their bureau manager will handle all the QSL
> duties and will forward all cards to the DX station, free of charge.
> The Century Club DX bureau manager is Ron, N9KNJ.  His address is good
> in all callbooks and QRZ.com. More information on CC bureau operations
> can also be found at the Website.
>    The 3905 Century Club has operated bureaus for contacts made on the
> CC nets for many years.  The turnaround in CC bureaus is a matter of
> weeks, so there will not be the long delays typical of international QSL
> bureaus. DX stations interested in earning the ARRL WAS or other
> Century Club awards will find this service really useful for getting
> timely service for their QSL cards.

> 3B8, MAURITIUS. A German team plans to head south to get away from the
> cool weather and be active as 3B8/DK7AO from February 9-15th. The team
> consists of: Frank/DK7AO and his XYL Katrin/DL1AXL, Guenter/DL2AWG
> and Peter/DL3APO (and his XYL). Activity will be on 160-10 meter, but
> they will focus on the low bands, the WARC bands and some RTTY. They will
> have 2 HF stations. QSL via DL3APO. For more details and the log, visit
> the Web page at:             http://www.radioklub.de/3b8

> DXCC NEWS. From the ARRL Web Page: "DXCC processing resumes after faulty
> server replaced (January 7, 2003) -- After a two-week hiatus, DXCC
> application processing resumed January 3rd. DXCC processing ground to a
> halt December 23rd after a computer server that supported the DXCC
software
> failed. ARRL Membership Services Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG, said he's
> glad to report that the DXCC system once again seems stable, and DXCC
> applications from late September are being entered into the system this
> week. The Information Services Department (ISD) determined that the old
> DXCC server had reached the end of its useful life. After replacing a
> power supply and attempting to resuscitate the aging hardware, ISD shifted
> the application to another available server. Mills said system downtime
> actually was less than two weeks. 'With Christmas, New Year's Day and
> associated vacations, we probably didn't lose a full two weeks, but on the
> calendar, we lost two weeks,' he allowed. The even better news is that the
> current DXCC system is slated for an upgrade that will interface with both
> Logbook of the World--now undergoing beta testing--and the ARRL Web site.
> Mills says this will allow field checkers to take further advantage of
> electronic data input and speed processing time by as much as 75 percent."

> HH4, HAITI. Jan Heise, K4QD, the HH4 March 2003 DXpedition Team Leader,

>     Vladimir states that the QSLs have been printed, but to his surprise,

>     UPDATE ON "DON'T BE SURPRISED" (VK1AA'S QSL PRACTICES). Nick, VK1AA,
>     has contacted OPDX, and he wants to clarify his QSL practice which
>     was mentioned in OPDX.593. Nick states, "QSL cards received with
>     insufficient postage or multiple requests for different callsigns will
>     be forwarded in the manner most suitable for both sender and manager.
>     Please note: I'm talking here about requests with INSUFFICIENT POSTAGE
>     enclosed. Unfortunately one USD or 1 IRC is not enough to cover my QSL
>     expenses. For all other requests it's business as usually."

>     NOT THE MANAGER. Please note that DJ7DZ is not the QSL Manager for
>     Yuri, UA9SP.

occasional

addition

> French Polynesia via boat for Pitcairn and then Ducie. The organizer,
> JA1BK, indicates that several more operators will be welcome, particularly
> one who is CW competent. Some phone and RTTY experience will be helpful.
> Interested and experienced operators can contact me at
>                       wa2moe@firstinter.net
> with a brief outline of experience. Dates and other details will then
