> 2002 WRTC VIDEO RELEASED. Ari, OH5DX, informs OPDX that the official video
> of the Amateur Radio Olympics (WRTC 2002) is now available on DVD and VHS.
> Unlike previous ham radio videos, this one is produced from a 100%
> "pro-sports" perspective. Watching the extreme effort Finnish hams put
> into making WRTC 2002 as successful and professional as it was, it is only
> fitting that the official video reflect these achievements. In order to
> capture as much of the action as possible, three different camera crews
> were sent out to film as many teams and events as they could during the
> actual 24 hour competition. And supporting all this great footage are
> high-end 3D graphics, intra-competition scoreboards, top-ten boxes, team
> profiles, and lots of other things that you might expect when watching a
> professional sports event on television. The entire production is even
> narrated by one of ESPN's top announcers. Animation, graphics and sound
> were all posted at some of the best studios in the Asia-Pacific region,
> and the DVDs were mastered in the same facilities used by Paramount and
> Sony Entertainment. Total running time is 60 minutes. The DVD version
> also contains lots of extra features like full score breakdowns for each
> team, continental line-ups, competitor rulebook, and even all the past
> WRTC scores dating back to 1990. Copies are now shipping worldwide, and
> all information on how to obtain one can be found at the following web
> site: http://home1.pacific.net.sg/~jamesb/
>
> 3B8, MAURITIUS. Herman, ON4AME, is expected to be active as 3B8/ON4AME
> from Mauritius (grid square LG89) from March 9-22nd. Activity will be on
> CW/SSB and digimodes (SSTV-RTTY-PSK31-JT44... anything that is
soundblaster
> compatible) using a TS2000X fitted with 160m-23cm. The antennas will be
> verticals and beams. More details will be forthcoming.
>
> 5X, UGANDA. QSL Manager Bob, WB2YQH, informs OPDX that Graham, 5X1GS,
> has been semi-active this month due to work related travels away from
> Kampala to the north part of the country. He is now traveling to 5Z4
> (no operation there) and back to 5X for a day before departing for the
> UK on January 30th. He will return to Uganda February 15th. He is looking
> into a WARC beam for a better signal. Bob also mentions that the logs
> are up-to-date. QSL via WB2YQH.
>
> 6W, SENEGAL. Norbert/F6AXX and Anne Marie will be vacationing here now
> through February 7th, in the Saly Area. The callsign to be used will be
> 6W7/F6AXX. Look for Norbert every morning and evening mainly on CW around
> the following suggested frequencies: 14035, 18090, 21035, 24105 and 28035
> kHz (+/- QRM). QSL via F6AXX, either direct (SASE) or via the French REF
> Bureau. Some more information about Saly and amateur radio in Senegal can
> be found (in French) at: http://www.pleinsud.online.fr/ra.htm
>
> 6Y, JAMAICA. John, K3TEJ, plans to be active in the ARRL DX CW Contest
> (February 15-16th) as 6Y0T. During activity outside of the contest, he
> will operate as 6Y5/K3TEJ. He will be active from here between February
> 11-18th. Operations will be on 160-10 meters CW ONLY. QSL both callsigns
> via K3TEJ.
>
> 7Q, MALAWI. QSL Manager, Allan, G0IAS, informs OPDX that Les, 7Q7LA, has
> landed in Malawi, but a week late. He also states that by the time the
> OPDX readers read this, Harry/7Q7HB and Les/7Q7LA should be active and
> providing some "new ones" from the Lake shore (of Malawi) for plenty of
> people this time around. Allan states not to hesitate to ASK the guys if
> they can QSY to other modes or bands if you need them, but please not in
> the middle of a pile up..! QSL info is as usual via DIRECT only to G0IAS.
> NO BUREAU cards via RSGB (They will NEVER be answered.) Also, there is
> NO 7Q7 BUREAU.
>
> 8P, BARBADOS. Tom, W2SC, will be active as 8P5A in the ARRL International
> DX SSB Contest (March 1-2nd) as a Single-Op/High Power entry. QSL via
> NT1N.
>
> 9L, SIERRA LEONE (Top Band!). Zbig, SP7BTB, has returned from a holiday
> in Poland and is now back and active as 9L1BTB. He has been heard on 160
> meters lately, so watch between 1828-1831 kHz after 2130z. His activity
> depends mainly on whether there is power (electricity) in the town. He is
> using a dipole 13 meters above the ground, an IC-706 and a Emtron DX-1b.
> Also, look for him to be active on 6 meters with a 5 element Yagi.
>
> DXER'S MOST WANTED COUNTRIES (ENTITIES). Over the past week, DXers (new
> and old) got to see where their most wanted entities are listed/ranked
> thanks to "The DX Magazine's" release of the results of its "2002 Most
> Wanted Conuntries" survey. Also released this past week were the results
> of the "425 DX News 2003 Most Wanted Survey". This is actually interesting
> because DXers from the Americas can compare what the rest of world (Asia,
> Africa, Europe and the Pacific) needs. The top 10 mosted wanted are:

> IOTA NEWS.................
> AF-064. Dennis, ZS4BS, reports, "A DXpedition to Robben Island is on
> the books." Robben Island is listed amongst the top 500 most
> wanted IOTA groups in the latest IOTA Directory. There have
> been several fairly low-key operations in recent years, mainly
> on SSB only. The team, consisting of Phil/G3SWH, David/G3UNA,
> Vidi/ZS1EL, Kosie/ZS1SR, Malcolm/ZS1MC, Andrew/ZS1AN and
> Hester/ZS1ESU, has been allocated the special callsign ZS1RBN.
> The team plans to activate the island between April 4-7th,
> and, propagation permitting, have two stations on the air on
> a 24 hours a day basis. One station will operate SSB and one
> will operate CW on all bands 40-10 meters. QSLs will be
handled
> by G3SWH, either direct to his CBA with SAE and return postage
> or via the RSGB bureau.
>
> NA-073. Wil, DJ7AA, informs OPDX that he is planning another trip to
> Contadora Island, Panama, and will be active February 4-19th.
> His main activities are the WPX-RTTY Contest and the ARRL CW
> Contest. Outside of the contests, his activity will be mostly
> CW on 160/80 meters. Please look for him on 1826.5 and 3560.0
> kHz always listening split, so please look for his QSX
> frequencies. There may be some activity on the WARC bands and
> some SSB if someone needs it and if there is some time. The
> callsign is not known yet. QSLs for this activity are going
> via DL6MYL.
>
> OC-098. Ken Holdom, ZL4HU, is in the process of planning a small
> DXpedition to Pukapuka, North Cook Islands, and he would
> appreciate receiving any information on past activities from
> this island. Ken has already been provided with the following
> list of past operations (kindly donated by Neville G3NUG):
> KH6MG/ZK1, W0PBW/ZK1, ZK1AF, ZK1DP, ZK1KH, ZK1MB, ZK1TW and
> ZK1XP. Apart from his own activities as ZK1KH, Ken would
> appreciate the names of the operators of the above activities
> and the dates they were operational from Pukapuka, North
Cooks.
> If possible, he would also like to know the number of QSOs
> each operator made on these visits. If these operators are
> still active, he would also appreciate their current E-mail
> addresses. Also, if anyone knows of any other activity from
> Pukapuka, North Cooks, he would appreciate hearing from you.
> Ken's E-mail address is: [email protected]

> LIMITED "LOGBOOK OF THE WORLD" TESTING IS A HIT, states the ARRL Letter
> (Vol. 22, No. 04) dated January 24, 2003. An excerpt from the "ARRL
Letter"
> states: "The long-anticipated "Logbook of the World" (LoTW)--the ARRL's
> secure electronic contact-confirmation system--took a major leap toward
> public release this month with several weeks of limited-- or "alpha" --
> testing. Dozens of Amateur Radio operators checked out a preliminary
> version of the LoTW software, which is still under development. Once it's
> ready, LoTW will provide a means for participants to qualify for awards
> such as DXCC or WAS without having to first collect hard-copy QSL cards.
> ........... LoTW beta testing for the general Amateur Radio public is
> expected to begin soon. The ARRL has not announced a specific inauguration
> date for Logbook of the World. To read the complete press release, go
> to the ARRL Web page at: http://www.arrl.org
>
> KH0, MARIANA ISLANDS. Looks like this one will be active over the next
> few months by a few JA operators:
> * Look for JN1MYM and JO1UTG to operate from Saipan as KH0/JN1MYM
> and KH2DI/KH0, respectively, between January 31st and February 3rd.
> Activity will be on HF and 6 meters. QSL via their home callsigns.
>
> * Takeshi, JA5AUC, will operate from Saipan as KH0/JA5AUC from February
> 7-12th. Activity will be on HF and 6 meters. QSL via his home
callsign.
>
> * JR1KGF will be active as KH0/JR1KGF from Saipan between March
11-13th.
> His activity will be on HF and 6 meters. QSL via his home callsign.
>
> * Ikuko, JA5GSG, will operate from Saipan between June 5-11th. His
> callsign was not provided. Activity will be on HF and 6 meters. QSL
> via his home callsign.
>
> NEW OFFICERS FOR 2003. The Texas DX Society (TDXS) is pleased to announce
> its officers for 2003:
> President Madison Jones - W5MJ Secretary Ed Gerber - W5GCX
> Vice President Charles Frost - K5LBU Treasurer Dave Topp - W5BXX
>
> P4, ARUBA. Bob, W6FRH, is once again active as P40RH through January 29th.
> Activity will be on 160-6 meters, SSB and some CW. Over the past weekend
> Bob has been heard on 80/40/20/15 meters as well as plenty of 10 meter
> activity. QSL via W6FRH.
>
> PIRATE ALERT. Bill, K9RZ, reports that Roger, WA0ETE, QSL Manager for
> V31KQ, informs him that the callsign V31KQ is not presently active and
> recent operations on 15m CW are the work of a PIRATE. The only valid dates
> for operation from V31KQ in 2002 were from April 24th through May 2nd.
> At present, there are no firm plans to return to V31 in 2003, but that
> is subject to change. He will inform Bill if that happens.
>
> PJ5, ST. EUSTATIUS. Jim, K1NA, will be active as PJ5/K1NA (or possibly
> PJ5NA) in the ARRL International DX SSB Contest (March 1-2nd) as a
> Single-Op/All Band entry (This will be a casual effort). QSL via his
> home callsign.
>
> PY0F, FERNANDO DE NORONHA. Bill, W9VA, will be active as PY0ZFO from
> February 12-18th. His activity will include the ARRL CW DX Contest using
> a special callsign. Contest category and callsign will be announced later.
> QSL via W9VA.
>
> QSL INFO AND NEWS....................
> CO6XN QSL CHANGES. After much discussion with Abel, CO6XN, his QSL
> Manager Oscar/HK6DOS and Frank/N3ZOM have come to this conclusion.
> Because it is no longer cost effective for him, given the current
> unstable mail situation and increase in cost of the bureau service
> in Colombia, it is with much regret that Oscar will cease to handle
> Abel's cards effective June 1, 2003, via the bureau. The last date
> to accept via the bureau will be January 31, 2003. Frank will continue
> to handle all of Abel's cards for all past contacts DIRECT ONLY with
> sufficient post included with the contact request. Please be patient
> if sending a card since all contacts have to be confirmed over the
> air with Abel.
>
> Pavel, OD5/OK1MU, was active in the CQWW 160 CW Contest (this past
> weekend) as a Single-Op/Hign Power entry from the Czech Embassy. QSL
> via OKDX Foundation or OK1TN. Visit his Web page at:
> http://www.qsl.net/ok1mu
>
> Kurt, OE 1002419, has announced that he just uploaded the newest
version
> of the OE callsign directory as zipped PDF file to his homepage at:
> http://www.swl.net/oe1002419
> After entering the page, you can find the file under "Downloads ->
> OE-Callbook". The file size is about 580 kB (zipped). The PDF file
> contains all OE callsigns with their names and addresses (SW and
VHF/UHF
> hams = class 1 and class 2 hams) that were licenced at the 3rd of
> January 2003.
>
> Ted, W8TTS, has informed OPDX that he has taken over the QSL Manager
> tasks for PJ2/N8LGP for his operation during February 2002.
>
> Pascal, F5PTM (aka TT8ZZ), informs OPDX that he has begun (last week)
> to send out QSL cards for his activities in Chad this past autumn.
> Direct QSL cards that were received will be sent first. The remainder
> of the callsigns in the log will automatically receive a QSL via the
> bureau (about 14,000 QSL). For more info, a log search and pictures,
> please visit the Web page at: http://f6kim.free.fr/trafic/tt8zz
>
> POSTAGE IS UP. Pedro, HK3JJH, informs OPDX that the actual cost of
> regular mail in Colombia is 1.65 USD and IRC are not accepted at the
> post office where he lives (so he can not use them). He states that
> he will continue sending his QSLs via Bureau or direct from an American
> post office when he visits the USA, or send it to some friends there.
> Currently, Pedro states he is up-to-date on his outgoing QSLs, but
> he will need to make the above mentioned changes.
>
> QSL/MGR SEARCH ENGINE AVAILABLE. Boye, OZ7C, reports that his QSL
> and Manager search machine is back after one year out of sevice. The
> URL address is: http://www.qsl.dk/oz7c
> The QSL database contains 336368 records and the MGR database contains
> 17570 records, based on managers that have more than 3 callsigns to
> their service. There will be weekly updates, normaly on Monday.
>
> V51AS QSLs. Steve, WB6RSE, recently received a direct reply from Frank,
> V51AS, and enclosed was an article from a local paper showing a picture
> of pilfered mail discarded in the Windhoek riverbed. "Some of the mail
> found was posted at least three months ago, and includes both domestic
> and international mail. Investigators said the culprits mainly targeted
> international mail as Namibians living abroad sometimes posted cash to
> friends and family." Frank's hand written note included: "Nobody has an
> answer. I hope it's over. Please let others know about the problem."
> Frank chooses to QSL himself, which is his prerogative, even though a
> stateside or European manager would solve the problem. Bottom line:
> Frank does QSL. Steve received his in a matter of weeks. If it's been
> longer than that, you might consider trying again.
>
> YI1BGD QSL CONFUSION. This one has had many scratching their heads this
> past week. What we can gather so far is to "LISTEN" to the operator's
> instructions. From what we can tell, activity by:
> * Operator Mike, OM2DX, who has finished his operation as YI9OM
> on December 12, 2002, and is active (temporary) from the club
> station YI1BGD, should be QSLed via his father Steve, OM3JW.
> Steve informs OPDX that the YI1BGD QSLs are at the printer's,
> and he will send them out as soon as possible. By the way, Mike,
> OM2DX, is still waiting for his own personal callsign YI9DX.
Also,
> for more info about the YI9OM and YI1BGD activity by Mike, OM2DX,
> and the logs, visit the Web page at: http://www.qsl.net/om2dx
>
> * Cliff, G0MMI, is the QSL Manager only for contacts made with
> YI1BGD operated by Rodger, G0TLC. These DO NOT include CW
> contacts, as Rodger does not work CW.
>
> * Any other operator at YI1BGD (other than Mike or Rodger as
> operators) should be QSLed via YI1DZ: P.O. Box 7361, Baghdad
12216,
> IRAQ.
>
> Stan, OK1JR/YB0AJR, was active this past weekend during CQWW DX 160m
> CW Contest using the callsign YE0X from Jawa Island, Indonesia. QSL
> via OK1JR to the YB bureau. A special QSL card will made for CQ 160m
> Contest only.
>
> T31, CANTON ISLAND. Paul, A35RK, informed OPDX that Mike Young, KM9D,
> got his new callsign, T31MY, on January 24th. Over the past weekend,
> Mike has been heard on 17 meters CW (check 18094 kHz after 1700),
> 10 meters CW/SSB (check 28005 and 28450 kHz after 2000z) and on 12 meters
> CW (check 24916 kHz after 2300z). Activity was also reported on 40/30/20
> meters. Mike's length of stay may be three to four weeks. QSL via OM2SA.
>
> V2, ANTIGUA. Doug, W3CF/V26DX, and a group of Team Antigua operators will
> activate V26DX as a Multi-Two entry for the 2003 ARRL International DX
> SSB Contest (March 1-2nd) from the Royal Antiguan Hotel. The other
operators
> include Jay/WX0B, Jim/N2EA, Irwin/KD3TB and Sharon/N5CK. Doug states,
> "This is a shake down of the new hotel station. This is more vacation for
> some fun and sun in the sand than DXpedition. But will be on the air a
> lot." They will be running a 100 watts into a tribander and wires from
> the 8th story roof. They expect to have something on the air by Wednesday,
> February 26th during the evening. Activity on 6 meters will be possible
> but only with a wire antenna. QSL V26DX via KU9C. QSL the other operators
> as directed. Doug states he will also load the log into the eQSL database
> upon his return.
>
> V2, ANTIGUA. Members of the Florida DXPedition Group, Bill/W4WX (V25WX)
> and Larry/W1LR (V2/W1LR - applied for V26LR) are planning a trip to
Antigua,
> February 17-25th. They will be traveling "Space A" via military aircraft
> out of Patrick AFB, Cocoa, FL. They will be taking one small Mini-beam
> for 10/15/20 meters, Force 12 Sigma 5 Vertical for 10/12/15/17/20 meters,
> and a dipole for 6 meters. They will be on SSB, MMTTY, PSK-31 (no brags
> please) and Flashing Light on request for small ships. The pilot station
> will be Clarence, W9AAZ ( [email protected] ). QSL via home calls.
>
> V31, BELIZE. Paul/K1XM and Charlotte/KQ1F plan to be active from here
> in a "light" Multi-Single effort in the ARRL DX SSB Contest (March 1-2nd).
> The callsigns, bands/modes and length of stay was not provided.
>
> VK9, CHRISTMAS ISLAND. Steve, VK3OT (ex-VE3SIX), informs OPDX that he
> will be active as VK9XI from April 7-21st. The VK9XI licence will be
> granted on February 10th, and it will be the first time that this callsign
> has been used on 6 meters since February 28, 1980. Activity will be on
> 160-6 meters using an Icom 706, Kenwood TS690SAT and Yaesu FT650. The
> antennas will be a 5 element M2 for 6m, Mosley Tri-bander for HF, Hidaka
> Vertical for 80/40/30 meters and a Sloper for 160 meters. Look for him
> mainly on 50.115 MHz between 1000-1500z and at 2400z. Steve will listen
> to 28.885 MHZ during all daylight hours (if propagation exisits or 21.205
> MHz). He will also be active on the Lower Bands; 2300z (sunrise) and 1000z
> (sunset). Pilot stations announced so far are VK2QF and VK3AKK. QSL via
> VK3OT (Direct ONLY) to: Steve Gregory, Post Office Box 622 Hamilton,
> Victoria 3300, AUSTRALIA. For more up-to-date details and information,
> please visit the Web site at:

>
> VP8, FALKLAND ISLANDS. Mark, VP8CSA, will once again be active from here
> between now and February 11th. QSL via DL1SDN.
>
> XY, MYANMAR (Late Update). Hiroo, JA2EZD, continues to be active as XY2A
> until January 29th. Activity has been on CW mostly with some SSB.
Operations
> have been on 40/20/15 meters. He was expected to be joined by Kai/JH6VZS
> and Shirow/JF6DEA/KE1EO over the past weekend for a short operation
(January
> 25-27th). The two operators were hoping to use the callsigns XY5D and
XY6J.
> They plan to operate mainly on the low bands and 6m. As this was being
> written no QSNs (of XY5D and XY6J) were reported. There is further
> infomation at Shirow's Web site, "JA 6m Companion", at:
> http://www.ham-net.net/vu-dx/
