> Fabrizio, IN3ZNR, reports that they have lost a member of their team.
> Mauro, IN3QBR, will not be joining the team on this DXpedition (no reason
> given). He reports everything is ready for this African effort. Operators
> are: Joe/AA4NN, Aldo/IK2ANI and Fabrizio/IN3ZNR. Activity will take place
> between June 28th- July 13th. In June, they will be traveling to South

> operation in Botswana will take place starting on July 2nd through the
6th.
> The operation in Lesotho will take place starting on July 7th through
11th.
> The plan is to run both CW and SSB with two stations on the air. In spite
> of the summer season, the CW guys will make a great effort on 80 and 160
> meters. The Phone operators will be monitoring 50.110 MHz for checking
> the 6 meter band. They will also pay attention to the frequencies of USA
> General Class band plan, 10-15-20 meters. The callsigns are already
> assigned:
> Lesotho - 7P8NR (IN3ZNR), 7P8NN (AA4NN) and 7P8NI (IK2ANI)
> Botswana - A25FV (IN3ZNR), A25NN (AA4NN) and A25NI (IK2ANI)

> To celebrate, Pope John Paul II visit to the City of Rijeka, his 100th

> Toni, EA5RM, reports that the S05X QSLs have arrived on June 6th from

>
> XQ6ET QSL UPDATE. George, W8UVZ (QSL Manager for XQ6ET), reports that
> cards for XQ6ET have begun to flow as a large batch goes into Monday's
> (June 9th) mail from Battle Creek. Verification process is slow with
> Bob's handwritten logs - as the process takes place over the air when
> propagation cooperates. Also, Bob reports he has many cards that are
> ready for QSLing, but he had no blank cards. These (QSLs) are being
sent
> to him this week, so the deserving should QRX sending duplicate
requests
> until mid July as their cards may be in the works! One final reminder
> for those seeking QSLs. Older style IRCs (smaller size) are not
> redeemable in George's area. He has gotten several QSL requests,
> particularly from JA and UA with these older IRCs. Those requesting
> QSLs should use the newer style CN01 (large size with bar coding on
> rear) IRCs, US Dollars in their envelopes or US postage on their return
> envelopes.

> T33, BANABA ISLAND (Looking for SUPPORT!). In OPDX.611, an announcement
> was made that an international team of about 15 well known operators were
> going to activate Banaba Island for a period of about 12 days in March
> or April of 2004. Because of the long ocean voyage and the lack of

undertaking.
> Each member will be contributing to travel expenses. However, even with
> this, they will fall far short of their needs. They hope organizations
will
