> Baldur Drobnica, DJ6SI, showed up on the air yesterday as 9U0X from
> Burundi.  Christa Drobnica, DL6KCD, Baldur's XYL, states that Baldur
> will be operating this DXpedition alone until September 20.  Baldur's
> friend Tom, DL1QW, tells us that Baldur will be QRV with 100 watts and
> a FD4/G5 antenna on all bands.  Tom mentions Baldur will be there
> until September 21.  So it looks like Baldur will be QRV for about a
> week.  Baldur likes CW and can usually be found on 1828, 3508, 7002,
> 10102, 14025, 18085, 21025, 24902 and 28025.  QSL via DJ6SI.

> Chris, TT8DX, informs he is back in Bam, Chad, as of September 10.
> He'll be there until September 23 when he goes to N'djamena where he
> will stay for one week before leaving this North African nation.
> Those who need Chad can look for Chris as follows:
> 
> 0230 - 0400Z on 40 or 80 meters
> 0430 - 0545Z on 20 meters
> 1200 - 1300Z on 10 or 12 meters

> 1700 - 1900Z on 12, 15 or 17 meters
> 1900 - 2000Z on 20 meters
> 
> His antenna is just a simple dipole and he runs a KW on all bands
> except 12 meters, where he is barefoot with 100 watts.  During the
> first two weeks of October Chris plans to be in Mali (TZ) and
> finishing up in Cameroon (TJ) between the middle of October and all of
> November.  QSL either direct or via the bureau to F5OGL.
> 
> Ken Holdom, ZL2HU, confirms that Wilbert, ZL2BSJ, was operating
> legitimately from Campbell Island early yesterday as ZL9BSJ.  Ken
> informs, "He (ZL2BSJ) is currently in the area on work business and
> was ashore for a very brief time."  Wilbert, who will be going on the
> upcoming trip to Chatham later this year, has a license and all the
> appropriate documentation, which will be forwarded to the DXCC Desk
> upon his return to the mainland.  Length of stay was not mentioned.
> QSL via ZL2BSJ.
