"Some of you
would have received your cards, and some of you have not.
I will be
getting additional QSL cards tomorrow (as I have run out of
cards),
and will finalise all outstanding cards. If you have sent your
card to
the address below, your card has most likely been received and
you
will get a card back. If you have used the ZS6M post box address,
it
could have been stolen, so if you have not received a card and
used
that address, mail a card to the address below. I am sorry about
the
delay and interruptions, but I am out of E-mail contact quite
regularly
due to work reasons. Also, I have to mention that my QSL
Manager, OM
Bushy Roode, ZS6M, ex-ZS6YQ, had a serious stroke 2 weeks
ago and is
still in a coma in the hospital. I am meeting his son
tomorrow and we
will have a look to see whether he has outstanding
cards as well."

bureau.
TT8, CHAD. Philippe "Fil", F4EGS, will once again be active as
TT8PK from
May 20th to July 20th. He is in N'Djamena City for professional
reasons,
so his time will be limited. He plans to be on all modes (RTTY, PSK,
SSB
and may be a little CW) with a FT100D and a vertical MA5V. If you
have
need for Chad on a band, ask him on the air, and he'll maybe QSY.
QSL
via F4EGS, direct or by the bureau. ADDED NOTES: It has been reported
that
Philippe has sent all of his documentation for his past operations
from
Chad, Togo, Tadjikistan and Gabon, to the ARRL. It was also
mentioned
that in August, Philippe is expected to be active from Kabul,
Afghanistan.
More information is forthcoming.
TT8, CHAD. QSL Manager
Dennis, PA7FM, provides the following update on
the TT8M and TT8AMO
operations. Michael, TT8M, is now QRT for about one
month and will returned
back home for a few weeks off. He will return
to Chad around mid-June
bringing antennas for 6m and probably also 2m.
He will try to do EME on both
bands then (JT6M/WSJT), and of course, he
will try to catch every sporadic E
opening into EU. In the meantime,
Pierre, TT8AMO, will still be in Chad and
will remain active in his spare
time. Since Pierre will probably not be "out
in the field" until Michael
returns, he should be active about everyday. He
will also be able to use
Michael's antenna + antenna tuner, so he will be on
all bands now. Dennis
states, "QSLs for both operations are being designed
right now and they
will be printed as soon as possible." More information is
available
on:
http://www.pa7fm.nlVP2E, ANGUILLA. Four members of the Florida DXpedition Group,
Inc., will
be here between October 25th and November 1st for the CQ WW SSB
Contest.
Participating members are Bill/W4WX (VP2EWX), David/WA4ET
(VP2EDP),
Cory/N1WON (VP2ECM) and Clarence/W9AAZ (VP2EAZ). Each member will
operate
a different band during the contest as a Single-Band entry. Look for
them
on all modes on 160-6 meters before and after the contest. QSL direct
to
their home callsigns.
VQ9, CHAGOS ISLANDS. Larry, VQ9LA (aka
WD0HSP), innforms OPDX that he will
be off the island (Diego Garcia) and QRT
for 3 months between May 4th and
July 25th. He mentions that he really
enjoyed all the 30 meters LP CW/RTTY
QSOs during the month of April. Larry
states, "73 to all and see everyone
on the low bands next season."
XY,
MYANMAR (IOTA Op). Look for Nick, UT4UT, to be active as XY4U from
Thebyu
(aka Sandy) Island (IOTA AS-167), May 20-20nd. Activity is expected
to be on,
or near, the CW and SSB IOTA frequencies with CW being his
main mode. The
operation will begin around 1000z, May 20th and end around
0900z, May 22nd.
QSL via UT4UT (QRZ.com).
YB5, INDONESIA. Bob, ex-9V1GO, is now active as
YB5AQB. Bob thinks he will
be here for at least two years, so 9V-land is
effectively over and YB-land
is his new QTH. Bob reportedly has not been too
active on the low bands
for the past few weeks, but that is changing. Bob
will have two stations
in Indonesia. Look for him on the weekends from Batam
and during the week
from Jakarta. In Batam, he has a complete station for the
low bands which
is operational. In Jakarta, his apartment is on the 21st
floor and the
antennas are being put up for the low bands, and it is not
operational yet.
He states, "So, during the week, all bands, all modes and
not much 160/80
until I get QRO in Jakarta. Weekends when I fly back (1 hour
20 minutes
from Jakarta) to Batam, low bands mostly. QSL via OK1DOT, direct
only.
YI, IRAQ. Ilian, LZ1CNN, is now active as YI9LZ. His current
activity
is on 40-10 meters. In about a week, he will be active on the 80 and
160
meter bands. He preferably works on CW, but he will also be on SSB
too.
He'd like to participate in contests (depending on his duties of
course).
Ilian will stay there for about 6 months or possibly until the end
of
the year. QSL via LZ1ZF, by the bureau or direct to: George
Vodenicharov,
P.O. Box 8, 6000 Stara Zagora, BULGARIA. ADDED NOTE: YI9LZ
counts for 3
points for the "St. Teodosii Tyrnovski Award". Details are
