DXCC NEWS ---> The
VU4RBI/VU4NRO QSL cards are being accepted for
DXCC credit. The following clarification comes
from Bill Moore, NC1L (DXCC Manager): "A
few cards have been rejected on the
basis of incomplete information on the cards. We
apologize to Bharathi, NIAR, et.al. for
any misunderstandings. If you received a QSL card complete with all
data (time, date, band, mode and callsign), there is no problem.
If you have a QSL card with less than complete data (callsign only,
missing time/date, etc.) we will need to see the card at HQ. This is
usual procedure. Blank cards and cards missing information are
always subject to inspection at HQ. Do not add the missing
information. As always we strive to maintain the highest
integrity possible in the DXCC program. Ms. Prasad has
graciously agreed to supply additional log information
where necessary. If you have only an incomplete card, do
not alter the card by filling in the missing
information. Simply send us the card, and we will try to obtain the
fill. If you expect a direct QSL, it would be easier on everyone
involved if you would wait for the direct card".
HV5PUL --->
Station Manager Luca Della Giovampaola, IW0DJB should
like to remind DXers that HV5PUL, the amateur radio station located at
the Pontifical Lateran University, is still active and in good health. Cards
