QSL INFO AND
NEWS....................
5X1GS QSL STATUS. Bob, WB2YQH, reports
that after several failed
attempts to get the logs from Graham,
5X1GS, for October 2004 through
2005, they have been received.
All QSL requests have been answered
for those waiting cards.
Graham notes he tried twice to E-mail them
to his QSL Manager,
WB2YQH, but one time it bounced and the next
time there was no
response. Graham thought Bob had the logs. It seems
his
corporate IT folks were adjusting the firewall, and this may
have
been the problem. ADDED NOTES: More news from Graham
as to his
inactivity. His tower had to be rebuilt after a bad
storm, and he is
just getting around to remounting the beams.
Also, his mother has been
very ill in the U.K., and he has been
travelling back home often. He
says he will be active in about 3
weeks. QSL via WB2YQH.
Graeme, J39BW, reports that he is now
in the process of recovering his
logs that were partially ruined
during Hurricane Ivan. The hurricane
also destroyed the roof of
his home and much of his equipment. To
confirm any contacts with
J39BW he asks that you QSL DIRECT to his
Manager WB2RAJ: Kash
Kashdin, 4591 West Overlook Drive; Williamsville,
NY
14221.
NEED A QSL MANAGER? Walt, WB3CDX, is volunteering to
be QSL Manager for
any DX, IOTA, or DXpedition. He states, "I
provide all QSL printing and
cards to stations I manage at no
charge. Paper logs are OK. Electronic
logs are preferred. Please
contact me if you are interested, and we can
then work out any
other details." Walt's E-mail address
is:
avgisus@.../FONT>
TY, BENIN. Luc, F6FVX, will
be active as TY/F6FVX from (Azove) northwest
Cotonou in Benin, between August
13th and September 6th. He will be on
the air with his TS-50 and dipole, and
only on HF speaking the French
language. QSL via the operator's
instructions.
V3, BELIZE. Look for Jimmy, W6JKV, to be active as V31IV
between now and
July 6th. His activity will be mostly on CW on 6 meters.
Europe stations
are to look for him on 50091 kHz and North America stations
are to look
for him higher up the band. Jimmy will also try to operate
EME.
VD2, CANADA (Zone 2). Pete, VE3IKV, plans to activate Zone 2
on 6 meters
from Labrador (VO2) beginning early July. He will use the special
callsign
VD2X. The purpose of the trip is to investigate high latitude
Sporadic-E
propagation on the North American side as it is affected by
proximity to
the North Geomagnetic Pole. Special attention will be paid to
multihop
transatlantic paths, as well as double hop to central and western
USA/
Canada. His equipment is a FT-650 and a 5-element K6STI wide
spaced
portable yagi (10dBd). Pete will be monitoring CW/SSB during the
drive,
and if the band opens up, he will switch over to the yagi. QSL via
VE3IKV
(QRZ.com).
YK, SYRIA. Saad, N5FF, will once again be active as
YK1BA between July
2-16th. He informs OPDX that the purpose of the trip is
not a DXpedition,
so his operating will be "very spotty and not extensive at
all." However,
he hopes to be able to operate at least 3-4 hours a day.
He thinks that
he will limit his operating to 20 meters, unless the
propagation is
better on other bands (80-10m) at the time. His most probable
operating
times are between 0100-0400z (Americas and Pacific), between
1900-2200z
and possibly between 1100-1400z (for the rest of the world). Saad
will
try to be around 14195 kHz on SSB, and 14045 kHz on CW. Also,
check
14080 kHz for RTTY running split and listening 5-10 kHz up. QSL
via
N5FF only.
