He is aware that "there are still many stations who need OC-123", and plans to return there in 2019. CLUB LOG'S MOST WANTED LIST ---> The latest Most Wanted List, generated on 31 March, is available at https://secure.clublog.org/mostwanted.php. The information is derived from QSOs uploaded to Club Log (currently 419 million log entries available for analysis) and, to improve quality, only QSOs that have QSLs confirmed are considered to be worked. The most wanted charts are rebuilt once per month, on average. POSTAL RATES (UK) ---> Postal rates in the United Kingdom changed on 27 March.

T31: OPERATORS WANTED ---> John Mitton, KK7L is "looking for a few skilled HF operators to join me on a cruise to Central Kiribati (T31) for a full week on Nikumaroro Island (OC-043). The cruise departs Nadi, Fiji on June 24 - returning to Nadi on July 12th with one-day stops at Rotuma and Futuna on the way out and back. The ship will be at Nikumaroro for eight days, so with setup and takedown we will be six, maybe seven days QRV at T31.

WRTC 2018 ---> The Organizing Committee of the World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) 2018 in Germany has opened the application process for qualified individuals who would like to serve as referees. The primary responsibility of the referee is to monitor the competitors to confirm that they are following all of the WRTC rules. The selection process is being led by Ulf Ehrlich (DL5AXX), who says that "with the rules allowing both operators to transmit simultaneously, the role for each referee is really challenging". The deadline for submitting applications is 31 October 2017. See http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/qualification/referee-application for the application form. =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3B8IK N4GNR DU1IST JA1HGY PJ2ND K8ND 3B8MM DL6UAA DU3LA W3HNK PJ2T W3HNK 3B9FR M0OXO DU7P DU7DUG PJ4DX M0URX 3G3O CE3OP DY1T DU1IVT PJ7PL WA1ZAM 3V8SS LX1NO E2A E21EIC PQ5B PP5VB 3V8ST LX1NO E6AD N7BF PV2P PY2DY 3W1T RW6HS E7DX E77E PW2D M0OXO 3W9HRN DL1HRN EA8/G3XAQ G3SWH R100MSZ RA3D 4D1R A61BK EA9KB EA7FTR R1611M RK3AW 4E1ADW 9V1KG ED8B EA8CZT R80RTL UA3RF 4K6AG RW6HS ED8W EA8DO S21ZEE YL2GN 4L6AM EA7FTR EF1W EA1WS S5100LIONS S53DOX 4M1K OH0XX EF2A EA2OT S570C S50C 4M6CQ YV6BXN EF3T EA3CCN SI9AM SM3TIR 4U1GSC 9A2AA EF9R EA5KB SN1D SP1RKT 4V1G W3HNK EH5VEF EA5ST SN3A SP3GEM 4X0A 4X1VF EH7FCM EA7URM SN5V SQ5EBM 4X2M 4X4DZ EP2AMM IK2DUW SN7H SP7PGK 4X4NJ WA4WTG ES9C ES5RY SO4R SP4PND 4X6TT N4GNR EX8TR RW6HS SQ6H SQ6PLH 4X7R 4X6OM FG4NN NI5DX SX1S SV1PMR 5B4AJC UA3DX FK8CE NI5DX SX2X SV2JAO 5B4ALG EA5IDQ FP5CJ K9OT SZ5RDS SV5AZP 5B4ALX IZ4AMS GC6BRC MW0DHF T2TT N7RO 5H3MB IK2GZU H2X IZ4AMS T32TV KE5EE 5Q1A OZ5ESB H44MS DL2GAC T42A RW6HS 5R8SV G3SWH HB0/HB9RB RC3C TC102GS TA3AHJ 5Z4FV N3ZS HF0H SP9KGC TF3CW LX1NO 6E3MAYA XE3N HF6FIRAC SP6IEQ TI5W W4FS 6W1SU M0URX HF800O SP6PAZ TI8/AA8HH K8DV 7Q7BP G3MRC HK1MW N2OO TM17PGM F4FCE 7X2VFK 7X2DD HK3TK F5CWU TM3Z F4DSK 7X3WPL 7X3DL HL2ZIK JE1XUZ TM5A F5VHJ 7X5KBS 2E0SDV HP1XT K5WW TM77M F5MUX 7Z1JA KE5JA HR2WW KD4POJ TM8A F8DVD 8J60JARE JG2MLI HR5/F2JD F6AJA TZ5XR F5MXH 8P5A NN1N HS0AC HS5NMF UE3KR K2PF 8P6DR G3RWL HS0ZME SM6NT UK8GCG RW6HS 8S0C SM0MPV HZ1BL IZ8CLM UK8IAR RW6HS 9A1957AA 9A2AA HZ1BW W3HNK UK8IZ RW6HS 9A57AX 9A5XX HZ1TT A61BK UN3M EA7FTR 9H3HI DL7VFM IB9A IZ2WFL UN7TX RW6HS 9H3JD DL7VFM IE9K IT9DSZ UP0L DL8KAC 9J2BO G3TEV IF9A IT9ATF UP2L UA9AB 9M8K JR3WXA II2S IZ2FOS UP9L RW6HS 9N1AA N4AA II9P IT9CHU V21ZG DL7AFS 9N7XW SP6AXW IO2X IK2NCJ V31AE EB7DX A31MM EA5GL IO5O IK5RLP V31VP WB0TEV A35JP/p JA0RQV IO9A IT9YVO V47JA W5JON A44A A47RS IR1Y IZ1YPF V47JR W2APF A61FJ LZ1YE IR2R IZ2EWR V51/TA1HZ LZ3HI A61FK A61BK IR4M I4IFL V53DX DO4DXA A61HA A61BK IR6T IK6VXO V633KS JA6REX A61Q EA7FTR IR8P IZ8FWN V73NS W3HNK A61QQ A61BK IY4FGM I4KMW V84O V85TL A71TA IZ8CLM J28ND S57DX VB3E VE3AT A73A M0OXO J28PJ F1TMY VC2W VA2WA A91WMD A92AA J41J SV1PMQ VC3T VE3DZ A96A A92AA J42T SV2DCD VC6V VE6AO AH2P EA4AK J43TR SV3DCX VC7T VE7GL B1Z EA7FTR JW2US LA2US VE100VIMY/VE8 N7RO B3D BA4EG JW8EKA LA8EKA VE100VIMY/VO2 N7RO B4S BA4EG JW9BX LA9BX VK4KW N3SL B4T BA4TB KH2BY EA5BY VK4NM M0OXO B7M BG7LHY KL7RST K7ICE VP5P W2TT B7P BA4EG KP3H NP3LT VP9HE W2AF BV0WPX BV2KI L77D LU6DC VP9I WW3S BW0PX BM2JCC LB8IB LA9VDA VQ917JC ND9M BY5HB BD4HF LM10HAM LA2G VY1RST/VY0 K7ICE C4A 5B4KH LM80Q LA9VDA WP2Z KU9C C4W 5B4WN LM80REX LA9VDA WP3C W3HNK CB3R CE3KHZ LO7H LU7HW WP3R W3HNK CN2AA UA2FM LT7F EA5KB XM1150CAN VE1AEH CN2MA LY5W LZ180VL LZ1ZF XV9NPS JA2NPS [b] CN2R W7EJ LZ45YE LZ1YE XV9NPS JA2ODB [d] CN3A IV3ZXQ M1E MM0GOR XX9O XX9AU CO2RQ EA5IDQ M1U M0UTD YE1K EA5GL CO8LY EA7ADH M8C G4DFI YN2KW N5ET CP4BT DJ2BW NP2VI/100 NP2VI YN2MF N5ET CR5D CT1FJO OD5PY KU9C YN2MG N5ET CR6K CT1ILT OD5ZZ NI5DX YN2WL N5ET CR6T CT1ESV OF0Z W0MM YO13IPA YO3AS CX1UI IK2DUW OF100FI OH2BAD YV1YL OH0XX CX2DK EA5GL OM42KYSUCE OM3CND Z21MH IZ0EGA D41CV HB9DUR [d] OP17HC ON7PP Z60A OH2BH D41CV IK2NCJ [b] OP70BFS ON2KFJ ZB2TT M0URX D4C HB9DUR [d] OY1OF M0URX ZF2CJ JJ2RCJ D4C IK2NCJ [b] P33W UA3DX ZF2FL K5QBX D4T CT1FFU P44N KW8N ZF2LC W2SM D4Z HB9DUR [d] PG400TH PA3ETC ZF2TC KE5TC D4Z IK2NCJ [b] PH90T PA2TMS ZS9Z ZS1OIN DU1/A61M A61BK PJ2HQ W3HNK ZY2A PP2BO 4O7CW Sergey Belikov, Filipa Kovacevica 31 ulaz 2 stan 22, 85 310 Budva, Montenegro 6W2SC Brucker Peter, Zamardi, PF. 15, 8621, Hungary 9M2M Hairil Anuar Abdul Hamid, 49F Jalan 2 Hujung, Taman Sri Mawar, 02600 Arau, Perlis, Malaysia BP0P A.R.T.
