3D2XX (1988) ON LOTW ---> The computer disks have been lost, but  W6SZN  has
the paper log. You can email your QSO data to Kip (kedwards[@]itol.com)  and
he will upload the requests to LoTW once a week or so. This  was  the  first
DXpedition to Rotuma. [TNX The Daily DX]

4W6A ---> The 4W6A team now has a Titanex V160E vertical antenna for use  on
160 metres. They had previously planned to use an  18m  Spiderbeam  pole  as
the support for a 160m inverted-L. With the arrival of the Titanex, the  18m
Spiderbeam pole will now be used for a  full-size  80m  quarter-wave  folded
monopole vertical instead. All the antennas will be  located  on  the  beach
within a few metres of the ocean.
4W6A  will  be  QRV  from  Atauro  Island  (OC-232),  Timor-Leste  on  16-26
September. There will be up to four station active on 160-10 metres CW,  SSB

QSL via M0URX, direct or bureau (OQRS  at  www.m0urx.com).  The  entire  log
will be uploaded to LoTW as  quickly  as  possible  after  the  end  of  the
operation or, if possible, also during the DXpedition.  Further  information
can be found at www.4w6a.com [TNX 9M6DXX]

There are no cards left for some of  those  activities,  so  he  will  issue
"just a note confirming the contact rather than a printed QSL. Logs will  be
loaded to LoTW when time permits".

XF4L (1989) ON LOTW ---> Some of the computerized logs have been  lost,  and
only one third of the QSOs has been uploaded to  LoTW.  However  "the  paper
logs remain intact  and  individual  QSOs  can  be  uploaded  by  contacting
OH2BU". [TNX The Daily DX]
