AS-109 ---> The RT9K/p expedition to  Zhuravlinyy  Island  (AS-109)  [425DXN
1091] has been cancelled. The ice is at the same time too thin for the  team
to use their snowmobiles, and still too  thick  for  a  boat  to  reach  the
island. [TNX DX World]

HK0NA QSL UPDATE ---> The cards have been designed, the order  has  gone  to
the printer and the HK0NA QSL  card  processing  should  start  sometime  in
May-June. "This will be  an  enormous  enterprise  and  will  take  time  to
process", N2OO says. "QSL cards will not be mailed all at one time.  We  are
pre-processing direct OQRS  requests  first.  Direct  mail  will  be  next".
Updates will be posted to www.sjdxa.org/hk0na.htm
