HAM RADIO BLOGS  ---> Christian, DL6KAC  is putting together  a directory  of
amateur radio blogs (http://ham-blogs.net/). "I know that there exists a huge
bunch of weblogs out there", he says. "I set up this website as an effort  to
offer a comprehensive directory of ham radio related weblogs, but to  achieve
this goal I need the help  of the amateur  radio community. So  if you are  a
blog user, please submit your site to the webdirectory". FAQs can be found at
http://www.dl6kac.de/blog/2006/ham-radio-blogs-webdirectory/

EA7JX, either QSL route will be good.

to RZ3EC, as K8SIX and VE6VK have run out of cards. [TNX IK3QAR]

QSL XE1/DL6KAC --->  Christian, DL6KAC has  been notified that  so far  quite
some pile has accumulated  in Germany. Please  be patient as  he will not  be

QSL YE7P ---> Al Bailey, K8SIX is no longer able to confirm contacts made  by
North American stations with YE7P (OC-269) in September 2005. Those who still
