ARI CONTEST ---> The ARI International DX Contest will be held on 6-7 May,

special call issued to the club. Further information can be found at
www.qrz.com under ON40DST. [TNX ON8JP]
QSL VU4AN/ ---> There is conflicting QSL information for a few VU4AN/
stations. Apparently not all of the operators who were supposed to use F5CWU
as their QSL manager (http://www.dx-pedition.de/andaman2006/) have agreed
upon this route. First hand information collected from the operators
concerned is that cards for VU4AN/VU3PLM (operated by Claudia, IZ1GLO/K2LEO)
and VU4AN/VU3TLY (operated by Andrea, IK1PMR) can go via IK1PMR, while cards
for VU4AN/VU3RWO (operated by Dave, K3LP) should go via N3ST.
