D20VB ---> According to first hand information collected by Cezar (VE3LYC),
Vlad (UA4WHX) "was never on AF-108 and whoever spotted him like that made a
rather bad joke". Vlad added that "he has no plans at this time to activate
any of the D2 IOTAs", because travelling throught the country is extremely
difficult, the islands are much less safer than the mainland and the terrain
is very rough. [TNX www.islandchaser.com]
DXCC NEWS ---> The following operations have been approved for DXCC credit:
9Q1D, 9Q1TB and 9Q1EK (Democratic Republic of the Congo), current operation
beginning 22 September 2006. [TNX NC1L]
QSL 9N1AA ---> Satish is back on the air after being inactive for the past
three years or so. His QSL manager (Carl Smith, N4AA) says that apparently
Satish now has access to his old logs (previously reported as lost), even
though he cannot provide a copy of them. Carl will be sending him a list of
the "several hundred unanswered requests on hand at N4AA", and hopefully he
will be able to confirm those old contacts. "I will answer these cards as
soon as possible and to the best of my ability", Carl says. [TNX QRZ-DX]
QSL VK0JLX ---> Paul, VK2JLX/VK0JLX says he has decided not to select a QSL
manger, he himself will reply to the many QSL cards that await his for his
return to Australia around mid 2007. He is still working at Davis Station,
Antarctica and his current operating times on the amateur radio bands are 6-7
UTC and 10-16 UTC (weekdays) and 5 UTC onwards (weekends).
QSL YU6AO ---> The following was published on the DXCC Dialog Weblog
(http://www.arrl.org/blog/DXCC%20Dialog) on 11 October: "Reference our recent
comments about YU6AO credits [425DXN 805, ed.], we have decided to continue
crediting any YU6AO QSOs made on or after July 4, 2006. While we are still
concerned that for some reason there are apparent date errors on certain
YU6AO QSL cards, we will continue to count these credits pending further
investigation. If you have received a YU6AO QSL card showing a date of July 4
or later which actually represents a QSO made prior to July 4, 2006, please
let us know in an email to dxcc@arrl.org". [Bill Moore, NC1L]
