JW/OH2FFP ---> Mika, OH2FFP was expected to be stationed at Kinnvika,
Nordaustlandet Island (EU-063) for twenty days [425DXN 895], but sea ice
prevented the team from reaching the island. The activities have been
postponed until next year, and Mika is returning home. [TNX F5PFP]
PIRATE ---> Bobby, N5BJ is still being pirated, as he is still receiving
QSL cards for contacts made on 160 metres CW. Please note that the genuine
N5BJ works neither 160m nor CW.
QSL TX7LX ---> Georg, DK7LX is receiving direct cards for TX7LX (his recent
activity form Mayotte, http://www.dk7lx.mayotte.2008.ms/) with old IRCs or
insufficient return postage. These requests will be processed via the
bureau. Please note that, because of the high postal rates in Germany, 2
USD are needed for destinations in Europe, and 3 USD are needed for
destinations outside Europe, while 1 new IRC is all right for both. To
speed up the QSLling process, bureau cards can be requested by e-mail
(dk7lx[at]web.de). [TNX DK7LX]
QSL VIA W2FB ---> Steve, W2FB says he has received the logs from Dr Khalid,
AP2DKH and is now able to issue the QSL cards (direct preferred, but bureau
cards will be accepted as well).
+ SILENT KEYS + Recently reported Silent Keys include Dale Newton
Richardson, Jr. (AA5XE), Tom Higginson (GW3AHN) and Rodrique Gagnon (VE2NN).
