You are free to contact Mohammad by E-mail for updates or check QSOs list. His E-mail address is on (QRZ.com).

Bill, VK4FW, sent out the following press release on October 6th: "Today I received some disturbing emails being circulated from an EU operator.

Logs WILL be uploaded to LOTW and EQSL within 12 months of the DX- pedition. QSL Manager is VK4FW.
