QSL INFO AND NEWS
QSL REQUEST ANSWERED. Last week OPDX was asked to find out what the QSL status of the XR0ZY operation that took place in April 2000.

The QSL Manager is OM2SA: Juraj Sipos, 93013 Trhova Hradska 550, Republic of Slovakia, Europe.

QSL REQUEST. Stations VO7A, VO1W, and VO1X were active in the CQ WPX CW Contest. Does anyone have QSL info for these unusual callsigns?

3B6RF UPDATE: Steve, N3SL, informs OPDX that he now has the "official" logs from 3B6RF after the cleanup. The cleanup was able to happen thanks to the forethought of Riki, 4X4NJ, to have paper (log) backups. Steve states in case some other errors in band or mode were missed, he will be happy to accept requests for log checks from anyone who still sees a discrepancy. Steve's E-mail address is: N3SL@aol.com Cards are still on track to be delivered to the group at Friedrichshafen (the last weekend of June), so Steve expects the N.A. batch to arrive stateside in mid-July. They will start going out as soon as possible. The label program is ready, and the cards are sorted. People should expect them no earlier than late July-early August.

6W1/F5PHW and J28BS LOGS ONLINE. Phil, F5PHW, informs OPDX that his logs for his old DXpeditions are now available. For his J28BS operation (January 1993, October-November 1994, April 1999) go to the Web page:

NOTE: Postage in Norway will be increased 25% July 1st. After that date one "green stamp" will no longer cover the postage for one QSL card from Norway.

A QSL MANAGER'S QSL MANAGER! Well known QSL Manager Steve, KU9C, announced this week that he will have the honor of serving as W3HNK's QSL Manager (yes, that isn't a mistake!) for his operation earlier this year in FS5/PJ7. Steve states, "To put a face along with one of the more famous calls in the hobby of DXing, I've done a picture QSL card ..... and I've just received delivery information on the card. I expect to have the card in hand around June 20th....and expect to have all of the direct QSL requests out by the end of June.

The station signing TM6JUN, which was active until June 10th from Utah Beach, is to be QSLed via F2RO.

Edwin, ZS5BBO, will be going QRT beginning about June 23rd for a few months. The reason is that Edwin and Janet/ZS5JAN have bought a new QTH and will be relocating. Edwin also states, that his QSL Manager duties will also take a break as well while they settle down. However, he mentions that he posted a couple hundred cards recently. So if you have sent a card for any of the callsigns listed below, please don't send another card as your cards will be answered. Please be patient.

Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLHS)

http://ARLHS.COM

Dear Editor:
The ARLHS is the world's largest amateur radio society devoted exclusively to ham radio and lighthouses. Less than a year old, our membership already totals several hundred worldwide, with an average of 2 new members being added every day. In addition to sponsoring expeditions to lighthouses and lightships around the world on a weekly basis, we also sponsor four operating events throughout the year. The next events are the immensely popular NLLW and ILLW annual operating events. (The latter event is in co-sponsorship with GM4SUC.) We offer an extensive lighthouse awards program and maintain perhaps the internet's largest and most complete list of the lighthouses and lightships of the world.

Any publicity you can give our NLLW and ILLW lighthouse operating events would be appreciated. Full details can be found on our web pages.

(1) National Lighthouse / Lightship Weekend -- NLLW August 4 & 5, 2001. Guidelines are on the web page

http://www.waterw.com/%7eweidner/arlhs/page2a.html
For the first time awards and prizes are offered for this event. The prize drawing is an exquisitely detailed miniature collectible lighthouse, signed limited edition, donated by one of our sponsors, Harbour Lights.

(2) International Lighthouse / Lightship Weekend -- ILLW August 18 & 19, 2001. Guidelines are on the web page

http://www.waterw.com/%7eweidner/arlhs/page2b.html

Our main web site is at http://arlhs.com and it contains our stated purposes in sponsoring expeditions to remote lighthouses as well as details about our worldwide organization, the largest ham radio society devoted to lighthouse/lightship operations. Membership details and FAQs are also accessible from this main page.
