3B6, AGALEGA (POSTPONED)
If you are not an OPDX InterNet Subscriber,
you may have missed the special bulletin announcing that the 3B6RF
operation was postponed (Click on the links below to SUBSCRIBE). Basically,
officials of the newly elected Mauritius Government have asked the team
to postpone the expedition for 2-3 weeks for security reasons. Since
there are only two regular ships per year heading to 3B6 they have to
postpone their activity for six months until May 2001. For more details
and updates, check their Web page at:

40/30/20/17 meters CW. Two stations are expected to be active. Keep a
lookout for 4W/N6FF. According to one of the press releases, a big decision

4W/K7BV callsign will be used on all other bands. QSL via KU9C. Also,

on 20 meter CW signing with the callsign 5R8O, giving his name as Albert
and his QTH as Tananarive, Madagascar. He also is saying QSL via 5R8FL.
However, thanks to Ed, NA5G, who has been in contact with 5R8FL the
following status report was given on 5R8O. Andreas, 5R8FL, states that
the station "is legal, his callsign is a bit special because he operates
inside the Gendarmerie county. So to simplify the QSL reception, he
ask me to be his QSL manager." WFWL!

effort, with the addition of a few new operators, new antenna
systems and a new site located just few meters far from salt
water. The team will be arriving on the island on October 22nd
and should be testing the station installations by Thursday. This

QSL INFO AND NEWS
Tex, 9M2TO, reports that all the September QSOs QSLs including the WAE
and RTTY contests have been sent out to the JARL Bureau on October 2nd.
New Address. Beginning October 1, 2000, the QSL Manager for 3W7CW has
a new address. ONLY QSL to Adam, SP5JTF, new address as follows:
Adam Perz, P.O.Box 12, 01-323 Warszawa 83, POLAND. The previous SP5AUC
address (P.O.BOX 11 Warszawa 93) is open only until the end of the year.
That post office has been relocated quite a distance away from SP5JTF, and
it has been quite complicated to check POB there regularly. Additionally,
a lot of IRCs and green stamps have been stolen from SASEs in that place.
Also, SP5JTF has an E-mail address, so you can ask him directly for QSLs:
sp5jtf@radio.org.pl
The 3W7CW QSLs should be back from the printer probably early November
and all request should be answered by the end of this year.
Roberto, EA4DX, is glad to announce that 8Q7XX cards will be hitting your mailboxes this week. All cards received with postage up to September 30th, have been answered. More than 1200 envelopes received in the last two weeks have been carefully processed since his return from the Maldives. Some of you will have a turnaround of less than one week for your QSL. Cards received from now on will be answered on a weekly basis. Roberto states, "Thank you all and especially NCDXF for their continuous support." Logs, guestbook and QSL info available at:
7Q7TB and VP2MDC QSLs. Send DIRECT cards to G0IAS. However, Dave, G3TBK, is handling the bureau QSLs. Dave is sorry about the length of time taken to answer the cards, but his work schedule is large and his time in the UK is very limited, so PLEASE BE PATIENT... A couple of weeks should see ALL direct cards answered. Bureau cards should be complete by the month's end. Dave will be back in J3-land at the end of the month and perhaps G0IAS will handle the cards (more about that when the picture unfolds....).
BI2J QSL Update. Mac, W3HC, reports that all photos and information for the BI2J cards have been received from Alan, BA1DU. Mac will send them to the printers this week.
Norby, LX1NO, reports that QSL requests for OZ1AA should be answered soon. He hopes to receive the cards from the printer by the end of this month. Your requests will then be answered as soon as possible.

E22SEA Special Event Amateur Radio Station QRV Path: barf80!news From: James 9V1YC jamesb@pacific.net.sg Subject: FO0AAA Clipperton Video Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2000 14:02:04 +0000 Hi everyone, A bunch of you have been asking, and since its taken so long and I misplaced so much e-mail, I thought it would be good to write this here. I apologize for not responding directly, and I hope at least some of you who asked me are here on the dx lists/reflectors. Yes - at long last the official FO0AAA Clipperton video is done. Sorry it took so long. This delay was mostly because I had to do this bit by bit between my regular (e.g. stuff that actually pays the bills) production work, and also because this one includes some special archive history and pictures from Clipperton. There's so much interesting history behind the island (shipwrecks, murders, pirates, amazing DXpeditions etc...) that I felt it needed more than just the "59 QRZ" treatment. (The historical stuff alone took me months to dig up!). Details are on my homepage: http://home.pacific.net.sg/~jamesb Hope you all like it as much as ZL9CI, and I appreciate any comments you may have- good or bad. 73 james 9V1YC p.s. Yes- the A52A - Bhutan video is just being worked on now.
