the SP8 home callsigns (except for 3Z0ZAG), or SP8AJC.
7O1YGF UPDATE
Hans, DK9KX, informed the DX Community that Dominik, DL5EBE,
handed over documents regarding the 7O1YGF operation to Wayne Mills, N7NG,
at the Ham Radio Fair in Friedrichshafen last weekend. Now it's up to the
ARRL to make a decision. The sad new is that Bernd Krueger, DJ7MG, one of
the crew passed away in April 2002.
AL8, ALASKA
Ron, WA6FGV, is currently active from here as AL8/WA6FGV.
His stay is unsure, but he has been active on 40/20/17 meters CW. Watch
after 1300z on 40 meters, after 0500z on 20 meters and after 2330z on
17 meters. Also, check phone on 14205 at about 0300z. He says he has a
very high noise level, but he wants to pass out the AL8 prefix as much
as he can.
CE0Y, EASTER ISLAND
Hisato, 7K1WLE, will be active from here (IOTA SA-001)
for his summer vacation between July 18-24th as CE0Y/7K1WLE. Some may
remember Hisato as VY0/7K1WLE last October. Activity will be on 160-10
meters, mainly on CW and some SSB. He will be using a IC-706+IC-2KL(500W)
with a wire antenna. Suggested operating frequencies are:
CW - 1826, 3504, 7004, 10104, 14004, 18074, 21004, 24894 and 28004
SSB - 3795, 7088, 14265, 18145, 21265, 24945 and 28465 kHz.
He may briefly be active from Papeete, French Polynesia (FO) for one day
before and after his stay at Easter Island. QSL via JN1HOW:
Toshihiko Niwa, 1081-8 Sakae, Kitakawabe, 349-1213 JAPAN.
CORRECTION (OOOPPPS Department)
In OPDX.568 under "IOTA NEWS", the IOTA
number EU-114 was incorrect for Dany's, F5CW, operation from Guadeloupe.
It should be NA-114, not EU-114.
CY9, ST.PAUL ISLAND
The operators from the CY9DH operation are now QRT.
Last report, they made 12,180 contacts on HF as of 0000z July 7th. No
report is available on VHF contacts. QSL the operation via W7XU. Duane,
WV2B, reports that he took pictures before he left the isalnd on July 2nd.

EA9, MELILLA (Update)
Juan, EA7VK, updates OPDX that the URE group going
to Alboran Island (IOTA AF-042), July 19-23rd, is near North Africa.
They will be operating on 80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 and possibly on 160
meters (He says, "This time no good for top band."). There will also be
activity on 6m, 2m and 70cm on SSB and CW. If it is possible, there could
be operations on RTTY. The transmissions on 50Mhz from the Grid Square
IM85LW is new! They expect to put three stantions on IOTA frequencies:
one SSB on the HF bands, one CW on the HF bands and one SSB alternating
CW for 6/2m and 70cm. Maybe a fourth station will be added for the HF bands.
QSL via EA7RU.

P5/4L4FN, NORTH KOREA (Upate)
Bruce, KK5DO, informs OPDX that several
weeks ago he sent a bunch of equipment over to Ed, P5/4L4FN. He was in
Beijing during the end June and has collected everything. He is now back
in North Korea. Among the things sent to him was a complete satellite
station for AO-40 (less the radio which he has), a Hex Beam and rotor as
well as an addition to his Butternut antenna for 6m/12m/17m. In the next
few weeks he will assemble these items and make them operational. Ed will
start making some satellite contacts on AO-40, phone only. The Hex Beam
should allow him to have a better signal than he has now, and give him the
ability to point at the signals he wants to hear. The upgrade on the
Butternut will allow him to continue to make 6m contacts and possibly
work some further away stations than he already has. Also included in the
package was a copy of QST that had an article about him by Bernie, W3UR,
and the plaque that was given to him in absence at Dayton, as well as
some of his QSL cards (Bruce thought it would be nice for him to see
how they look in print).
PIRATES REPORTED
Roger, WA0ETE, QSL Manager for V31KQ reports receiving numerous QSL
card requests for operations outside of their operating dates of April
23rd to May 2nd, 2002. Any operations outside of these dates are most
likely the work of PIRATES, as the callsign V31KQ has not been reissued.
There are no plans for WA0ETE or K0GHK to return to V31 for the remainder
of 2002.
Tom Wood, N4CID, reports that it appears someone is pirating Julian's callsign, ZD7CW. Judging by the cards Tom has been receiving, the pirate is using CW and not very active. He/She was on last November, (2001). ZD7CW, Julian, is no longer active and has been inactive for several years.
QSL INFO AND NEWS
The correction QSL info for 4L1RK is not RW6HS but his home address:
Revaz Kvinikadze, Tbilisi, St. T. Tabidze-41, House-43. Rep. of Georgia.
QSL for W2NNY are via N2JNZ for Grid FN24. Mail address is: George Osier, 708 East South Street, Ogdensburg , New York 13669.
Walt, G3NYY, informs OPDX that Krissada, E21EJC (known as "Kob" for short), is concerned that his QSL route has been published incorrectly somewhere. He wants it to be known that he does not, repeat NOT, have a QSL Manager. The only correct QSL route for E21EJC is direct to the address on www.qrz.com, or C.B.A., or via the Thai QSL bureau.
Dennis K7BV, now living in CT since joining the ARRL HQ staff earlier this year, was visiting (as this was being written) with Luis CT3EE and other Maderia Island friends July 3-8th. This is a mimi-DXpedition stop as he works his way to Helsinki for the WRTC2002 July 9-16th. (See the Web page at: http://www.wrtc2002.org ) Dennis was expected to be quite active on CW signing CT3/K7BV on HF bands. QSL via Steve, KU9C.
Jim Henry, GI0DVU, QSL Manager for GI4GTY which is a club callsign, has recently been receiving several QSL cards for YO5TP, all of which have been directed via GI4GTY. These have been for operations in the March-April 2002 period. Neither GI4GTY nor GI0DVU act as QSL Manager for YO5TP.
Tim, N6WIN, was active this past week from Aruba, first as N6WIN/P4 and then P40TC later. QSL both callsigns via N6WIN, Bureau or direct to: Tim Coker, 1379 San Bernardino Rd Apt M, Upland, CA 91786, USA. By the way, Tim was operating on a honeymoon trip (WOW!).

be interesting to the community. The two families will have 3 HAM operators,
DL7IQ/Birgit, DJ7TO/Olaf and DL7IO/Holger. They will be travelling around
and will be in Gibraltar between July 9th (late evening) and 12th (early
morning). They plan to be active at all times. The operators will sign
using ZB2/homecall. QSL will be via their homecall. They prefer bureau
cards or better no cards, and only an E-mail request for bureau cards.
Their E-mail addresses are as follows:
DL7IO -- dl7io@qsl.net
DL7IQ -- dl7iq@qsl.net
DJ7TO -- olaf@taesch.de
ZS5, SOUTH AFRICA
Gary/ZS5NK and Edwin/ZS5BBO will once again be in the
HF World Championships. They will be operating with the callsign ZS5NK,
last year they operated as ZS5T. They are asking all stations to point
their antennas to Africa to work them. They really want to put on a big
show this year. They will be using one of the following: TS870, TS940
or FT1000MP on a stacked array of TH6's (6 over 6). The linear is a TL922.
They will have a 6 element mono on 10m and various dipoles on 160m, 80m
and 40m. Edwin states, "We also wish all operators the best of luck for
the contest and hope the propagation gods will be on our side!!!"

Subject: XW1IC summary (Time on 53hr)
Sabaydee (Hello) All,
I and Son HS6NDK arrived to Bangkok at 0630TST. Everything is OK and safe. Hiroo XW0X met me at the River View Hotel in the morning on June 30, 2002, when we back from Larry's house. Hiroo took about questions on the e-mail, but now he understood about aim XW1HS and Thai Hams. He told me about Lao licensed and his ham's life.I think everything will be good way.
Anyway I have a good time in Laos and I have chance to go to Vong Veian, Northern Vientiane about 170 Km (4 hr by bus) with Lao's friendsssss. I like a way of life of Lao's people. It's mean classic. hi hi
