GOOD TO KNOW - Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
CY9RF ---> Original plans were for a
major operation, with a team including W6RGG, W6BSY,
K4LT, AC8W, K8DD and K8RF who were to participate in the
WPX CW as a Multi-Multi entry [425DXN 419]. Some
transportation problems in getting the original complete
six-station setup to the operating location caused four
team members to give up, and Dan, K8RF and Doug, K4LT
ended up going by themselves. They made 1500-2000 QSOs
before and after the contest, in which they participated
as a Multi-Single (4840 QSOs). A constant S9+20DB noise
from the generator prevented Dan from operating on his
favourite band (160 metres). QSL via K8RF (Dan Flaig,
2101 Ronaldson Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio 45230-1510, USA).
[TNX K8RF]
QSL 2S0PNS ---> Please note that
cards should be sent to Jeff, G3LWM (not LWN as reported
in 425DXN 421).
QSL JT1Y ---> Nicola Sanna, I0SNY
reports he has started replying to requests received for
the April 1999 JT1Y operation (24320 QSOs).
QSL OD5SB ---> PA3FWP reports he is
returning to Italy. Therefore all QSL traffic for OD5SB
must be routed from now on via his Italian callsign,
I0WTD. QSL sent via bureau shall be received anyhow, but
direct cards may have problems if sent after June 1999.
[TNX I0WTD/PA3FWP]
QSL V63KU ---> As Sam, V63KU will go
QRT from Truk at the end of June, his P. O. Box in V63
will be closed. Please ask for your QSL via JA6NL through
the Japanese bureau. [TNX IZ0AEH]
QSL VIA NU4N ---> Dave, NU4N is the
new QSL manager for Chris, WL7KY and Mats, LU9AY. He
reports all cards for WL7KY have been sent out; he is
still waiting for the LU9AY, CP6/LU9AY and L29AY cards
from the printer, but they are expected to arrive within
1-2 weeks. QSL to David W. Tucker, 1500 Massac Church
Road, Paducah, Kentucky 42001, USA. [TNX NU4N]
QSL VIA VE1AL ---> Alan Leith, VE1AL
says that "For many reasons, I have decided to no
longer use the QSL Bureau system to receive and
distribute QSLs for either my own VE1AL contacts or those
of stations for which I am the QSL Manager. I will be
pleased to respond to ANY QSL request sent to me
directly, with proper return postage". Alan is the
QSL manager for CF1AL, CG1AL, CG1B, CJ1AL, CK1AL, CY9DXX
