GOOD TO KNOW - Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
DANISH DX GROUP ---> The annual DX
meeting of the Danish DX Group will take place near the

by SM6CAS and OH2BH. For further information please
contact Allis, OZ1ACB at oz1acb@get2net.dk.
(phone +45 44 85 25 30) [TNX OZ1LO]
HM0DX ---> Kim has been signing HM0DX
for a few days in a row and Bernie McClenny, W3UR, Editor
of The Daily DX, has asked Martti Laine, OH2BH (P5/OH2AM
& P51BH) to express his opinion on this activity:
"Chongjin, which is his P.O. Box city, is indeed a
real city on the Northern side where South Korean's can
access as a group of 'seriously guided' tourists",
Martti says. "Every step is highly monitored and it
would be the greatest breakthrough for South Korea to be
able to take a radio in at this time. Furthermore, if it
is a South Korean Mr. Kim, why would he have QSL address
in the North? Also, the North Korean postal
infrastructure does not yet have P.O. Boxes." It
should be added that both South Korean and Japanese
amateurs indicate a wrong beam heading.
MORSE CONTEST ---> The annual CW
contest celebrating the birth of Samuel Morse will take
place on 27 April from (00.00-12.00 UTC). For further
information please contact the Morse Club UCWC at morse@ok.net.ua. [TNX

NOT THE MANAGER ---> Paul, F8PX is
not the QSL manager for TK6PX. HB9DNE is not the QSL

QSL 3W7CW ---> Tom, 3W7CW/SP5AUC
reports there are problems with his address in Poland
(Box 11, 02 800 Warsaw), as letters are being returned to
sender. He cannot sort the problem out while in Vietnam
and since he will not visit Poland until June at the
earliest, he requests amateurs to refrain from sending
cards until further notice. [TNX SP5EWY]
QSL 4L1UN ---> IK7JTF (rborace@libero.it)
reports he has been the QSL manager for Amiran since 1996
(which means do not QSL to RW6HS any longer). Others

March 1998 and 31 January 2000 (some 24,000 QSOs). Cards
should be sent to JA9BOH either direct or through the

Shinke-cho, Sakai City, Osaka 599-8232, Japan) who will
not be able to confirm any contact until after his return
home in March 2001. [TNX The Daily DX]

Russian island chasers that they can send their direct
requests for AF-084 to him: P.O. Box 7, Volzhsk-8,
Mariy-El 425008, Russia.
QSL 9V1AG ---> David, 9V1RH reports
the address for 9V1AG given in 425DXN #466 is no longer
valid as Robert left Singapore to return to England over
a year ago.
QSL D3SAF ---> Enrico, I3LLH reports
he has eventually received ("not without
difficulties") the logs for Gabriele, D3SAF through
10 March 2000. All requests received will be processed,
but please be patient as Enrico says his spare time is
limited. [TNX IK3TPP]
QSL SY1D ---> Father Apollo, SV2ASP/A
is receiving cards for this call, which was aired from
Athens, Greece and not Mouth Athos. Please note that
Father Apollo will be operating as SY2A in

UA4SKW]
VK9RS VIDEO ---> Mal, VK6LC reports
the video [425DXN 465] has been reduced to 1 hour because
of finacial restrictions. The cost for VHS PAL and NTSC
is US$ 20 airmailed from Perth (other versions such as
SECAM can be done but at extra costs). Mal has only a few
weeks left before he returns to Vietnam until October, so
he wants to get as many out of the way in the next 3-4
weeks. For further information please contact Malcolm K.
Johnson, 9 Abinger Road, Lynwood 6147, Western Australia,
Australia (e-mail vk6lc@iinet.net.au).
