* PLEASE NOTE: The report "could" contain
"Pirate/SLIM" operations or more likely a "BUSTED
CALLSIGN". As always, you never know - "Work First
Worry Later" (WFWL).
3B8, MAURITIUS. Jun, OE1ZKC/JH4RHF, will be
on the air from 3B8-land on his way to/back from the 3B9C
DXpedition, March 14-16th and April 1-3th. His callsign will be
decided upon arrival. He will operate from 3B8CF's shack. Jun
will probably be on 40-10 meters, SSB, CW, RTTY and SSTV on
request. QSL via OE1ZKC.
3B9C UPDATE. Project Star Reach (3B9C) has
released "Bulletin No.4" this past week and it can be
found on their Web page. Excerpts from the bulletin state
"Remember, 3B9C is expected to hit the bands around midnight
local (2000 GMT) on Friday 19th March, so not long to go now. The
container of equipment has arrived on the island, and a final
planning meeting has been held in the UK, attended by 17 of the
team members. We are also delighted to announce that Robert,
3B9FR, will join the team as a full member, taking time off work
to be a part of 3B9C (he runs the island's radio station). This
will probably be the last bulletin before we head out to 3B9, but
we will continue to post bulletins from the island, both on our
Web page and to the major newsletters." A QSL route has been
annouced. The bulletin states, "Arrangements are now in
place for QSLing. This is a non-trivial task, with possibly in
excess of 100,000 QSL requests to be handled in due course. The
QSLing task will therefore be shared by a team of volunteers,
centrally co-ordinated through StarQSL, a piece of software
developed especially by John, G3WGV, for the purpose. Among other
things, StarQSL allows bureau and Web requests to be handled
(checked, validated) by any volunteer with Internet access, but
with an option for QSL labels to be printed at a central point
for handing in to the bureau. Direct cards should be sent to
FSDXA, PO Box 73, Church Stretton, SY6 6WF, UK. Bureau cards go
via the RSGB bureau. There is also a form on the Web page for
requesting bureau cards." Another topic in the bulletin
deals with an upcoming 3B9C video (with a D68C video added free
to the purchase), as well as the status of AO-40, EME, 6m and
RTTY contacts, plus a few words on their contest efforts and
trophies. For complete details, go to the Web page at: http://www.fsdxa.com/3b9c/bulletin-4.html.
5V7, TOGO. The 5V7C team is now active as of
late Friday. Activity should last until March 13th. The complete
list of pilot stations were announced this past week. They are:
Bruno/F5AGB (for the Europe and French speaking countries),
Floyd/N5FG (NA - SA and Central), Mike/UA0MF (AS), Toshi/JA1ELY
(JA) and Lee/ZL2AL (VK). QSL via F5TVG: Franck Savoldi, P.O. Box
92, 94223 Charenton Cedex, France. For more information, visit
their Web page at: http://5v7c.free.fr/defaulteng.htm. Don't
forget to read the band and mode plans and the forecast
propagation at: http://5v7c.free.fr/Infopropag.htm.
9Q, DEM. REP. OF CONGO. After a few problems
in the start, Gus, SM5DIC, is now active as 9Q0AR until about
March 20th. He was heard this past week on 20/17/15/10 meters.
Modes vary from CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK31. Gus's QSL Manager Leif,
SM5BFJ, told OPDX this week that Gus is active from the Radio
Club in Kinshasa. Leif would also like OPDX to remind everyone
when sending a QSL request to him, please include 2 USD or 1 IRC
(this is because of the high Swedish postage cost) for the return
postage.
A5, BHUTAN (Also 9N). Jim Wise, W4PRO, leaves
for Bhutan on March 19th. He will be on the air around March 22nd
or 23rd as A52PRO. Jim will operate until April 3rd from Thimphu,
Bhutan, and then will travel to Tibet where he will not operate.
However, he will be in Khatmandu, Nepal, from April 10-13th where
he has asked for the 9N7PRO callsign.
BOOK REVIEW (by Tedd, KB8NW): Reading
"THE COMPLETE DX'ER" (3rd Edition), I would have to say
that this is the "Complete Package" for a new DXer, as
well as for an older DXer (to polish up their DXing skills).
Author Bob Locher, W9KNI, has put together a text book diary (an
Elmer in a book) on how to achieve good DXing skills and what is
needed to work DX. Individuals who bought Bob's 1st and 2nd
Editions (published 1983 and 1989) may want to add this updated
3rd Edition. Bob was inspired to come out with a 3rd Edition due
to the major changes in DXing (InterNet, PacketCluster, etc..),
and his new found interest in QRP operations (after building an
Elecraft K2 QRP transceiver). The book deals with "How to
Listen" (going through the bands or listening to pile-ups),
"What is Needed" (or not needed -- the bare
essentials), QSLing, and "What Equipment and Accessories are
Needed" to get the job done. These are just a few items in
the book. Early in the book, Bob brings out the importance of
good listening skills. Probably a skill many newer DXers do not
have or older DXers lost with the age of the DXClusters. This 223
page book is worth reading and have in a DXer's library. The book
lists for 19.95 USD (plus shipping). For more reviews and details
on purchasing the book, go to the Web page at: http://idiompress.com/books-complete-dxer.html.
C56, THE GAMBIA (Update to OPDX.658). Jan,
PA9JJ, will be active as C56JJ from Banjul, March 29th to April
5th. Remember that most of his activity will be on 80/40 meters
and the WARC bands SSB. However, he may be on some other bands
and do some CW. There will be an online log after his return on
his home page at: http://www.qsl.net/pa9jj.
CT HISTORICAL COLLECTION (Help Needed).
Carlos Nora, CT1END, reports that he is involved in an
organization in Portugal which is devoted to documenting and
preserving the history of Amateur Radio in Portugal from the
early days to the present. If you have Portuguese QSL cards prior
to 1960, Portuguese QSL cards from DXpeditions or Portugueses DX
Magazines and other special events, they would appreciate
receiving them as a donation to their collection, or as an
alternative, send a digital image of QSL card. The Web page of
the "Historical Archive of the Portuguese Amateur
Radio" can be viewed at: http://ahrap.sytes.net. If you can help them,
please respond by E-mail (ahrap@cbnora.no-ip.com)
or by mail to the address at: Carlos Nora, CT1END, Praceta D.

this past week that as of March 5th, all the QSLs from
the USA/VE for the 2003 and past V26B operations have
been answered and are in the mail. He is still working on
the DX requests. If you are in the USA or Canada and are
awaiting a QSL from V26B, and you do not receive it
within the next 2-3 weeks (Depending on the USPS!!!),
please drop Mike another request with an SAE and return
postage for your request. Please be advised that QSLs are
not required. Please put your QSO info on a piece of
paper. Mike states, "That will work for us!" He
also states, "Sorry for the Inconvience of past
QSLing practices. We seem to have our act together
now."
QSL MANAGER Nenad, VE3EXY, reports that
the QSLs for VK1AA/2, VK1AA/4 and VK9LX/9 are still not
printed. DO NOT SEND A SECOND REQUEST. He also mentions,
"I am still receiving lots of requests with
insufficient funds. One U.S. dollar is not enough for an
overseas letter from Canada, especially when you send
several QSL cards. All those requests are processed
IMMEDIATELY, but will be sent via the BUREAU."
NOT THE QSL MANAGER. Jim, WB4UBD, is NOT
the QSL Manager for VK0IR. He was only assisting W4FRU,
the QSL Manager at that time. He has no logs and no
cards. The QSL Manager for the 1997 VK0IR operation is
N2OO.
Rusty, W6OAT, announced this past week
that he will be handling the QSLs for Jerry, YI9MD. Cards
are "OK" either direct (Rusty Epps W6OAT, 651
Handley Trail, Redwood City, CA 94062, USA) or via the
bureau. Wayne, W4MPY, is donating the cards for Jerry
(K6MD at home), and they are still working with Jerry to
get the exact wording he wants printed on them. Rusty
states that it will be a few weeks before he actually
receives any QSLs from Wayne, so please be patient with
them as they may be a bit slow in the beginning.
Dave, W2GI, reports that the YI9ZF logs
have been updated through February 27th at: http://dx.qsl.net/logs/.
QSL MANAGER ZS6EZ. Excerpts from an
E-mail received from Chris Burger, ZS6EZ, states that his
QSLing policy is published at: http://zs6ez.za.org/qsl-pol.htm.
Chris states, "I pre-emptively QSL every QSO through
the bureau, and respond to all direct requests
received..... I am not in a position to collect
registered mail from the post office, which would involve
a two-hour drive in office hours. There is not a
significant mail loss problem, so registered mail is
completely unnecessary.... Although, I am now somewhat
behind with QSLing after a computer theft, I routinely
respond to all requests. I always have, and I always
will. The ZD9IR logs are also in the Logbook of the
World, allowing anyone to claim DXCC credit as
required."
SPECIAL EVENT. Lee/K1NT and Marvin/AG5I will
be operating special event stations K5O and K5K mobile during
Oklahoma's QSO Party, "Just for the fun of it", March
13th and 14th. A special QSL card will be available for working
either station. A certificate for 1 USD is available for working
both stations. QSL via KW5DX.
SKP 2004. Danny, WP4F, informed OPDX and its
readers that this year there will be several activities in Puerto
Rico. One event will be in April where they will celebrate the
First Puerto Rico Straight Key Party. The party will start the
second Sunday of April (April 11th) between 1800z to 0200z
(Monday). The 8 hour party will be CW only. Station KP4ES will be
on the air as the "Official Party Station: from the Puerto
Rico Amateur Radio League". Look for KP4ES to operate on the

7130, 3530 and 3705 kHz. Stations located in Puerto Rico
archipelago will be signing /SKP. There are no band and/or
frequency restrictions. Any amateur radio frequency may be used
for a valid contact (Suggested frequencies: 30khz above the CW
lower sub-band limit). For more complete details, please visit
the following Web page at: http://www.prarl.org/skeyparty2004.htm.
VP2M, MONTSERRAT. Keith, VP2MEG, wrote to
OPDX last week wondering why "VP2M" was not listed in
the "DXCC COUNTRY/ENTITY REPORT" for the week of
February 22-29th, stating "VP2M" is active. Believe it
or not, there were NO cluster reports for "VP2M" for
that week. Information is taken from the world-wide AB5K AR
TelNet Clusters Network. Goes to show NOT all stations are
reported. Keith, VP2MEG, did mention to OPDX that a new batch of
hams (locals) are operating from the island, and they are
training some more. Come guys/gals, let's see some VP2M QSNs
reported (ed. As this was being written - still NO cluster QSNs
for VP2M!!).
XE, MEXICO. Bela, N8SHZ, was expected to
leave for Mexico on the 5th of March to return about the 28th of

YA, AFGHANISTAN. Masa, JG1OWV, informs OPDX
that Afghanistan hams are now planning to operate club station
YA0J for the upcoming CQ WPX SSB Contest (March 27-28th). Their
activity will be limited, and they will try to be on as much as
possible within their work schedules. This will be the first
Multi-Operator entry from that country.
YV4, VENEZUELA. Dario, YV4GMG, in Santa Cruz,
informs OPDX that he is active on 20/15/10 meters. Also, active
from the same station is Hector/YV4GMH and Maria/YV4GMB. All
three operators have been found recently on PSK31. QSL via their
