by LA5IIA, JR3EDE and JJ2RCJ. QSL via HB9BOU, direct (Herbert Aeby, Rte du
Moulin 1, CH 1782 Belfaux, Switzerland) or bureau.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Wayne, W4MPY is not the QSL manager for any station. He
gets a number of cards each bureau mailing for stations he has simply
*printed* QSL cards for (apparently the confusion comes from the rpinetr's
credit, "QSLman - W4MPY"). "In the past, I have forwarded them at my expense
to the customers", he says, "but will no longer be doing that". [TNX W4MPY]
PSK63 QSO PARTY ---> The EPC PSK63 QSO Party, sponsored by the European PSK
Club [425DXN 789], will be held on 19 November (24 hours). Full information
can be found at http://www.eu.srars.org
QSL 3Y0X ---> All direct cards for 3Y0X, XR9A and CE0Z received through 16
September have been processed and mailed (52,342 QSOs for all three calls
totalled together). Further information can be found at
http://www.peterone.com/qsl.htm
QSL R1MVI ---> Roman, RX3RC is the new QSL manager for the 10-12 September
2004 R1MVI operation. QSL direct (Roman A. Novikov, P.O. Box 21, 392000
Tambov, Russia) or bureau. [TNX RX3RC]
QSL WRTC 2006 ---> The QSL cards for the WRTC 2006 stations are printed and
ready to be mailed. The QSL manager is PP5VB, direct (Vantuil Barbosa Dias,
P.O. Box 13, Imbituba, SC 88780-000, Brazil) or bureau. [TNX PY5EG]
QSL YX0A & YX0LIX ---> Steve, KU9C reports he has printed most of the labels,
but is still waiting for the cards to arrive from the printer. He has still
to do a number of log searches for the gaps in the logs, and as soon as the
DX team provides them he will start that process. Please be patient, as "the
situation is a bit out of my control", he says.
YX5IOTA ---> Lighthouse chasers please note that the 26 September-1 October
YX5IOTA operation from La Tortuga (SA-044) [425DXN 798] will also count for
Cayo Harradure lighthouse (ARLHS VEN-007). QSL via IT9DAA. [TNX IT9DAA]
