INTERNATIONAL CONTEST/DX MEETING ---> The 6th annual International Contest
/DX Meeting, organized by Contest Club Finland (CCF), will take place in
Helsinki, Finland on 21-22 January 2000. For further information visit
http://www.contesting.com/ccf or contact Pasi, OH2IW at OH2IW@sral.fi
QSL 9U5D ---> The following comes from the QSL manager, SM0BFJ (Leif
Hammarstrom, Birger Jarlsgatan 38, SE-114 29 Stockholm, Sweden): "Those who
request QSL from 9U5D and enclosing IRC must be aware of that the cupon must
be postmarked at their post office otherwise it is not valid in Swedish post
office."
QSL VIA I5JHW ---> Giovanni, I5JHW reports ALL of the cards for his past
operations from Tunisia (some 24,000 QSLs) have been sent out either direct
or through the bureau. He was active on 28/04-04/05/97 (3V8BB and TS8ZA

during other activities, as your card will be trashed.
NOT NA-076! ---> Luis Chartarifsky, XE1L reports with apologies that the W4T
operation during the 1999 IOTA Contest took place from Treasure Island, FL
located at 27.52N. This means the island counts for IOTA group NA-034, and
not for NA-076 as announced on the air and printed on the QSL card.
THAILAND (LOW BANDS AND WARC) ---> The following comes from Ray Gerrard,
HS0/G3NOM: "Many queries are being received by Thai stations regarding 160/80
metres and WARC band operation. The authorities in Thailand have not yet
completed implemention of the WARC band agreements on 10, 18, and 24 MHz
bands. Normally the 160/80 metre bands are not permitted for use by Thailand
stations either. However the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand (RAST)
obtained special permission to use 80/160 metres for any contest during 1999.
The frequencies allocated are really only suitable for CW contests but can be
used for SSB. The frequency slots are: 3524-3526, 3534-3536 and 1824-1826
KHz".
+ SILENT KEY + The ARRL reports the passing of Frederick O. Hammond, VE3HC on
7 November at 86 years of age. An amateur for more than 70 years, he was

collection of vintage amateur equipment was reorganized and reopened to the

and future generations. The Kitchener-Waterloo Amateur Radio Club has posted
additional information about Hammond at http://www.kwarc.org/fred/ [TNX ARRL
