>>> Carlos Luis Caceres, KD4SYB, SK <<<
Gregorio Caceres (KA4UXJ) reports his 33-year old son Carlos Luis, KD4SYB (as
well as Pero Simundza, 9A4SP, see 425DXN 488) was one of the three UNHCR
(United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) staff members who were
murdered in Atambua, West Timor during a militia assault on 6 September. In
his last dramatic e-mail (TNX ON6TT) Carlos wrote: "The militias are on the
way, and I am sure they will do their best to demolish this office. [...] We
are waiting for this enemy, we sit here like bait, unarmed, waiting for wave
to hit. I am glad to be leaving this island for three weeks. I just hope I
will be able to leave tomorrow." Please visit and sign the Memorial Guestbook
for Carlos at http://www.qsl.net/kd4syb
3B6 - The preparations for the 3B6RF DXpedition to Agalega [425DXN 481]
are in their final stages. HB9JAX and HB9FMU have been forced to
cancel the trip, but four other operators (namely 9A4DU, CT1AGF,
G4EDG and DL6UAA) have joined the team. The aim of the expedition is
not to make as many QSOs, but to work as many different calls as
possible. "Since Europe and Japan are simple to work", HB9FMU
reports, "we will give priority to North and South America during
the openings to these parts of the world. In addition to that we
would also like to focus on the West Coast". This will be an
all-band all-mode (CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK 31, 6 metres, Satellite)
operation: for further details on operating plans, propagation
charts, announced frequencies etc please visit www.agalega2000.ch
(where on-line logs will be available as well). The pilots will be
HB9HFN, Cedric (cedric@baechler.cx) for Europe, NF6S, Larry
(larry@home.com) for USA, JA3LDH, Yasu (ja3ldh@tcct.zaq.ne.jp) for
Japan and PT7BI, Daniel (mdmassun@fortalnet.com.br) for Brazil,
while Kurt, HB9MX will be the pilot coordinator. QSL via HB9AGH
either direct (Ambrosi Fluetsch, Lerchenweg 29, CH 8046 Zurich,

disappointments: 3B6 will NOT count as a new DXCC Entity! [TNX

Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
A51AA ---> The following comes from The Daily DX: "The French A52FH team from
the Clipperton DX Club installed the radios and antennas for the first
Bhutanese Radio Amateur Club station, A51AA, which came on the air for the
first time September 12th. It is the goal to make A51AA a full-fledged club
station, which will encourage young Bhutanese people to become familiar with
electronics, telecommunications and ham radio. This station will also act as
an operation site for guest operators coming in from abroad (see
http://www.sophun.com.bt for more information). QSLs go via F2VX until a more
permanent QSL management arrangement can be made."
CRIMEA AWARD ---> It is for contacting amateur radio operators from Crimea
(UU, UT#J, EM#J, EN#J, EO#J) and it is open to either licenced amateurs and
SWLs. QSL cards are not required. The certificate can be seen at
http://www.omnitel.net/ly1ds/crimea.jpg; for full information please contact
Rusty, UU2JQ at uu2jq@packet.crimea.ua
QSL 3W7CW ---> Cards are expected to be ready on 7 October. Then Adam, SP5JTF
will begin immediately to send cards out (some 1000 envelopes received so
far). [TNX SP5EWY]
QSL VIA VK9NS ---> It has been said and repeated for years, but still there
are too many people who seem not to understand that Jim DOES NOT ACCEPT
BUREAU CARDS. In other words, do not use the bureau system for QSLling VK9NS
or any of the calls he manages, because (1) not only you will never receive a
reply from Jim, but also (2) you are causing problems to the VK9 Bureau
Manager (currently Neil, VK6NE). Cards for VK9NS must be sent DIRECT ONLY
with SASE and return postage to P.O. Box 90, Norfolk Island, NI 2899,
Australia.
QSL YB0RP ---> Gene, W2FXA is the QSL manager for Rep, YB0RP and reports he
can confirm contacts made up to 2 september 2000.
