3Y_bou - Chuck, 3Y0C is struggling against storms blowing down his antennas.
Due to an oil leak, the generator can be operated only for 45
minutes a day and this situation will not change for the next two
months. Chuck is aware of the need for Bouvet and is trying to work
as many stations as possible during the limited spare time he has -
from time to time he works just a handful of stations before going
QRT due to his other duties. QSL via WA4FFW (Mark McIntyre, 2903
Maple Ave., Burlington, NC 27215, USA), but note that logs will not
be available before Chuck returns home. Latest news from Bouvet can
be found at http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/3y0.htm
C6 - Lee, N7NU will operate (mostly CW on 10-80 metres) as either
N7NU/C6A and/or C6AJX from Abaco Island (NA-080), Bahamas on 18-26
January. QSL via N7NU. [TNX The Daily DX]
D6 - While waiting for D68C, do not forget to work Josep, EA3BT/D68BT and
Nuria, EA3WL/D68WL, who will be active with two stations from the
Comoros (AF-007) from 13 to 28 January [425DXN 499]. Look for Josep
and Nuria on SSB (28495, 24945, 21295/21195, 18145, 14195, 7052,
3795 and 50110 kHz), CW (14025 and 10103 kHz) and RTTY (21083 and
14083 kHz). The pilots will be Pere Galimany, EA3AJI
(pilot_d68@ea3aji.com, for Europe and Central/South America); Bill
Avery, K6GNX (k6gnx@telemetry.com, for North America); Yuki Deguchi,
JI6KVR (ji6kvr@orange.ocn.ne.jp, for Japan, Asia and Oceania).
Up-to-date information, pictures, daily logs etc. will be available
at http://www.qsl.net/ea3bt. QSL for both via EA3BT either direct or
through the bureau. [TNX EA3BT]
FO - Kunio, JA8VE will be active (on 10-20 metres SSB) as FO0KUN from
Bora Bora (OC-067), French Polynesia on 16-18 January and from
Tahiti (OC-046), French Polynesia on 19-21 January. QSL via JA8VE
either direct (Kunio Saito, 2-26-5-554 Nishitsuruma, Yamato,
242-0005, Japan) or through the JARL bureau. [TNX The Daily DX]
PY - Simone/IV3NVN, Ana Claudia/PP5TO, Barboza/PP5VB and PP5UU were
expected to operate from Santana de Fora (SA-088) but rough sea
prevented them from landing. A new attempt will take place as soon
as the weather improves from either Santana de Fora (as ZX5T) or
Araras, one of the other islands qualifying for SA-088. Plans are to
be active for a couple of days on 10, 15 and 20 metres SSB and CW.
ZX5T has been issued for Gipoia (SA-029) and Santana de Fora only,
so if they operate from Araras they will sign PP5TO. QSL ZX5T and
PP5TO via IV3NVN. [TNX IN3NVN]
PY - Look for ZV3F and ZW3F to operate (SSB and CW) from Fort Dom Pedro
II (DFH RS-03) on 20-21 January. QSL via PY3UR. [TNX PP5SZ]
UU - Operators from club station UU4JXM will be active from Kosa Tuzla
Island (EU-180) in late January, including en entry in the CQ WW 160
CW DX Contest (27-28 Janury) as UU7J/P. Andy, UU6JM will arrive on
23 January and will operate as UU4JXM/P on 20-160 metres CW and SSB
mostly during his evenings. On 26 January he will be joined by
UU0JM, UU4JMG, UU8JK and possibly maybe UU2JQ. QSL via UU8JK (Alex
Kotovskij, P.O. Box 57, 98312 Kerch, Ukraine). [TNX UU6JM]
V3 - Klaus, DJ4SO will be active as V31SN from Belize between 17 January
and 12 February. He will operate on all HF bands (with an emphasis
on 6, 12, 17 and 30 metres) CW, RTTY and PSK31 with some SSB. QSL
via DJ4SO either direct or through the bureau. [TNX The Daily DX]
V7 - Jeff, KA1GJ will be active (mostly on CW) during his spare time as
V73GJ from the Marshall Islands on 16-26 January. QSL via KA1GJ.

Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
30 METRES ---> Jose Jacob, VU2JOS reports that the special temporary
authorization for VU amateurs to operate on 30 metres expires at 18.30 UTC on
31 January 2001.
D68C ---> A series of 15 trophies will be available to stations throughout
the world, to UK stations and to UK clubs for working the forthcoming D68C
DXpedition to the Comoros [425DXN 501]. For full details please visit the
DXpedition's most comprehensive web site at http://www.dxbands.com/comoros.
The DXpedition is confirmed to take place from about 8 to 18 February.
OEVSV ---> Karl Bugner, OE1BKW (OeVSV QSL Service Manager) reports that
effective 1 January 2001 the Austrian Amateur Radio Society (OeVSV) moved to
the following new address: OeVSV - Dachverband, Eisvogelgasse 4/1, A 1060
Wien, Austria.
QSL A61AJ ---> Bernie, W3UR reports he is currently waiting for Ali, A61AJ to
order new photo QSL cards. All direct (3098) and bureau (13109) requests have
been entered into the computer logs and when Bernie receive the cards from
the printer they will be quickly sent out. Please be patient and do not send
second requests.
QSL 4W/K7BV & 4W/N6FF ---> Steve, KU9C reports that the QSL cards for this
operation are expected to be in his hands by 1 February and will begin
hitting the mail box immediately. He expects to have most of them out within
a few weeks, and all received by the end of February should be in the mail by
1 March. If you did not send enough return postage due to the recent US
postage rate change, do not worry, as Steve himself will put the required
stamps on the envelope.
QSL 5N6ZHM ---> Paul, W5TUD reports he has received some 200 bureau cards for
contacts made in 1999, but he has not got any log from 5N6ZHM for years and
cannot get in touch with him.
QSL FO0WEG & FO0POM ---> The QSL cards for the October/November 2000 FO0WEG
(Australs) and FO0POM (Marquesas) activities are being printed. The QSL
manager for both is SP9FIH (Janusz Wegrzyn, Box 480, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland).
QSL VP8CQR ---> Cards and logs for the 1996-1998 VP8CQR operations are now
available and QSLs should be sent (direct only) to SP2JKC (Krzysztof
Maciejkiewicz, P.O. Box 30, 80-958 Gdansk 50, Poland). [TNX The Daily DX]
QSL ZL2VS ---> The following comes from Dusty, ZL2VS: "As from 1 January 2001
I am no longer a member of NZART; I will still receive bureau cards but
outgoing will be quite slow as I will clear my cards every 3-6 months
depending on the volume. I will answer direct cards as usual by return post,
1 IRC or 1 Green stamp is still sufficient for return postage from here. I
also still have logs/cards from my ZM7VS Chatham Islands operation in January
1990 if anyone still needs one."
VP8SSI ---> "I have held this callsign since it was issued to The South
Sandwich Island DX Group in 1988", Tony, WA4JQS reports. This call has been
aired recently and Tony has already received QSLs for this operation, which
is most likely a pirate.
WF5E DX QSL SERVICE ---> "It has been brought to my attention that 3B9R [see
425DXN 504] has a new manager (K7ZD) and there is no problem with him to use
my service", Les, WF5E reports. For further information on the WF5E DX QSL
Service please visit http://www.qsl.net/wf5e/
