4K5ZI -> Ed, NT2X, has explained the activities from Snake Island (4K5ZI and
EK5ZI). Both operations were regularly authorized (Snake was and probably is
still a military island) and prefixes used were Russian (as the island was
under the control of Moscow) and not Ucranians. Unfortunately the expedition
organisation was not able to obtain the necessary documentations for ARRL,
then both activities are not valid for DXCC.
DL8AAM -> Tom, DL8AAM, reports that he finally has received the QSL for the
RW3TT/0 activity from Sredniy Island (AS-042) in April 94. He already answe-
red to direct requests. Tom is working now on bureau requests. We remember
his new address: Thomas M. Roesner, DL8AAM, Woerthstr. 17, D-37085 Goettin-
gen, Germany.
HF0POL -> Rys, SP5EWY, reports that HF0POL is a club station, then QSL must
be asked to different managers, depending on the operator that made the con-
tacts. Between 1990 and 1992 the operators were SP5FLC (until 24 December
1990, QSL via homecall), SP3FYM (from 25 December 1990 to 24 December 1991,
QSL via homecall), SP9DWT (from 25 December 1991 to the end of 1992, QSL via
homecall). If you still need a QSL try to send it to Rys, and he will make
his best to have a confirmation.
VE3VGI -> QSL for John, VE3VGI, activities from Scugog Island (ON-020) and
Amherst Island (ON-021) and Wapoos Island (ON-143), valid for Canadian Is-
lands Awards can be requested to the following address: John Harden, VE3VGI,
1284 Eldorado Avenue, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada LIK-1G3. This address is also
valid to request VE8RAC QSL.
9Q2L & 9X5EE -> It seems there is a little confusion about the address for
9Q2L and 9X5EE operations. The correct address are:
9X5EE via PA3DLM, 9Q2L via PA3DMH,
Tiny Mahoney, Alex van Hengel,
J. Haydnstraat 17, Shoener 85,
NL-4536BT Terneuzen, NL-2991JK Barendrecht,
The Netherlands. The Netherlands.
9Q2L QSL will be available from July.

lowing stations: LR0A, LQ0A, LV0A, LT0A, LQ5C and LR1C. His address is:
