that Thursday 13 July Yannick F5IEN is silent key after a long illness.
Yannick was only 21 but he joined the DX world with some good expeditions.
QSL received -> CY9C, IR1ANT, P4/WA2NHA, VP2VE, VQ9TP, XX9TYD, 3V8BB,
4J0/IK2NHX, 5B4/DL1DSN, 5H1CK/A (AF-075), 5H3CK (AF-054), 5H3CK/A (AF-074),

NEW IOTA REFERENCES NUMBERS ISSUED
The following new IOTA References Numbers have been issued for June opera-
tions:
NA-205 VO2 NEWFOUNDLAND PROVINCE (LABRADOR) CENTRE group (Canadian
Islands, lettera "c"), issued for the NU2L/VO2 activity from Annio-
waktook Island.
OC-207 DU1 CAGAYAN IS (Philippines, lettera "b"), issued for the 4H1TR
activity from Tubbataha Reef.
The IOTA Commitee is still waiting for the DS0DX/2 documentation, from Paen-
gnyong group, which is stil without reference number.
V IOTA Convention -> The inclusion, in the programme of the HF-DX & IOTA
Convention (Bologna, 13-15 October 1995) of a "preliminary check of IOTA
QSLs" seems to have given rise to a misunderstanding which in its turn might
raise partially unjustified expectations. It is therefore necessary to state
that there will be no proper "IOTA desk" for the checking and crediting
of confirmed contacts. More simply, it will be a guidance service for those
who are uncertain about their participation in the Programme, about the
validity of possible "doubtful"cards, about the procedures to follow and
so on. The actual checking and crediting of QSLs are much more engaging,
they demands a lot of time and often rrequire resort to supporting
reference material (atlases, maps etc.) which are not available at a Con-
vention: therefore the actual checking process shall as always take place at
the various checkpoints, as specified in the IOTA rules.
