3V8BB -> JF2EZA (QSL manager of 3V8BB) reports that logs from 14 January to
29 April 1995 activities have been lost due to postal problems,
therefore he cannot confirm all those contacts.
GERMAN ISLANDS AWARD -> The G.I.A. (Deutsches Insel Diplom) Award Manager is
DL2MX (ex DL2RMX), Peter Seifert, P.O.Box 1124, D-16535 Hohen Neuendorf,
Germany: you can write him to ask for questions, information or credits.
DX IN VHF? METEOR SCATTER! -> Next week the most important meteors swarm
will cross the Earth's orbit giving to lovers of VHF DX (and above) the op-
portunty to make contacts in SSB, in fast CW (about 200 WPM) and recently,
in PACKET also on distances between 800 and 2000 Kilometers. The maximum of
the activity is planned betwee 12 and 13 August. For 144 Mhz a simple beam
with at least 10-13 elements and at least 25 watts power output are enough.
