We apologize for the delay of the English version of issues nos. 231 and 232

particularly  Maurizio (I1-21171), who regularly attends to the translation,
were partecipating in the HF-DX & IOTA Convention. A vote of warm and heart-
felt thanks to all the friends attending the Convention - their presence has
contributed a lot to the success of the event!

QSLs. This is a great pleasure for us and we should thank  them for the sup-
port that promote this Italian DX Bulletin.

JARTS RTTY CONTEST ---> The 21-22 October is planned the  JARTS WW RTTY CON-
TEST. The contest starts at  00.00 UTC of Saturday and ends at  24.00 UTC of
Sunday. Activities on five bands from 10 to 80 meters  (RTTY portions in Ja-
pan on  40 and  80 meters are respectively 7025-7040 KHz and 3520-3525 KHz).
Exchange + the operator's age (00 for YL and 99 for multi-operators).
 
HEARD ISLAND T-SHIRTS ---> Peter, ON6TT, reports that the Heard Island DXpe-
dition  T-shirts are  now on sale in EU.  He has a stock of about 50. If the
stock runs out,  more will be printed when they get back. The Tshirts are of
high quality, light grey colour with bright red silk screen print. The front
shows the Heard  DXpedition's logo.  The back says: 'Antarctica Expedition =
Heard Island 1995' with 'Sponsor' in large print above it.  Only one size is
available: XL. The price is $25 including  postage to Europe.  Send requests
to his address:  ON6TT - Peter Casier, POBOX 1, B-9090 Melle, Belgium.  Cash
only (local currency is ok), no cheques pse.
 
IL3  --->  Alberto, IK4HPU, reports that all the QSLs for the  activity from
Bonello Scirocco  (IIA RO-006) the 8 October have been all processed (direct
or via the bureau) or personally during the Bologna DX Convention.

EA8AM ---> Luc reports that he  found his call in some  DX publications near
the QSL manager OH1RY.  It is a big mistake:  OH1RY is the EA8AH's  manager,
not for EA8AM. QSL for EA8AM can be sent to his callbook address.

ANGUILLA, VP2E --->  The Anguilla Amateur Radio  Society has a new  address:
AARS, P.O. Box #1, Anguilla, British West Indies. Remember that AARS has not
his own QSL-bureau, but the cards received at this address will be delivered
to the addressees. No warranties for a fast and safe service.

ITALY-AUSTRALIA VIA MOON? -->  Jim, VK1FF, reports that the VK1 Division of
Wireless  Institute of  Australia is planning  the activation of a  special
station, the 11 December 1995, to celebrate the Centennial of first experi-
ments by  Guglielmo Marconi.  During this  activity, the engineers and  the
students of the local University should like to have an EME QSO (earth-moon
eart) with an ITALIAN station. The available equipments are a 10 meters si-
ze dish and high  power transceivers on  70 cm and 23 cm. Those  interested
is kindly invited to  contact as soon as possible the  following addresses:
packet: VK1FF@VK1KCM.ACT.AUS.AUNZ, Internet:  jamesm@sw2.canberra.edu.au

tion, for which he is receiving many QSLs.
