and 9Q5FHI: he  already has the logs on computer for these two stations star-
ting from November 1995 and now  he is waiting for old  logs. Every  QSO will
be confirmed automatically via bureau. Those who have already  sent  a direct 
request to F5FHI can write a note (without sending  contribution) to  Gerard,
and he will ask F5FHI to verify the data.

9X/SM5DIC QSL ---> Leif, SM0BFJ is  the QSL manager  of Gus, 9X/SM5DIC  (Leif
cannot answer via bureau, therefore QSL direct).

ARIZONA DX ASSOCIATIONS --> Boards of Directors for 1996 of the Southern Ari-
zona DX Association and of the Central Arizona DX Association include respec-
tively Larry Pace, N7DD (President), Russ Jordan, N7BSA (Vice President), Ka-
ren Sasek, WA0NNC  (Secretary/Treasurer); Gary Capek, K8BN (President), Frank

N7PNK (Treasurer).

BV9P QSL ---> Steve, KU9C  (helped  by  Ralph, K2PF)  wants  to send  all the 
requests for Pratas not requiring deep searches in the logs within 29 Februa-
ry. Cards sent by Steve (four sides with many pictures)  will be the only va-
lid for DXCC and will be used to confirm  contacts with the  three operations
made from Pratas until now.

DJ5CQ QSL ---> Rudi, DK7NP has replied  all the direct requests  for the past
operation by DJ5CQ and now he is sending the cards via the bureau (about 2000

ke a joined activity, the SSIDXG decided to step aside. The SSIDXG planned to
activate Heard  Island for three weeks  starting from 2 December  1996. Among
the reasons that induced the SSIDXG to renounce is the  impossibility, by the
interntional DX  community, to supply enough  contribution to two expeditions
particularly expensive and with the same goal.

been sent to QSL manager (WA3HUP: Mary Ann  Crider, 2485 Lewisberry Rd., York
Haven,  PA  17370, USA). The  XR0Y's  QSLs (Easter Island)  are now completed
with the QSO data and  next week will be sent  to Mary Ann. She can solve now
the  troubles from the logs and she can also use blank cards  to confirm con-
tacts for wrong pre-printed calls.

* SILENT KEY + We  have  sadly learnt abouth the passing of Fred Mason, KH6OR 
in Honolulu last 29 January.
