II2K QSL ---> IK1OUK is not the manager of this contest station of the  Monza
ARI Section. QSL can be sent to IK2UCK (for 1995) or I2KHM (for 1996), but it
is all right to sent them via bureau to II2K.

LACEPEDE ISLANDS ---> The  Diamond  DX  Club thank, through the 425 DX  News, 
those who sent contributions for the forthcoming DXpedition to Lacepede   Is.
Up to now the  following  have  sent a contribution: DE0MST, DL1SCQ,  DL2SCQ, 
DL3MDJ, EA5KB, F5OKK, F5XL, F6ELE,  F9MD, I1EEW, I1HYW, I1JQJ,  I1SNW,  I1ZL, 
I2CBM,  I2MWZ, I8ACB, IK1ADH, IK1GPG, IK1QFM, IK2ILH, IT9UAG, IT9ZGY, JI6KVR, 
OE3WWB, K1IYD, K9PPY,  W1NG,  W3KH and  W6RT.  Dewitt Jones, W4BAA, acting on
behalf of DDXC-North America,  collected  funds  in  U.S.  (TNX:  K5MK, K6DT,
KB8O,  KD7SO,  KE4I,  NN2C,  VE3XN, VE6VK, VE7IG,  W4BAA, W5BOS,  W9DC, W9DWQ 
W9HAO, W9NZM, W0MLY, WB9EEE,  WD9FEN).  Thanks to  voluntary  donations  DDXC
collected until  now more than 700 dollars to fund  part of Malcolm's (VK6LC)
expedition to  the Lacepedes (OC-???) planned from 16 to 21 May [425DXN 249].
The Diamond DX Club  aim  is  to  reach at least 1000 dollars.  Contributions
are still welcome  via I1HYW (Gianni Varetto, P.O.Box 1, 10060 Pancalieri-TO,
Italy) or for North America via W4BAA (Dewitt Jones, P.O.Box 379, Glen Arbor,
Michigan  49636,  USA)   or   for   Asia   via   JI6KVR   (Yuki Deguchi, 4796
Takashima-machi Yatsushiro City  Kumamoto,  866 Japan)  or  for  Oceania  via
VK6LC   himself  (Malcolm  M. Johnson, 9 Abinger  Road, Lynwood 6155, Western
Australia).

NIDXA Convention ---> Saturday 7  September the Northern Illinois DX Associa-
tion organize the annual W9DXCC DX Convention at the Holiday Inn Rolling Mea-
dows, Illinois.  For further information  contact Phil  Camera,  KB9CRY (tel.
708-343.1696, fax 708-343.4394, E-mail Iphil@aol.com).

NORTH KOREA ---> During  a QSO with N5DC (DXAC  representative)  Eric,  G0CGL 
learnt that in mid April  a IARU team should go to North Korea for an activi-
ty (apparently on all bands CW and SSB)  similar to the one of the first ZA1A
group.  They  might  be  operations to instruct local amateurs and government
officers. Eric reports that N5DC  mentioned  that  the  ARRL DXCC Desk gave a
pre-approval to this apoeration, but the news is still unofficial (TNX DXNS).

PS8YL/PR8 QSL ---> Teresinha, PS8YL is sending via  bureau the cards  for her
recent activity  from Sao Luis  island (SA 016). For  those who would like to
receive a  direct reply  remember that one IRC or one dollar is not enough to
cover postage from Brazil.

ST1AP QSL ---> I0LCJ, QSL manager of ST1AP, reports that he has not  received
the logs and QSL for this station as yet. The direct and bureau requests will
be answered as soon as possible.

THE GAMBIA ---> C56CW  and  C56DX  [425DXN  247,  253]  went  QRT on 18 March 
after more than 29,000 QSOs. QSL via DL7DF.

TZ6VV ---> Since last May many health problems have prevented  Larry   Erwin,
TZ6VV  from being active from Mali as frequently as in the past. Currently he
is in Bamako, but  in August  he probably will move to Segou, Larry therefore 
uses just a vertical right now.  His QSL  manager is AA0GL, whose new address 
is  Marshall  Reece,  303 Hillcrest  Drive, RR#3, Larned, KS 67550 USA. It is 
also possible to write to Larry directly (BP 2786, Bamako, Mali).
