BRITISH PREFIXES ACCORDING TO LICENCES ---> 2E, 2D, 2I, 2J, 2M, 2U, 2W =
novices; G, GD, GI, GJ, GM, GU, GW = full licence, home station (issued
before 1st April 1996); GX, GT, GN, GH, GS, GP, GC = club stations (issued

OZ QSL BUREAU ---> The new address of the Danish QSL Bureau is: E.D.R. s QSL
Bureau, Klokkestoebervej 11, DK 5230 Odense M., Denmark.

foreseeable future. Henry, the operator for T30A, T30BC and T32BC, has been a
silent key since July 1993. Jack reports that "KH6UR is unable to assume
responsibility for his operations and does not have any use for the logs. I
will hold all logs and cards here pending any arrangement short of disposing
of all. However I am no longer financially able to support these duties or
ship same at my expense. If some one is willing to support these duties and
pay for the shipping, I will clear the arrangement with Glenn and box all
items for shipment. I estimate there is around 40 pounds of logs and cards".

TK5NI/P & F/HH2HM ---> With regard to TK5NI/P [425DXN 277], LES NOUVELLES DX
(#397) states that "as a matter of fact this 'station', who asks for QSL via
F/HH2HM (and everybody knows that this call does not exist any more and it
has no reason to be mentioned), no one else is but the very same F/HH2HM. Not
to mention F/HH2HM's past island activities (surely conjectural, as far as it
can be judged))", for which the authoritative French bulletin's editors be-
lieve that "a withdrawal pure and simple of the DIFM and IOTA credits" is
"more than salutary".
US.I. AWARD ---> US.I. Award island chasers can now find detailed informa-
tion, including the complete island list, on the WEB Page edited personally
by John, NL7TB (http://www.owt.com/usislands/).

General of Telecommunications in Sana'a. Amateur Radio is still NOT permitted
there. Apparently the Italian who operated there this past summer did so
without official permission" [425DXN 268].
