QSL 3E1DX ---> Gunter, HP1XVH allowed  his call 3E1DX to  be used during  the
CQWW CW Contest.  For QSOs made on 17-18 November 1996 (CW & SSB) QSL is  via
KU9C.  For other QSOs QSL is via N0JT.

QSL 4K2KBZ ---> W2CE (Robert Reed, 1991 Route 37 West - Lot 109, Toms  River,
New Jersey 08757,  USA) reports the  following: "Recently I  have started  to
receive QSL cards for Sergey 4K2KBZ. While I did handle the later part of his
operations from Franz Josef Land he left  the country about 2 weeks after  my
starting as his  manager. I had  logs only for  about 900  QSO's made  during
those 2 weeks. I had been  sending QSL's to  the PO Box  Sergey was using  on
Dixon Island as his next stop but have  not heard of anyone ever receiving  a
QSL reply from that Box. Stations who worked 4K2KBZ during the period managed
by me  have already  received either  a  direct reply  to  a QSL  request  or
received a duplicate QSL via the bureau".

QSL 6W1AR & 6W8AR ---> Harald, DJ3AS will close the logs for 6W1AR and  6W8AR
(Dakar, 1980-1982) at the end of 1997.

Island, OC-218/prov). QSL cards will be ready in early February.
