**************************** GOOD TO KNOW ... ***************************
************************
GERMAN ISLANDS AWARD ---> Peter, DL2MX (German Islands Award Manager) gives
the latest information on the IOTA status of some German islands [425DXN 296]
N-026 (Minsener Oog), Koos (O-010), Lotseninsel (O-020), Grosse Kirr (O-023),
Oie (O-024) and Riether Werder (O-027) do *not* count for IOTA; Bock (O-004)
and Beuchel (O-025) count for EU-057; Langenwerder (O-022) counts for EU-098.
QSL VK0IR ---> QSLs are via INDEXA, c/o W4FRU, P.O.Box 5127, Suffolk, VA
23435, USA. W4FRU is a QSL manager for several other DX stations, so that if
you include a QSL request for one or more of these other stations along with
your VK0IR QSL request, it could delay your Heard card by as much as six
months. In keeping with the above, TO0R QSLs should be sent separately as
they will be processed by a different person than the Heard Island cards. Any
donation you may include with your QSL request, over and above that required
to process your QSL request, will be forwarded to the DXpedition treasurer.
VK0IR SOUVENIRS ---> You can also support the expedition by bying one of the
unique souvenirs that are made available: white on black (@ $15) and 4-colour
(@ $20) coffee mugs (order from Bob Schmieder, KK6EK, 4295 Walnut Blvd, Wal-
nut Creek, CA 94596, USA); cotton T-shirts (sizes adult S-XXL and XXXL by
special request, $20 U.S. and $25 airmail DX) available from Tom Anderson,
WW5L, 3505 Cliffwood Drive, Bedford, Texas 76021-2043, USA. A professional
quality video will be made available around May 1997 (for information and or-
ders, please contact Peter Casier, ON6TT, Oude Heerbaan 30, B9230 Wetteren,
Belgium).
