         and other  variables.  The  following transmit  frequencies will  be
         used by  BS7H:  1826.5, 3505,  7005,  10105,  14024,  18073,  21024,

4L INFORMATION ---> Information on amateur radio in Georgia is available from
4L2M, Mamuka Kordzakhia, President of the National Association  Radioamateurs
of Georgia, P.O. Box 601511, Hamburg 22215, Germany.

9M6TPR & 9M6TCR  ---> Paul,  K1XM/9M6TPR and  Charlotte, KQ1F/9M6TCR  [425DXN
306] logged 612 QSOs from  Keningau, Borneo (OC-088),  6324 QSOs from  Layang
Layang, Spartly Islands (AS-051) and 625  QSOs from Sipadan Island  (OC-133).
Paul and Charlotte decided  that their goal  would be to  give Spartlt to  as
many people as possible, and gave that priority: 20 metres was the best  band
for them so they operated there  when it was  open. Paul did  most of the  CW
operation and Charlotte did most of  the SSB operation. Continent  statistics
(they do not include dupes)  are as follows  (CW/SSB): North America  1004/0,
South America 18/0, Europe 2468/5, Asia 1963/454, Africa 13/1, Oceania 77/36.
All QSLs are via KQ1F, either direct or through the bureau.
