MALYJ VYSOTSKIJ ---> OH5AB/MVI and R1MVI [425DXN 317] went QRT at 03.30 UTC

QSL 5A1A ---> Les, WF5E reports the following: "In a letter I received from
5A1A, Abubaker said he can QSL any 5A1A contacts since July 1995 on. He said
it's not possible for him to use any QSL manager. For a QSL with 5A1A there
is only one way that can be used: it has to be sent registered air mail, send
green stamps (two per QSL), do not send any IRCs (they are not usable in
Libya and have no value). The address is: Mr. Abubaker Alzway, P.O.Box 74421,
Tripoli, Libya)". Les adds that "Abubaker is 25 years old, single and
employed as a electronics engineer. His hobbies are Radio Amateur DXing and
football. He collects stamps of football events, materials of football clubs
and teams from all over the world (posters, flags, caps, mufflers, t-shirts
etc.). Also likes correspondence 'pen pals' with people from all over the
world (his English is excellent)."
QSL 5K3W ---> QSLs are handled by HK3SGP (Francisco Hennessey, P.O.Box
170030, Bogota D.C., Colombia).
QSL 9K2F ---> 9K2RA is *not* the QSL manager for 9K2F [425DXN 320]. Cards
should go to 9K2HN either direct (Hamad J. Al-Nusif, P.O. Box 29174, 13152
Safat, Kuwait) or through the bureau.
QSL FK/F5PXQ ---> The OPDX reports that QSL requests should be addressed to
Didier Lavisse, Caserne Normandie, B.P. 12, 98842 Noumea Cedex, New
Caledonia. Please note that one green stamp does not cover return postage

QSL VK0IR ---> The following message has been received from Bob, KK6EK:
"Almost all of the VK0IR cards are out, and I hope yours were received and
are correct. The VK0IR team is especially grateful to John W4FRU and Bob
K4JDJ for handling this enormous task. [...] Now and then I see a question
about the cards from someone who has not received theirs yet. While the
QSLing process is working just fine, it is possible that a small numer of
cards have been lost somewhere or are still in process. [...] If you are
still waiting for your cards and are concerned, I invite you to write back to
me (directly please). Please be brief; I don't need a huge explanation, just
your callsign and the vitae of your contacts. I will make a special personal
effort to track them down for you. Please note that the internet log server
is current. Log into <http://www.ccnet.com/~cordell/HI> and press the red
button "Am I in the log?" If your QSO is not on the server, it is not in the
log per se. In a very few cases, it is possible the log is wrong, so if you
have a reasonable story, please forward that to me and I will see what we can
do. Also please note that this is not a promise to give cards where they are
not deserved. We must be able to find a log entry that is clearly yours in
order to issue the card."
