5H1FS ---> Pictures and log of Fabio's (I4UFH) recent activity as 5H1FS  from
Zanzibar Island can be found at <http://www.qsl.net/5h1fs/index.html>.

5X1T ---> Peter, 5X1T/ON6TT is back  in Belgium for  about six weeks  [425DXN

March and mid August he made  some 11,000 QSOs (about 500  on RTTY). QSL  via

AP2AP [425DXN 328] ---> Toshikazu Kusano, JA1ELY (editor of The 59  Magazine)
reports that according  to a letter  from Hiro, JA1EZM,  the latter has  been
attending to the  construction of a  coastal radio station  of Pakistani  PTT
since october 1996: "The head of PTT indicated to use ham radio frequency for
testing a new coastal  radio station.   Then Hiro operated  AP2AP as a  guest
operator under observation by PTT. AP2AP is Mr. Mobin Shahzad and his QTH  is
#35 KH-E-BHERIA, RH-V, Defense Society, Karachi, Pakistan".
On the  other hand  PARS  has released  the  following: "The  only  competent
authority to  issue licenses  and callsigns  temporary  or otherwise  is  the
Frequency  Allocation  Board  of  the   Pakistan  Telecom  Authority   (PTA),
Government of  Pakistan.  PTT was  converted  into a  commercial  corporation
(PTCL) in 1994 and therefore cannot  legally allow anyone the use of  amateur
radio frequencies for testing  of commercial radio  stations, neither can  it
allow the use of a ham callsign by someone other than the owner of the  same,
which is strictly prohibited under the terms of the license."

AVES ISLAND ---> Reinaldo, YV5AMH informed The  Daily DX that a group of  YVs

permission to land on Desecheo (KP5),  but the request has been denied  again
giving the reason as unsafe and dangerous conditions on the island.

YC STATIONS [425DXN 327] ---> Stephan, N2UE reports: "The recent  information
regarding new privilge for YF and YC stations on 20 metres band is incorrect.
Apparently there has been a mistake on the YC/YF license renewals in the zero
call area.  ORARI is  working to  clarify the  situation and  to correct  the
mistake. So 20 metres are still reserved  for YB and YE prefixes only.  YC/YF
can still be found on 40, 80/75 and 15 metres".

+ SILENT KEY  + It was  with the  greatest sadness  and sorrow  that we  have
learnt of the sudden passing of Gerald "Jerry" Branson, AA6BB/7 on 17 August.
Many thousands of DXers around the world benefited in many ways from  Jerry's
tireless work in DXing over the past several decades. Jerry was also the  QSL
manager for many DX stations and had lead the South Sandwich Island DX  Group
QSL and support team since 1988.
Tony De Prato (WA4JQS/VP8BZL), of the South Sandwich Island DXpedition Group,
and  Frank  Smith  (AH0W/OH2LVG),  of  the  Midway-Kure  DX  Foundation  have
announced the formation  of a DX  scholarship fund  to honour  the memory  of
Jerry: "The Jerry Branson Memorial Scholarship " will, in general, be awarded
to entering freshmen who have distinguished themselves in DXing  achievement.
Tax-deductible donations  are now  requested of  the DX  community  worldwide
which can  be made  payable to  the "WVARC",  C/O The  Consulate Of  Finland,
P.O.Box 1036, Sun City, Arizona 85372-1036.

QSL VIA  AA6BB/7 --->  A few  years ago  Jerry Branson,  AA6BB/7 set  up  the
"Joanie and Jerry  Branson Trust"  with Mark  Perrin (N7MQ)  and Ron  Vincent
(WJ7R) as trustees, and with Valley Radio Club as the beneficiary.  Then  the
Trust and the Valley Radio Club  entered into a memorandum of  understanding,
to provide QSL services in the event of Jerry's death or disability. Now that
this sad  moment has  come, the  QSL mail  sent to  Jerry's address  will  be
handled efficiently  by those  he selected  to do  this  work: if  all  DXers
continue to  QSL via  AA6BB until  further notice,  then their  mail will  be
processed promptly.
