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 are in the preliminary planning stages of an operation from Aves Island (NA-020) for Spring 1999.

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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- QSL received via direct: 3A/IK1CJO, 3A/IK1QBT, JF1IST/7J (Okino Tori-shima - AS-052), 9M8ZZ, 9Q5BQ, 9Q5PA, 9X/RW3AH, BS7H, C6AJR (NA-113), GM5VG/P (EU-059), HL0N/3 (AS-088), IJ7/IK7JWX (IIA LE-014, 015), IJ7/IK7VJX (EU-091; LE-001), IL3/IK2PZG (EU-131; IIA VE-002, 047), IL4/IK2PZG (IIA FE-004), IL7/IK7JWX (IIA LE-031, 034), IM0/IS0VBH (EU-165; NU-001), IP1/IK1QBT (EU-083; IIA- SV-001), J77FT, KL7AK (NA-161), S92DW, S0A, VP2EZI, XT2AW, YC8YZ/p (OC-222), ZB2/DL7CM, ZL9DX, ZL9/K8VIR, ZK2EH.
