Island) are being printed. He expects to start answering requests in three or
four weeks. 

QSL ON LINE  ---> The following  has been  received from  Goran, SM0DRD:  "An
interesting idea is  developing at SK0UX.  You may search  our logs for  your
QSOs and then download QSLs immediately to your home printer. The QSL  Server
is already  operational. We  believe this  is a  first  and the  concept  has
already generated a lot of interest.  The potential savings are enormous.  We
have already received requests  from hams who  want to set  up their own  QSL
Servers and have  one beta tester  working on it.  Other special event  calls
which we have used are SK0HQ and SK0RQ and their QSLs as well as club members
are also available.  During the  CQ WW  CW in  November, we  will field  test
making QSLs from our expedition to Cuba (T48RCT) [425DXN 327, ed.]  available
within hours  after  your contact!    [...] Check  it  out  for  yourself  at
<http://ham.te.hik.se/clubs/sk0ux>. The QSLs are typografically the same as a
'snail-mailed' card and may have pictures. [...] Comments and suggestions are
very welcome since  new possibilities are  developing almost  daily, mail  to
<goran@tjansteforbundet.se>".
