                          *************************

5A28 LOG ---> The 5A28 Log Search is now available on the 5A28 DXpedition web
page  at   <http://www.point.at/point/5a28.htm>.  They   made  11,404   QSOs,
including the first RTTY contacts from Libya for 30 years.

BRAZILIAN ISLANDS WEB  PAGES ---> Further  information about the  forthcoming
operations from Ilha  Grande, SA-029 (by  ZW1A, ZX1A and  ZV1A, 3-5  October)
[425DXN 333] and Ilha das Couves, SA-028 (by ZW2E, 8-10 October) [425DXN 333]
may  be  found  respectively  at <http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Lagoon/
7193> and <http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/4160>.

DXPRESS ---> As  of 1 October  the new  editor of  DXPress will  be Rudy  van
Dalen,  PA3GQW  (Kleinpolderlaan   120,  2911-PB   Nieuwerkerk  a.d.   Yssel,
Netherlands; E-mail: pa3gqw@worldaccess.nl). Many  thanks to Dick  Grolleman,
PA3FQA who has been the editor for the past four years and three months.

HH2PK ---> It has been reported [425DXN 333] that Ivo, HH2PK is now active as
5B4ADA from Cyprus.  Zack, W9SZ  reports that  "Ivo Pezer's  call was  HH2AW.
HH2PK is Pat,  who I assume  is still in  Haiti and will  be in the  upcoming
contests. Ivo often used Pat's station for contesting - that may be where the
confusion came  from!". We  apologize for  any  inconvenience this  may  have
caused our readers.

NA-059 & NA-158 ---> John Minke, N6JM says that his IOTA DXpedition to  Dutch
Harbor, Fox Islands (NA-059) [425DXN 332]  was a bust: "There were almost  no
signals the first day so I thought maybe the next two days would be  better",
John says. "No, they  were worse. The  result of three  days of checking  the
bands amounted to no log entries at all!". He did not attempt to activate  an
island in Kachemak Bay (NA-158) as the weather was cold and wet and "with the
bands the way they are it just wasn't worth even trying".

QSL EU-083  ---> Tony,  IK1QBT reports  that all  the  direct cards  for  the
Gallinara Island (EU-083) operations in June [425DXN 317] have been mailed.

QSL EU-127 ---> DJ3XG, DF5WBA and DL6CGC report that the cards for their  May
activity from Neuwerk Island (EU-127) [425DXN 305] have all been sent through
the bureau.

QSL YC8SHQ/P ---> Doc, K7SO reports  that QSL cards for Chris, YC8SHQ/P,  who
is currently  active from  the town  of Saumlaki  on  Yamdena Island  in  the
Tanimbar group (OC-???) [425DXN  333], should be  sent to Pastoran  Saumlaki,
Maluku Tenggara, 97664 Indonesia. Father  Chris is a  missionary and will  be
there for at least three years.

VK9WM & VK9WY  ---> The Willis  DXpedition went QRT  around 20.00  UTC on  21
September after a grand total of 42,275 contacts. QSL to ODXG Willis  Effort,
P.O. Box 929, Gympie, Queensland 4570, Australia.

+ SILENT KEY +  It was with great sadness that we have learnt from The  Daily
DX of the passing of Phil Williams, 5W1AU.  He had been the President of  the
Western Samoa Amateur Radio Club and operated  the QSL bureau out of his  own
pocket from 1971 until May 1997 [425DXN 315].
