E3     - The Space A DX Group is  on track with the plans  for their trip  to
         Eritrea [425DXN 389]. With the added $500 dollars cost per  operator
         for the licence,  and the recent  activity from  Eritrea, they  have
         scaled down  to ten  operators: WD4NGB,  KO4RR, N5VL,  IV3FSG  (YL),
         I8NHJ, EA8AFJ, OK1TN, N9NS, NF6S and DJ9ZB. Operations are confirmed
         to take  place  from  (hopefully) 5  November  until  midday  on  17
         November. Individual callsigns will be issued upon arrival  starting
         at E30AA and up, but it  is hoped the operators  will be allowed  to
         use only one call (however  each operator may  be using his/her  own
         call for the last few hours: in this case QSL via home call).  Plans
         are to operate THREE stations, 24 hours a day, on 160-6 metres  (but
         probably not on  30 metres) SSB,  CW and  RTTY. QSL  to Indexa  (c/o

their requests  for  activation of  Andaman  and Nicobar  Islands  by  INDIAN
AMATEURS (please note that "any requests to join the expedition by non Indian

and N6VV]

QSL 3B7RF ---> The latest  report (29 October)  from Switzerland states  that
26,100 QSOs have been confirmed so  far. All direct cards received before  25
October have been replied. If you  do not receive your  direct card within  a
couple of weeks, please contact HB9BXE at hb9bxe@pilatus.net before mailing a
second request. Bureau requests are  being processed as  well. QSL via  HB9RF
(Postfach 37, CH-6319 Allenwinden, Switzerland). [TNX HB9BGN]

QSL BD7JA & BI7W ---> Reports  mentioning F/HH2HM as QSL manager for  BD7JA/7
and BI7W  [425DXN 390]  are not  correct. Yang,  BD7JA  states he  has  never
authorized anyone  to handle  these QSL  chores. QSLs  go to  P.O. Box  1713,
510600  Gaungzhou,  People's  Republic  of  China.   We  apologize  for   any
inconvenience this may have caused Yang and our readers.

QSL EA9EA ---> Joe, W3HNK reports that due to a miscommunication he will  not
be handling the QSL chores for the  Ceuta Contest Club, EA9EA. Cards will  be
handled by EA9AZ. [TNX The Daily DX]

QSL EP2MM ---> Clyde, W5TQE has been  reported as being QSL manager for  this
station and he is receiving many requests for cards. "I have not operated  as
EP2MM for over 25 years", he  reports, "and I cannot  reply to EP2MM  cards".
[TNX G3NUG]

QSL UA0IAS ---> It has been  reported that many people  were sending mail  to
the old callbook address for UA0IAS/0  at Box 500. Please  note that all  the
mail CURRENTLY at Box  500 will be  forwarded to the  correct address, so  it
will not be necessary for anybody to resubmit a QSL, but any mail coming into
Box 500  NOW  will NOT  be  forwarded. Vald's  current  address  is  Vladimir
Kolodkin, P.O.Box  11,  Palatka, 686110  Magadanskya,  Russia.  Reports  from
Russia also mentioned that there is a mail strike now, so anybody waiting for
mail should have patience. [TNX KB8O]

QSL YA1R --->  Roger, G3SXW reports  he is receiving  direct cards for  YA1R,
which was active earlier this month. Please note that this call was  actually
issued to Roger in 1970 (and at that time the QSL manager was G3TXF), but  he
has not been in Afghanistan since 1973. The QSL route given by the 1998  YA1R
is RW3LO.
