14.265 MHz ---> DXers should note that the FCC has declared a communications
emergency to support the Honduras disaster relief effort. Under the order,
which was isssued on 10 November, amateur radio stations are required to
refrain from using 14.265 MHz (+/- 3 kHz) unless they are taking part in the
handling of emergency traffic.
BHUTAN ---> Jim Smith, VK9NS, who was planning to go to Bhutan in late
October/early November, reports he has "reluctantly decided to postpone my
planned travel for the time being for several reasons. We have had major
problems on Norfolk in the last two weeks involving air travel to and from
the island. (...) There will be some disappointment at this decision however
as you are aware this planned visit to MOC was not intended to be a
DXpedition but rather a means of getting things organized for the near
future. (...) We will return to Bhutan as soon as it is practical to do so
and when I can travel to Bangkok more easily". [TNX OPDX Bulletin]
D68BW ---> Hermann, DJ2BW logged 8252 QSOs on the nine HF bands during his
recent operation as D68BW from Comoro Islands (AF-007). QSL via DJ2BW either

bureau.
QSL CX5C ---> Jorge, CX6VM reports he is not the QSL manager for CX5C [425DXN
392]. This could have been "a miscopy of my callsign during the contest or a
pirate", as Jorge's contest call is CX5X (QSL via W3HNK). We apologize for
any inconvenience this may have caused our readers.
QSL KH0AS ---> Jim Sladek, WB4UBD is the *new* QSL manager for Mike, KH0AS.
Those who have not received their direct cards should not resend at this
time, as Jim expects to have the backlog in the mail by mid-November. Please
note that if you have submitted cards to Mike via bureau, he probably never
received them, as there is no Incoming Bureau for KH0. [TNX WB4UBD]
QSL TG9IGI ---> The *new* QSL manager (direct and bureau) for Germano, TG9IGI
is Mario Ambrosi, I2MQP. Germano is reported to be preparing his station for

General Delivery, Sandy Cove, NS, Canada B0V 1E0. [TNX VE1JS]
QSL VIA W3HC ---> Mac, W3HC reminds that amateurs sending multiple cards in
one envelope with one SASE should be patient and wait until he gets all the
QSLs from the printer: "One person sent six cards", Mac reports, "and I have

added a "Photo Album" to his web site at www.qsl.net/w3hc

and ZY0SZ (on CW, QSL via PT7AA) on all bands for 12-14 days, 24 hours a day,
with an emphasis on RTYY and 160, 80, 40 and 6 metres. This DXpedition, which
is organized by the Natal DX Group, is likely to be the last chance to work
this DXCC entity and IOTA group for many years to come, as the Brazilian Navy
and the Brazilian Institute for the Environment are going to restrict the
access to the islands. The total budget for the DXpedition is around US$
11,000: contributions from the DX community will be highly appreciated and
can be sent to either PS7KM, WX5L or JA4MRL. [TNX PS7KM]
