         goals (to make over 10,000 contacts  during his three week stay,  to
         operate CW, which is rare in the Falklands, activate the WARC  bands
         and reach difficult  areas like Asia),  although 80  and 160  metres
         have been disappointing. He is building a 160 meter loop which  will
         be vertically polarized  and installed for  a concentrated Top  Band
         effort all  Friday night  and Saturday  night. QSL  via K4QD  either

ZL9    - The ZL9CI  team left  Wellington,  New Zealand  at  00.20 UTC  on  1
         January and arrived at Campbell Island after a 90-hour voyage.  They
         started unloading the 5  tonnes of equipment  and begin to  assemble
         the antenna  system at  4 a.m.  on 5  January in  order to  commence
         operations on or around 23 UTC on  6 January. In the first 23  hours
         they made 10,724 QSOs (more than half on CW), operating six stations
         on most bands. Ron, ZL2TT was scheduled to be the SSTV operator, but
         as he is not making the trip and as the other operators do not  have
         the expertise to run SSTV, it will  no longer be a featured mode  on
         the expedition. Their  permit restrictions  still are  in place  and
         they cannot be  operational from 1100  UTC to 16.30  UTC.   However,
         rough seas prevented  the team from  leaving the  island safely  and
         that is why they were active during the ZL9 night on 7 January.  QSL
         via ZL2HU  (Ken Holdom,  P.O. Box  56099, Tawa,  New Zealand).  [TNX

printer and the  cards for  his F/ON4LCW/P  July 1998  operation from  EU-039
(Chausey Islands) are not ready. Please be patient. Fred, ON6QR reports  that
the cards for TM5T (1998 IOTA Contest) have been printed and will be sent out
by the QSL manager (ON4GO) as soon as possible.

QSL FT5WH & FT5ZH ---> DXers  are requested not to send  cards for FT5WH  and
FT5ZH in the same envelope. In fact, while the QSL route is the same for both

Cedex, France), the  cards are actually  handled by two  different groups  of

available, but it is not known when FT5WH is able to send his. [TNX F5NOD]

manager for MU0ASP & MJ0ASP (that is Mathieu, F5SHQ, who has been active from
Jersey and Guernsey since July 1998). Jacky suggests to get in touch with the
operator (Mathieu Roche, Longueville Manor Hotel, St Saviour, Jersey JE2 7WF)

QSL UP5P --->  This the special  call used by  Romeo, UN5PR  in contest.  QSL
