3A     - Leo, K8PYD will be active (mainly on RTTY with some CW) as  3A/K8PYD
         from Monaco between 18 February and  2 March. He  will be joined  by
         Tom, N9NC (3A/N9NC) on 19 February for a week. Tom, who will be free
         only at evening time after work,  plans to work 40,  80 and 160  CW.
         Either or both  of them may  participate in the  ARRL CW DX  Contest
         (20-21 February). [TNX K8PYD]
3B8    - Hans, DJ7MI is active as 3B8/DJ7MI  from Mauritius (AF-049) till  20
         February. Plans are to operate mainly  on the low bands CW. QSL  via

3B9    - Six metres enthusiasts will be glad to learn that Ned Stearns,  AA7A
         has joined the multi-national DXpedition group  that is heading  out
         to Rodrigues Island [425DXN 399]. The plan  is to be QRV on 1  April
         and be  on  the air  for  as  much  as 10  days.  Ned,  who  is  the
         responsible for the 6 metres station, believes that time of year and
         this part of the solar cycle look promising for potential six  meter
         propagation to Europe and Japan  and possibly the  US over the  long
         path. He invites amateurs in EU, JA and the US to help him in  order
         to plan operating schedules on 6 metres for this  once-in-a-lifetime
         DXpedition. Ned's e-mail address is stearns@goodnet.com [TNX SM7AED]
5H     - Maurizio, IK2GZU  now will  be active  as 5H3/IK2GZU  from  Tanzania

         possibly three) stations on 160-10 metres, with the exception of  30

         propagation, they plan to have at  least one station on the air  for
         24 hours a day. Look for them on the ususal IOTA SSB frequencies, on
         CW (1830, 3503,  7005, 14025, 18073,  21025, 24895,  28025 KHz)  and
