currently being used by E4/OZ6ACD. [TNX N4NG]

IOTA CONTEST  ---> The  results of  the 1998  IOTA Contest  are available  at
http://www.iol.ie/~okanep/iota98.html (the *free* SDI logging program for the
1999 Contest can be downloaded from this site).

QSL 3V8BB ---> Cards for contacts  made during the CQ  160 Meter SSB  Contest
(operators UA2FF, UA2FB and UA2FZ) should be requested via DK4VW.

QSL 5H3/IK2GZU ---> Maurizio, IK2GZU logged some 2500 QSOs during his  recent
staying in Tanzania [425DXN 405].  Unfortunately it was  not possible to  use
other antennas but the tribander at  the mission where he was working.  Cards
have been ordered  and can be  requested via IK2GZU  either direct  (Maurizio
Buffoli, Via  degli Angeli  9, 25033  Cologne -  BS,  Italy) or  through  the
bureau. Requests for bureau cards can  be sent to ik2gzu@spidernet.it).  [TNX

QSL E44/JA8RUZ ---> Cards should be  sen to Toshi, JA8RUZ, preferably at  the
following address: Toshikazu Kawanishi, C.P.O. Box 166, Asahikawa,  Hokkaido,
070-8571, Japan. His e-mail address is toshispk@hokkai.or.jp [TNX JA8RUZ]

cards received to the address given by JW0M (P.O. Box 35, Gdansk 37, Poland).
[TNX SP5UAF]

QSL VK8AV/3 ---> Cards for Alan, VK8AV/3 [425DXN 408] should be sent  (direct
only) to VK4AAR (Alan Roocroft, P.O.Box 421, Gatton 4343, Australia).  VK8AAR
is also able  to confirm other  QSOs with VK8AV  if needed.  VK8AV/3 will  be
active from Phillip Island (OC-136) until mid March. [TNX VK4AAR]

QSL VK9CA  ---> JA1CMD,  who  operated as  VK9CA  (Cocos Island,  OC-003)  in
January [425DXN 402], reports many stations  sent their cards to his  address
in Japan.  Please note  that his  current address  is Kazu  Miyamori, Apt  2,
#52604, Hilton Residence, Jl Gatot Subroto, P.O. Box 4083, KBY Jakarta 12040,

QSL YC5XIP ---> QSL manager I1WFF (Fulvio Marin, P.O. Box 88, 13900 Biella  -
BI, Italy) reports that for the  time being he can  confirm contacts made  by
Syafry from OC-109 (2-4 October 1997, 30-31 October 1998, 1-2 November  1998)
and OC-106 (11,  12, 23,24,27  October 1997;  28 November  1997; 6  September
1998; 23- 25 October 1998). Fulvio  says he has replied  to the direct  cards
received so far, a few  "not in logs"  are being checked  with YC5XIP but  it
takes time (if Fulvio does not  receive any information from Syafry, he  will
return these cards & IRCs/green stamps). Logs for OC-075 and OC-108 +  OC-106
and OC-109 for QSOs made on other dates have been requested but not  received
so   far.   Island    chasers   are    invited   to    contact   Fulvio    at
i1wff@biella.alpcom.it  before  sending  their  requests.  Syafry's   current
address is P.O. Box 01, Sedanau 29182, Indonesia. [TNX I1WFF]
