[TNX The Daily DX] DU1/DL2GAC ---> Bernhard, DL2GAC is back home in Germany. He was unable to get to Batan Island (OC-093) in the time he had available because of changes in reasonable transport arrangements. Bernhard only operated from the Calamian Group (OC-090) for a couple of days on this trip. He did not work too many EU stations but had more success into North America.

Audio from this operation can be heard at http://www.qsl.net/9k2hn This was Martti's sixth visit to North Korea. "While discussing the future of amateur radio in a longer term perspective", he says, "an immediate allowance was made to test the equipment": the operation took place from the telecom center premises, "with North Koreans climbing a 150-ft. tower to hoist the antennas. The antennas were left right there together with the Yaesu FT-847 equipment. It is just a matter of switching the power on - when the time is ripe - to allow North Korea to join the ranks of amateur radio". No advance information was given because, Martti says, "during these several years of DX missionary efforts, it has become obvious that if you are able to work on a project in peace, the best overall results will be achieved. Many major efforts are typically hampered by competing forces who have a hard time accepting the success of others". [TNX N4GN] QSL 4M5I ---> Luis, YV5ENI says that his QSL manager (IK6SNR) will reply to all direct requests for the recent 4M5I operations from Los Monjes (SA-015) and La Blanquilla (SA-037) within June.

At all events, his new and correct address is Peter McKay, UNIFIL, P.O. Box 75, Nahariya 22100, Israel. QSL EK7DX ---> Karen, EK7DX his currently using F5LGQ's address for direct cards.
