                          Edited by  I1JQJ & IK1ADH

6 METRES  ---> Andy  Lillevars, ES2NA  reports  the following  stations  from
Estonia are now  active on  the band:  ES1AJ, ES1CW,  ES1II, ES1MW,  ES1RF/3,
ES2NA, ES2QH, ES2QN, ES2RJ, ES2WX, ES3BR, ES4NG, ES6PZ, ES0HD.

P3A AWARD ---> It is issued for contacts made on different bands with P3A  in
contest starting on 1  January 1999. For  further information please  contact
the Award Manager Alex Vedernikov, UA9YAB (P.O.Box 120, Biysk, Altajskij kraj
659300, Russia) at europa@biysk.nsu.ru [TNX UA9YAB]

PIRATE ---> A station signing T22QO  was active on 23 May  around 18 UTC  (15
metres CW) and gave QSL via K7ZO,  but Scott (K7ZO) knows nothing about  this
operation. [TNX DL6KVA]

QSL BUREAU ---> Effective 1 June 1999 the  new address of the KH6 QSL  Bureau
is P.O. Box 860788, Wahiawa, HI 96786-0788, USA. [TNX The Daily DX]

QSL 8P6AW ---> The QSL  route for 8P6AW  is *not* via  WB4RRK or K1XN.  John,
K1XN suggests  that requests  for this  club station  should be  sent to  the
Amateur Radio Society of Barbados, Box  814-E, Saint Michael, Barbados.  [TNX
John K1XN and The Golist]

QSL EK ---> Giancarlo, IK7WUJ has received his direct card from EK4JJ  (Serge
K. Mnatsakanyan, 9A/33, 2 Norki Massiv, Yerevan 375062, Armenia), who  states
he QSLs 100%  when sufficient  return postage  is provided.  He says  current
postal rates in Armenia  are very expensive,  which means 2  IRCs or 2  green
stamps (at least for Italy).

QSL EZ8CW --->  Please note he  has *no* QSL  manager, cards  should be  sent
direct only.

QSL UN ---> Nick, UN7JX says he is used to replying to QSL requests within 24
hours from receipt. If you have not received your card after three months, it
is most likely because of the  known "problems" with the postal service.  Now
Nick wants to bring an action against the  post office: "I need some kind  of
document that  proves that  your  letters never  made  it to  their  intended
address. If you have  some way of  obtaining some kind  of receipt, stamp  or
registration that proves  you sent a  letter, this would  be excellent.  FAX:
(7-3232) 475866, E-mail: un5j@ukg.kz" [TNX UN5J]

QSL YU ---> Ed, YZ7ED reports that YU amateurs have not been able to get  any
QSL for one month, as both "the QSL Bureau  and the Post Office do not  work"
because of the war.

QSL ZV0SB  & ZV0SW  ---> Paulo,  PT2NP reports  QSL manager  PT2GTI  (Roberto
Stuckert, P.O. Box 09647, 70001-970, Brasilia/DF, Brazil) has started sending
out the cards for ZV0SB and ZV0SW (March 1999 DXpedition to St. Peter and St.
Paul Archipelago).

QSL VIA LY1FF ---> Law, LY1FF  reports he is the QSL  for 4L8T *only*.  Cards
for LY8X [425DXN 418] go via LY1BZB *only*.

QSL VIA NE8Z ---> Rick is the  *new* QSL manager for HC1OT, HD1OT,  HC1OT/HC8
and HD9OT. The old QSL manager (K8ZZ) will give Rick the cards sent to him in
error. [TNX NE8Z]

QSL NOT  VIA KA7NOC  ---> Steve  Hurst, KA7NOC  has received  cards for  this
station over the last five years, but he is *not* the QSL Manager for  YU1OJ.
He *was* the QSL manager  for YU1PJ several  yers ago, but  he has not  heard
from Zoran  since  the  early '90s.  For  further  information  please  visit
