QSL E30HA ---> Antoine, F6FNU is the new QSL manager for E30HA for all
stations except from the US, which can still be sent to HA5YPP (P.O. Box
1157, H-1245 Budapest, Hungary). [TNX The Daily DX]
QSL MANAGER ---> Marc, F-11734 (Marc Nogent, 60 Rue Foch, 57390
Audun-le-Tiche, France) offers his services as QSL manager. You can get in
touch with at MARC.NOGENT@wanadoo.fr
YI7KRN ---> Bernie McClenny, W3UR, Editor of The Daily DX, reports the
following: "Many people are asking about the legitimacy of YI7KRN who has
been extremely active since Saturday. Word from the Iraq authorities is that
all operations must take place from the club station. The operator (Goran) at
YI7KRN is giving his QTH as Saqiz, which is located in the 'Northern No Fly
Zone' and is highly unlikely to be legitimate". The address mentioned for
QSLling is Box 66815/314, Saqiz, Kurdistan, Iraq.
ZS8D: HELP NEEDED ---> Chris R. Burger, ZS6EZ reports that "the Prince Edward
Island Management Committee has refused permission for Deryck Yelverton, ZS8D
to erect his tribander on Marion Island. Deryck has been active with a
resistively-loaded broadband dipole, but his signal leaves much to be
desired. The tribander and amplifier were donated by the NCDXF, and will
provide a substantial improvement in signal strength. The tribander is
assembled, and ready to be erected if permission is granted". Chris will try
to have he decision reconsidered and he is looking for two types of support:
1) Anybody that can supply *substantial information* about the bird strike
hazard associated with rotary beams and 2) General shows of support. "If they
can see that there really is global demand for activity from Deryck, and that
real antennas are necessary, they may relent". Please send your messages
direct to Chris at crb@nanoteq.com [TNX The Daily DX]
