The following is an abstract of a longer announcement recently circulated  on
the  Internet.  The  Kingdom  of  Bhutan  has  completed  the  long   awaited
Telecommunications  Act   of  2000   which  authorizes   amateur  radio.   An
international team  (including 9V1YC,  JA3IG,  JA3USA, JF1IST,  K3VN,  K4UEE,
N0MJ, N1DG, OH2BU, ON4WW, RA3AUU, UA3AB,  W0GJ and W3WL) has been invited  by
the Ministry of Communications for the initial introduction of amateur  radio
in Bhutan, May 1-12, 2000. Three CW, three  SSB and one RTTY station will  be
active around the clock. Further details are expected in due time.

4S      - John, NZ9Z will be in Sri Lanka (AS-003) between 1 and 23 April. He
          hopes to operate as 4S7NZG on 10-80 metres CW, SSB and maybe  RTTY.

4W      - Six stations are  now active  from East  Timor: Jose,  4W6EB/CT1EEB
          (QSL via  homecall:  Jose  de Sa,  P.O.  Box  79,  3860  Estarreja,
          Portugal);  Antonio,   4W6GH/CT1EGH  (QSL   via  homecall);   Thor,

          Bernie is signing 4W/W3UR, and not  4W6DX as previously  announced,
          "due to  a  misunderstanding at  the  licencing authority".  He  is
          currently operating from Baucau, some 3-4 hours east of the capital
          Dili. Most activity has been on 15 metres in order to give as  many

HS      - The IOTA DXpedition  to Koh Nu  in the Malay  Peninsula South  East
          Group (AS-???) [425DXN  461] is now  confirmed to  start next  week
          with the special call E29DX. The team is expected to leave  Bangkok
          on 6 April and the  expedition will continue  until 15/16 April.  A
          special licence  has  been  issued  -  it  includes  160m  and  80m
          frequencies, and allows digital modes, but not WARC band operation.
          The main effort  will be to  give first  time contacts  to as  many
          stations as possible, therefore most operation  will be on 10,  15,
          20 and 40 metres CW, SSB  and RTTY using maximum 100 watts  output.
          It may be possible to run  two or three HF stations  simultaneously
          at  times.  The  frequencies  allocated  on   the  low  bands   are
          1.834-1.850 MHz, 3.524-3.526 MHz and 3.534-3.536  MHz. There is  an
          awareness of  the  demand  for  LF  QSOs  with  Thailand,  but  the
          logistics of getting suitable antennas up  are very difficult,  and
          LF operators should not expect too  much on this operation. If  any
          serious LF  operation  is  possible, it  will  came  later  in  the
          DXpediton. QSL via HS0GBI (P.O. Box 1090, Kasetsart, Bangkok 10903,
          Thailand).   The    web   site    for   the    operation   is    at

A.R.A.N.C. ---> The following comes from Tim Totten, N4GN: "The International
Amateur Radio  Union  (IARU) has  officialy  announced that  Association  des
Radio-Amateurs de Nouvelle-Caledonie (ARANC) has been confirmed as the newest
IARU member society, effective 22 March 2000. Due to the timing of the voting
process, the first full UTC date for ARANC's membership was 23 March,  making
this the effective 'event date' for  DXCC purposes. The  result is that  QSOs
with the  Chesterfield Islands  on or  after 0000  UTC,  23 March  2000,  are
expected to count toward the new  DXCC entity. This  corresponds to the  date
and time when  the TX0DX  operation began.  The full  text of  the IARU  news
release can be found at http://www.iaru.org/rel000323.html"

INTERNATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE/LIGHTSHIP WEEKEND ---> This year it will take  place
from 00.01 UTC on  Saturday 19 August  until 23.59 UTC  on Sunday 20  August.
Forty stations  located  in eleven  countries  have already  confirmed  their
participation in the weekend. Those  who intend establishing  a station at  a
lighthouse, lightship  or maritime  light are  invited  to send  the  details
(callsign,   QTH   and   QSL   information)   to   Mike   Dalrymple,   GM4SUC
(gm4suc@compuserve.com).  The   list  of   participants  can   be  found   at
www.waterw.com/~weidner/LH-day-table.htm

PIRATE ---> AP2/WA2WYR is still being pirated on CW (latest reports come from
Matt, S53AU, who heard this one on 25  March around 20.30 UTC on 20  metres).
John, W2YR (ex WA2WYR) operated as AP2/WA2WYR from the American Consulate  in
Karachi, Pakistan  from  1991  to October  1992.  All  other  operations  for
AP/WA2WYR are pirates. The log books for John's many operations can be  found
at http://members.aol.com/w2yr/w2yr.htm (also  please note that  KK6TX is  no
longer the QSL manager for John - cards  should be sent to W2YR). [TNX  S53AU
and W2YR]

QSL 5A1A ---> Please note that  Steve, OM3JW is the  QSL manager (direct  and
bureau) ONLY for the operation by  the Ukrainan team on  11-25 July 1995.  He
got the logs and cards from  UT3UY at the  end of 1997  (before that date  he
just acted as a maildrop). [TNX OM3JW]

QSL 5P1ER ---> Joergen, OZ8AE is receiving  many QSL cards for 5P1ER, but  he
is not the QSL manager for  this station. Cards should go  via EDR bureau  or
direct to 5P1ER, CEPT  Amateur Radio Club,  ERO-CARC, Midtermolen 1,  DK-2100
Copenhagen, Denmark. Their web site is at http://www.ero.dk/carc [TNX OZ8AE]

QSL VIA DL5EBE ---> Dominik, DL5EBE (dweiel@t-online.de) reports that as of 1
April his  new address  is: Dominik  Weiel, Johannes-Meyer-Str.  13,  D-49808
Lingen, Germany.

QSL VIA KD6WW ---> Bruce reports the cards for 3B8/KD6WW and S79BL have  been
printed. He expects to receive them just prior to leaving for V6 and V7  (see
above) so he will start working  on them when he  returns from his  vacation.
Please do not send second requests any sooner than June.

TX0DX ---> The DXpedition went QRT some 24 hours earlier than expected due to
bad weather conditions. As  of 22.30 UTC  on 27 March,  TX0DX had topped  the
60,000 mark in total QSOs (more than  2600 QSOs on 6 metres), maintaining  an
average rate of more than 500  QSOs per hour for the first  five days of  the
operation. There  was  no 160  metre  operation as  the  goal  was  from  the
beginning to get the new one into the logs of as many DXers as possible.  The
HF log search will not be available until a few days after the operation (see
the web site http://www.n4gn.com/tx0dx/ for more details).

VK9RS VIDEO ---> The VK9RS DXpedition (OC-230) 2-hour professionally produced
video will be available in four weeks. Filmed by CT1EEN and edited by  VK6LC,
it will be available on VHS, PAL, NTSC, SECAM and CD rom and will be produced
only upon  direct orders  to VK6LC.  For further  information please  contact
Malcolm K. Johnson, 9 Abinger Road, Lynwood 6147, Western Australia Australia
(e-mail vk6lc@iinet.net.au). [TNX I1HYW]
