BHUTAN ---> The following comes from Charles Harpole, K4VUD: "This is  a call
to all radio amateurs, from any country, who may wish to join me in an effort
to  activate A5 Bhutan the first week in December, 2000.  I can arrange  your
air  travel  from  your  home  or from Kathmandu, or you can arrange your own
travel.  I expect  to  arrive  A5  about  December 1. I have a Bhutan contact
person to arrange passage of rigs, licenses, and hotel rooms.  No word yet on
available  antennas  in-country,  but  you must bring own rig and other gear.
This  is  not  a cheap  trip.  The  license  alone  may cost $300/USD each!."
You can contact Charles at k4vud@hotmail.com

HFC 2000 ---> The  RSGB  International  HF &  IOTA  Convention  will  be held
at  the  Beaumont  Conference  Centre, Old Windsor on 13-15 October 2000. For
further  information  contact  the  RSGB  Commercial  Department on telephone
+44-1707-659015,  fax  +44-1707-645105  or  email sales@rsgb.org.uk.  For the
latest information check the Web at http://www.rsgb.org  This year's event is
organized by Colin J. Thomas, G3PSM, RSGB HF Manager and Chairman of the RSGB
HF Committee.

NOT IOTA! ---> Antonello, IK0GDG/6 was active from Scoglio Trave (IIA AN-003)
on 27  July. Please  note that  neither this  nor  any other  Italian  island
located in call area 6 qualify for IOTA.

QSL 3V8BT ---> Giovanni, I5JHW reports he has started  processing  the  5,000
direct requests for the IOTA operation from the Kerkenah Islands (AF-073).

QSL OD5RAL (AS-108) ---> Jamil Sayegh,  OD5PN reports the following: "The  OK
DX Foundation co-sponsored  the OD5RAL DXpedition  to Ramkin Island  (AS-108)
which took   place  on 24-26  September 1999.  OK1TN, the  president of  OKDX
Foundation, has sent  all  the QSL cards to those who sent their QSL cards to
OD5RI (P.O. Box 22, Baabdat, Lebanon). The delay in  sending  the  cards  was
beyond our control, but the important is that they are all sent out now".

QSL EW5HQ  ---> Vladimir  V. Sidorov,  EU1SA  (President of  the  Belarussian
Federation of Radioamateurs and Radiosportsmen) reports that cards for  EW5HQ
should be sent to P.O. Box  469, Minsk 220050, Belarus.  This is the  address
for the Belarussian QSL Bureau (do not send cards to the official address  of
BFRR, as  "the actual  location of  the HQ  has nothing  to do  with its  QSL
address").

QSL TA3J ---> Berkin, TA3J reports  that between 26 and 28  July he sent  his
cards to  the QSL  bureaux of  Belarus, Belgium,  Bulgaria, Brazil,  Croatia,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany Greece,  Hungary, Ireland, Israel,  Japan,
Kuwait, Latvia,  Lithuania, Luxembourg,  Norway, Portugal,  Romania,  Sweden,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, USA.

WRTC 2000 ---> The  following  are  the  Final Official  Results of WRTC 2000
after the review and corrections made by the referees' team. The order of the
top finishers is not affected, but there are a  few  changes in the  order of
finish farther down the list (see 425DXN 480). The score of S511E is based on
submission of truncated log, missing approximately one hour of operation.
