                         ===========================

6 METRE BEACON ---> Arie, 4X6UO reports a  new 6 metre beacon is active  from
Israel. Check http://www.iarc.org/~4z5ay/htmls/bea_tec.htm

AUSTRALIAN POSTAGE ---> The following comes  from Alan, VK4AAR: "From 1  July
2000, a Goods and Services Tax (GST)  was introduced to Australia as part  of
tax reform. It  means we pay  a little extra  for many, but  not all,  things
including postage stamps. Mail to destinations outside Australia is free from
GST but  NOT internal  mail. Consequently,  Australia Post  has introduced  a
special series of stamps for use on international mail and we must use  these
stamps or risk  being taxed extra.  This will  be enforced  rigidly from  1st
February 2001 but they are being lenient  with us till then. What this  means
is that it is now unwise for  DXers to send envelopes with Australian  stamps
on for their  QSL cards to  be returned in.  If my reply  address is on  that
envelope, I will be contacted and charged a tax (I don't yet know how  much).
If my reply address is not on the envelope, you, the DXer, will get taxed  at
your end, I was told today. Therefore, please send ONLY green stamps or IRCs.
For my part, I prefer green stamps, they are more flexible and useful".

CORRECTION --->  QSLs for  SV8/IT9YRE/p go  to IT9YRE,  QSLs  for R0L  go  to
IK2DUW. In both cases, cards will not be printed before mid/late September at
the earliest [425DXN 486]

KH2/K4ANA ---> John logged his  last QSO from  Guam on 8  August. He will  be
living and working in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; he expects to arrive there  inlate
October and will have  his radio gear.  Cards for KH2/K4ANA  can still go  to
W2PS either direct or through the bureau. [TNX W2PS]

PS0S ---> The ship  departed for Fernando  de Noronha, on  27 August and  the
PS0S operators (Flavio, PY2ZX and  Ademir, PY2SP) went  QRT far earlier  than
expected. Reportedly their on and  off-air periods while  on the island  were
subject to the  priorities set by  the Brazilian  Navy. QSL  via PY2SP.  [TNX
PY2HN]

QSL 3B9R [425DXN 486] ---> If  you have submitted a  direct (not QSL  bureau)
QSL for  3B9R and  have not  received a  card, e-mail  QSO info  and  mailing
address to Gary, K7ZD (3b9r@ktarmail.com, for 160-10M contacts ONLY) or  Ned,
AA7A (aa7a@arrl.net, for 6M contacts ONLY). You card will be sent promptly  -
do not resubmit or send SASE. If  you have not submitted before, please  send
SASE to K7ZD (Gary McClellan, 3422 E. Altadena Ave., Phoenix, AZ  85028-2010,
USA). [TNX K7ZD]

QSL 3XY2D --->  Effective 1 September  2000 the  new QSL  manager for  Denis,
3XY2D will be Joe, W3HNK. [TNX The Daily DX]

QSL 4K5CW ---> The new  QSL manager is  for Serge, 4K5CW  is PA3EPG (Ben  van
Leeuwen, Zwolseweg 57, 8181 AC Heerde, The Netherlands). [TNX PA3EPG]

QSL 8S6LGT  --->  Eric,  SM1TDE  is not  the  QSL  manager  8S6LGT  (Maseskar
Lighthouse, IOTA EU-043). QSLs for 8S6LGT are to go via SK6GX.

QSL VIA UA1RJ ---> Yuri reports he is the QSL manager for EK1SK (1992),  RF1P
(1999, EU-102), RI1POD (2000, EU-102), RI1POM (2000, EU-086), UE1QAA, UE1QKM,
UE1QNY, UE1QSK,  UE1RDM and  UE1SAA. QSL  to Yuri  G. Sinitso,  P.O. Box  10,
Vologda, 160035, Russia.
