band/country   slots    during    this    period".    Steve's    web    pages
(http://www.topcities.com/Personal/g4uol/) will  be updated  to include  this
year's log search, new pictures etc.

worked VK0LD will ever be able  to get a traditional QSL  card: "I think  the
statement is pretty conclusive", Alan replied. "I have issued QSLs for  VK0LD
as promised. It is not my problem if the  ARRL or any other DX body  declines
to accept them."  While those who  worked Alan as  AX0LD (from 13  UTC on  25
January 2000 to 13 UTC on  the 26th) can  get their card  through the CW  Sao
Paulo Group c/o PY2YP (Cesar Augusto C. Rodrigues, Al Min Rocha Azevedo,  495
