Band DXCC award. Applications will be accepted beginning 2 January 2001. For
further information, please contact DXCC at dxcc@arrl.org [TNX N4AA & QRZ-DX]
BUREAU CARDS FROM VK ---> Mike, VK4DX reports that the Wireless Institute of
Australia, Queensland division has set new pricelist (effective 1 January
2001) for VK4 hams sending the QSL cards trough the bureau. The previous
price of 2 cents per card for members has increased to 10 cents per card - a
500% increase that in Mike's opinion "will probably lead to the further
decrease of QSL cards received from Australia".

OC-237) will be ready in a couple of weeks. Requests will be processed
starting on 1 February.
