14022 14195 14085 14071 50102 50145 - -
At least five other DXpeditions are expected to be active in
February, so there is a strong likelihood that, from time to
time, D68C will need to change transmitting/receiving frequencies
to avoid confusion. The first group of operators fly out on 4
February, arriving D68 on the 6th. They expect to take about two
days setting up equipment and antennas, so that when the
operation starts they will have all bands up and running. D68C
will be active during the WPX RTTY Contest (10-11 February). The
QSL managers are G3SWH (Phil Whitchurch, 21 Dickensons Grove,
Congresbury, Bristol, BS19 5HQ, England; bureau card requests
welcome by e-mail at phil@g3swh.demon.co.uk) and, for SWLs, BRS
32525 (Bob Treacher, 93 Elibank Rd, Eltham, London SE9 1QJ,
England; e-mail: brs32525@compuserve.com). The D68C Web Page
(http://www.dxbands.com/comoros) is and will be updated with the
latest news, logs etc. [TNX G3XTT]

**** GOOD TO KNOW ... ****
===========================
Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
CLOSED LOGS ---> "One thing that has always bothered me is hearing that a QSL
manager is 'closing a log'", Bob Schenck, N2OO says. "I will be happy to
preserve any DX or DXpedition log and take on the QSL manager responsibility,
no matter how old the log might be. Logs can be in any format, even paper and
I will even provide replacement cards if needed as well. If any of you hear
of a DX or DXpedition log that is being 'closed', or perhaps that a QSL
manager becomes SK, please save the log(s) and drop me a message". Bob's
e-mail address is n2oo@arrl.net
CIS AWARD ---> The Radio Amateur's Diploma of the Commonwealth of Independent
States is sponsored by the "Funkner DX Family" amateur radio club (RZ3DZZ)

506], there will be 3 trophies for the 3 SWLs who hear D68C on the most bands

OE1GZA will be stuck in Austria", he says, "and probably not be replied to as
long as I'm overseas, and that might be another few years".
QSL FY5FY ---> The address given in 425DXN #508 was taken from RAC 2001, but
Alain, F6EZV (Didier's brother) states it is wrong. The correct address is:

carefully checked, however if you receive "Not In Log" and are certain that
you had a QSO with VK0MM, then you should contact Alan (vk0mm@yahoo.com) and
