Rod Elliott, VE3IRF  has collected the  DX spots from  the OH2AQ Web  Cluster
since January 1997. The collection (from  January 1997 up  to June 2001)  is
available  at   http://www.425dxn.org/dxspots/,  as well the software (DXINFO
v 1.7) which will  enable you to  handle the files  (instructions at the  URL
above). For further information, please  e-mail Maurizio Bertolino,  I1-21171
(i121171@425dxn.org).

IARU HF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ---> It will take place from 12 UTC on 14 July  to
12     UTC      on     the      15th.      Contest     rules      are      at
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-iaru.html

IG9A, OPERATORS NEEDED ---> The IG9A team is planning a major effort for  the
coming CQWW season and this year they want to organize a multi national  team
to take  part in  the RTTY,  SSB and  CW contests.  Plans are  to operate  as
Multi/Single or  Multi/Multi  (for the  SSB  and CW  events)  if there  is  a
sufficient number of operators.  If you are  seriously interested in  joining
the team and want to have  further information about equipment, prices  etc.,
please drop a note to Fabio, IT9GSF (fgrisafi@tin.it)

OKINO-TORISHIMA ---> IOTA enthusiasts please note  that recent contacts  with
JQ1SYQ/JD1 will not be acceptable  for IOTA credit.  AS-052 has been  deleted
from the IOTA Directory because Okino-Torishima has been found not to  comply
with the IOTA qualification criteria. As there is no active resident amateur,
existing contacts will count until 1 February 2005, but no new operations can
be accepted after 1 February 2001.  In May 1997  an interesting article (with
pictures) on Okino-Torishima  was  published  in  the  Japanese  CQ Ham Radio
(pages 226-227). The CQ Ham Radio website is at http://ham.cqpub.co.jp

PV0F VIDEO ---> The "Fernando de Noronha - PV0F - CQ WPX 2001" professionally
produced video (14 minutes long) features an entertaining tour of the island,
its history and  the QTH  of its  most famous  occupant, Andre  PY0FF. It  is
currently available in NTSC format and will be made available in PAL if there
is sufficient interest. Please contact Dennis,  K7BV (k7bv@aol.com) for  more
information. [TNX K7BV]

QSL 9M8HIM --->  Ian, V8IAN was  operating from  9M8HIM and  will be  sending
cards from the  club station.  QSLs can  be also  sent direct  only and  with
appropriate return postage to VE6VK. [TNX VE6VK]

QSL BQ9P ---> Steve, KU9C reports he  expects to receive the cards around  13
July. He will begin processing the cards immediately, but as he has some 6500
envelopes to fill,  he does not  anticipate having the  cards out  completely
before mid-august.

QSL EA9CD ---> Jose' Antonio reports that cards for PSK31 contacts have to be
sent direct only to: Jose Antonio Mendez, P.O. Box 2078, 51080 Ceuta,  Spain.
Logs are available at http://www.ea9cd.com

QSL GB0HI ---> QSL manager Paul Scarratt, G0WRE reports that it will take  at
least two months before he gets the cards  from the printer for the May  2001
GB0HI operation from  Hilbre Island (EU-120).  Please be patient  and do  not
resubmit. All  direct  cards for  the  May 2000  GB0HI  operation  have  been
answered, bureau cards are processed as Paul receives them. The logs for both
activations can be found at http://www.qsl.net/g0wre

QSL VIA VE6VK ---> Russ (the QSL manager for V8IAN, 3D2AA and 3D2CC)  reports
he is receiving  many cards  with neither  envelopes nor  postage for  return
mail. As explained  earlier this year  [425DXN 515],  Russ does  not use  the
bureau for these stations; so if you want your card, please do not forget  to
include one green stamp or 1 IRC when sending you request to Russ. A. Wilson,
1235 Richland Road N.E., Calgary, AB T2E 5M5, Canada.

QSL VIA VE9MY ---> Please note that direct cards for all island operations by
VE9MY and VE9GLF should  be sent to  VE9MY (Len Morgan,  35 Upper Quaco  Rd.,
Baxters Corner, N.B.,  E2S 2S2, Canada).  Bureau cards will  be processed  as
received. [TNX VE9MY]

QSL VIA W0YR --->  Effective 1 July  2001 the following  cards should not  be
sent to  AA9DX  any longer:  9A/W0YR,  C6A/W0YR, HA/W0YR,  HR6/W0YR,  I/W0YR,
KH7/W0YR, KL7/W0YR, KS4/W0YR, OE/W0YR,  OH/W0YR, OH0/W0YR, OK/W0YR,  R3/W0YR,

Furr Road, Round Hill, VA 20141-1808,  USA). Please note that 3A/W0YR is  via
OM2SA. [TNX W0YR]
