This first batch of direct QSLs does not include stateside cards, which will be processed and mailed within the next two weeks. The aim is to get the cards out in time to allow everyone to receive them before the September deadline. [TNX OPDX Bulletin] QSL VK0LD ---> These cards are available at http://www.eQSL.cc/ only [425DXN 501], however electronic cards are not acceptable for DXCC credit. Now Alan reports the following: "Anyone who had a valid QSO with VK0LD and downloaded a VK0LD eQSL card from the eQSL website who wishes to submit such a card to DXCC can forward the eQSL card to me for personal authentication. I will check the card against the original log and sign the reverse of the card, stamp it with a special VK�LD rubber stamp and return the card to sender. I would then suggest that the card is laminated by the sender. The ARRL has advised that this will be sufficient to make the VK0LD eQSL card valid for Macquarie Island according to the ARRL rules for DXCC accreditation. This gesture is PRIMARILY for those stations who ONLY worked VK0LD (Macquarie Island) and need it for a new country or band/mode but DID NOT work either VK0MM or AX0LD". Cards should be sent to the following address (please write "PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL" on the envelope): Alan Cheshire, c/o Station Engineer, West Coast Radio, P.O. Box 688, Mandurah, Western Australia 6210, Australia. Include a Self Addressed Envelope and appropriate funds to cover return postage ("one greenstamp is sufficient to cover the A$1.50 for international mail from Australia", Alan says; do NOT send IRCs and do NOT send Australian stamps). Do not send Alan any card for either VK0MM or AX0LD, which should be routed through their respective QSL managers. QSL VIA OZ1ACB ---> Allis is the QSL manager for OZ7D, OY3QN, OX2K, OX3LG, HS0/OZ1HET, E44/OZ6ACD, D2EYE as well as for the XP1AB operation during the next CQ WW SSB Contest [425DXN 537]. Cards can be sent either direct (Allis Andersen, Kagsaavej 34, DK-2730 Herlev, Denmark) or through the OZ bureau. [TNX OZ1ACB] UE0LLH ---> Due to bad sea and weather conditions the UE0LLH team (namely Dima/RA0LQ, Lex/RU0LM and Mike/UA0MF) was unable to land on Skryplyov Island [425DXN 536]. They operated from the lighthouse (LH 0435) on Tokarevskiy Island (not IOTA) and made some 2000 QSOs on 18-20 August.
