T88SI: The complete log for the February operation from Sonsorol Island
(OC-248) is now available at either http://www.425dxn.org and on
the Diamond DX Club's web site (http://www.ddxc.org).
Cards are expected to arrive from the printer within the end of
the month and the QSL manager will begin processing the requests
immediately. QSL via IT9YRE (Ferdinando Rubino, P.O. Box 30, 96012
Avola - SR, Italy).
Details on the operation will be published in the April 425DXN
Monthly Edition; pictures are already available at
http://www.425dxn.org
VP6DI: The official web sites for the operation are:
Logs http://www.big.or.jp/~ham/VP6DI/
Pilot Info/Latest News http://www.qsl.net/aa0mz/ducie.htm
General Information http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/ducie.htm
Part of the logs have been uploaded using a 1200 Baud modem and
satellite phone. They are from a very early stage of the
operation, so do not panic if you do not find your call/QSO.
Mike, VK4DX reports he has included a few audio files from the
Ducie pileup on his web site (http://www.vk4dx.net). He has also
updated his Contest Calendar with Australian and US events.
XR0X: The team has been forced to temporarily discontinue updating the
web log server. Logs through approximately 20 March at 18 UTC were
uploaded on 22 March (check http://cordell.vwh.net/SFX/), after
which expect a delay for further updates: "The HF pactor link has
been very slow due to propagation problems", the team reports,
"and requires us to use one of our valuable HF stations for long
periods of time which means that we are spending time uploading
data instead of working you". [TNX K6GNX]
