DXCC NEWS ---> Documentation for 3V8DJ and 3V8SZ (Tunisia, March 2001) and
EP3UN has been received and approved; QSLs are now being accepted for DXCC
credit.
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Christian, DL6KAC is receiving cards for stations from
Eastern Europe (EK, EW, 4J etc) whose correct QSL manager is DL 8 KAC. The
only activities managed by Christian are his own operations and the WAG 2001
Contest QSOs for DN2EI.
OLD IRCS ---> According to a recent message from Akhilesh Mathur, Mail
Programme Manager, International Bureau of the UPU, "old" IRCs have no
expiration date. "All countries are bound to exchange old and new IRC's",
Mathur states. "The old ones are valid for exchange indefinitely. If any
country is not exchanging the old coupons it is in error. We are now
considering sending a bulletin to all countries on the subject". Many thanks
to Antonio Vernucci, I0JX for provinding the information.
PIRATE ---> 4K5CW was pirated again on 21 metres RTTY in the past few days.
Sergej Gorobec, the genuine 4K5CW, does not operate RTTY or other digital
modes. Do not waste your time and money on QSLling. [TNX 4K5CW]
QSL 9M6AAC ---> Bob Schenck, N2OO is sorry to report that most logs from the
July 2001 operation at 9M6AAC were lost. Bob has the log for some 200 QSOs
made from 08.22 UTC on 27 July through 05.21 UTC on the 28th, but it is
advisable to contact Bob (n2oo@arrl.net) before you submit your request.
Please note that ALL other 9M6AAC and 9M6A logs (including the July 2001 IOTA
Contest 9M6A operation) are all right. The web site for 9M6AAC is at
http://www.qsl.net/9m6aac, Bob's QSL manager's page is at

3D2IR, K4/VK2IR and N4/VK2IR. If you have already sent your cards direct to
VK2IR, there is no need to resubmit. [TNX DJ2MX]
QSL VIA KJ4UY ---> Larry, KJ4UY/V47UY reports that his new temporary address
(for the next couple of months) is Lawrence W. Wolf, 4330 Mahogany Run S.E.,
Winter Haven, Florida 33884-2945, USA. "All QSLs have been answered to date",
