QSL Manager) reports that RAST is receiving quite a number of QSL cards for
HS3RK, a call that has not been issued in Thailand. Some of the cards mention
the name "Ralph", no doubt these QSLs are for 5H3RK.

his receiver died on Monday (8 July) night. He hoped to figure out the
problem on Tuesday morning, but "black poured out of the radio" when he

WRTC2002 ---> Final reminder: the WRTC2002 organizing committee would like as
many participants as possible to e-mail their contest logs to
logs@wrtc2002.org by 1800 UTC on July 14. These "early bird" logs will be
