THE SONSOROL HAM RADIO PROJECT ---> The Sonsorol Ham Radio Project is
collecting funds to teach radio fundamentals to local children and to build a
local station thanks to rev. Bill Burton, T88SI and Governor Laura Ierago.
You can contribute donating money, used equipment, books, antennas, keys, QRP
kits or buying the T88SI video (20 minutes VHS-PAL), including small souvenir
from Sonsorol. 10$ will be donated to the fund for every video sold. A video
clip is available at http://www.sonsorol.com/ham_radio/index_eng.htm, where
donors will be listed. Please contact Maury, IZ1CRR (i121171@425dxn.org) for
price details.
425DXN - PORTUGUESE VERSION ---> Paulo Pinto, CT1ETE has been unable to edit
the Portuguese language version of 425 DX News for some time due to an hard
disk crash. He says he "will update the Portuguese version as soon as
possible beginning with the most recent one and trying to recover the older
ones".
DXCC NEWS ---> Bill Moore, NC1L (ARRL DXCC Manager) reports the following
operations are approved for DXCC credit:
Afghanistan - YA/G0TQJ (30 April - 11 July 2002)
Myanmar - XY3C, XY5T, XY7V, XY0TA, XY4KQ and XY3EZ (1-25 August 2002)
Yemen - 7O/OH2YY: the DXCC Desk has received evidence that the Yemen
operation by Pekka Ahlqvist, OH2YY in May 2002 was conducted
with written, government approval. Credit for QSOs with
7O/OH2YY between 4 and 11 May 2002 (inclusive) will be given
effective immediately.
As far as 7O1YGF is concerned, no evidence traceable to the
Yemeni government has been received by the DXCC Desk to date.
DXCC credit for this operation will be given only after such
evidence has been presented to ARRL.
IOTW ---> John, WD8MGQ reporst that the Island On The Web forums are back on
line at the following URLs:
Skeds and Rumors http://www.islandchaser.com/cgi-bin/Skeds/skeds.pl
General IOTA forum http://www.islandchaser.com/cgi-bin/General/general.pl
IOTA contest forum http://www.islandchaser.com/cgi-bin/Contest/contest.pl
Unfortunately, the provider lost all the email addresses, so everyone needs
to subscribe again.
PIRATE ---> Toru, JR3QHQ reports that the station signing 7Q7YE on 15
September (20m CW, with QSL via JR3QHQ) was a pirate.
PIRATE? ---> DU2/DU8ARK was reported being active from OC-092 on 30 metres.
Joe, I2YDX (the QSL manager for DU8ARK) says that Dan does not operate CW and
is believed to be in Manila.
QSL HK3JJH ---> Pedro reminds DXers and IOTA enthusiasts that he is not a
member of the Liga Colombiana de Radioaficionados and cannot receive bureau
cards. QSLs should be sent direct only to Pedro J. Allina, P.O. Box 81119,
Bogota, Colombia.
QSL ZC4ATC ---> During his recent trip to Cyprus, Alan/G3PMR was able to
operate ZC4ATC for about one hour (about 85 QSOs). For some reason in the
past QSLs for ZC4RAF and ZC4ATC were sent to him, but Alan is not and has
never been the QSL manager for these stations. To avoid further confusion as
a result of last week's operation, please note that the correct QSL manager
for ZC4ATC is 5B4YX, including the QSOs Alan made on 12 September 2002.

EM3W, FK5DX, FK8GM, J39BW, LZ2TU (for 1993 only), ST2/G4OJW, ST2AA (through
