9J2 QSL BUREAU ---> Mike, G3TEV (QSL manager for 9J2BO) says that there is no
outgoing QSL Bureau for Zambia. If stations want a card the from Zambia, the
best way is by the direct route, either to the QSL manager or direct to the
station worked, enclosing a SAE plus return postage. Otherwise they are
unlikely to get a return card due to the high postal costs involved in
sending direct replies to cards received via the bureau.
CLOSING LOGS ---> Jack, VK2XQ (formerly VK2GJH) informs that he will close
the following logs on 1 October 2004:
3D2JH Fiji 27 June - 3 August 1997

C21JH Nauru 28 June 1999 - 17 December 2000
T30JH Western Kiribati 21 February 1998 - 25 September 2000
T33JH Banaba 20-26 July 1997
QSL direct only to Jack D. Haden, P.O. Box 299, Ryde, NSW 1680, Australia.
QSL 5B4AHJ ---> Cards can either go via the 5B bureau or to Alan Jubb, P.O.
Box 61430, 8134 Kato Pafos, Cyprus. Please note that currently mail sent to
Alan's old address in the UK is being forwarded to him in Cyprus, but that
will stop in a few weeks' time. [TNX 5B4AHJ]
QSL FY5FU ---> The QSL route is via F5JFU, direct or bureau. From July 1999
to July 2002 (including operations from SA-020) the operator was Pierre/F5JFU
and the QSL manager was F5PAC; on July 2002 Pierre resumed the QSL
management. The callsign was reissued in late 2003: the operators is
Thierry-Pierre/F5REB and - in order to avoid confusion - F5JFU has accepted
to act as his QSL manager. [TNX F5NQL]

His QSL route is via EA7FTR. [TNX HK1XX]
