HAM RADIO BLOGS ---> Christian, DL6KAC is putting together a directory of
amateur radio blogs (http://ham-blogs.net/). "I know that there exists a huge
bunch of weblogs out there", he says. "I set up this website as an effort to
offer a comprehensive directory of ham radio related weblogs, but to achieve
this goal I need the help of the amateur radio community. So if you are a
blog user, please submit your site to the webdirectory". FAQs can be found at
http://www.dl6kac.de/blog/2006/ham-radio-blogs-webdirectory/
QSL 3C2MV ---> Gerry, VE6LB reports that all the bureau cards for 3C2MV have
been processed and sent to the VE outgoing bureau. All special prefix cards

to mail out the first cards around May. [TNX DL6KAC]
QSL YE7P ---> Al Bailey, K8SIX is no longer able to confirm contacts made by
