From ARRL Headquarters
Newington CT  February 19, 1993
To all radio amateurs

Thanks to Jacques, W2/F2YS, Wayne, KH6WZ, Bob, W5KNE, QRZ DX, Chod,
VP2ML, and The DX Bulletin for the items in this week's bulletin.

VANUATU.  This Pacific island is supposed to be activated by Wayne,
W9GW, from February 17 through 24.  As of press time we have seen no
PacketCluster spots.  QSLs should go to 704 Meadowbrook Avenue,
Bloomington IL 47401 4230.

QATAR.  A71CD has been on 21335 kHz between 1400 and 1430z.  A71CW
is the new call for Chris, who has been signing A71AL/SP5EXA.  Chris
has been on 40 meter CW around 0000z with a BIG signal into the
eastern United States.  QSLs go to Chris Dabrowski, Box 22101, Doha,
Qatar.

CROZET ISLAND.  In last week's bulletin we ran an item on the CW
activity by FT4WD.  Jacques, W2/F2YS, recently spoke with Christian,
FT4WD.  Christian, a newly licensed amateur, operates SSB only.  It
is assumed that the station signing FT4WD on CW recently was of
dubious repute.

MARKET REEF.  A team of operators hopes to put OH3AC/OJ0 on the air
February 25 through 28, although weather conditions can either make
or break this operation.  QSL via Box 74, SF-15170 Lahti, Finland.

KOREA.  Documentation for the recent P5RS7 operation has been
received at the ARRL DXCC Desk.  No decision will be made on the
accreditation issue before March 31, 1993.  Please do not send in
cards until instructed to do so.  Thank you.

THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO.  The ARRL International DX Contest CW
starts at 0000z Saturday and ends at 2400z Sunday.  For the contest
exchange, W/VE stations send signal report and state or province.
DX stations should send signal report and power.  For more
information, check page 125 of December 1992 QST.

SAINT LUCIA.  QSL cards have been ordered for the CQ WW DX SSB
contest operation by J68DX, J68AL, J68AP, J68MR and J68WZ.  Your
continued patience would be appreciated.
