To all radio amateurs
Thanks to Bob, W5KNE; QRZ DX; Chod, VP2ML; and The DX Bulletin for
the items in this week's bulletin.
UGANDA. Jim, KF7E, has joined the 5X1XA/5X1XB DXpedition, although
he has yet to receive his own call sign. This operation is slated
for April 27 through May 12. Jim, 5X1B, has been on 20 meter CW
recently.
ETHIOPIA. ET3DX, by JH1AJT and DJ9ZB; and ET3TI by OH8MVT continue
to be active. Sid, ET3SID, shows up mainly on weekends with RTTY.
MADAGASCAR. 5R8DP operated by JA1OEM will be finishing up this
weekend, though he hopes to work stateside on 80 meters before
leaving.
SAINT CHRISTOPHER AND NEVIS ISLANDS. Look for Jack, KB8WC; Bruce,
N8LXS; and Scott, KO8O, to be active from April 29 through May 5.
Although plans are for an all band effort, extra attention will be
paid to 40 and 80 meter CW.
BOSNIA/HERZEGOVINA. 4N4XX says that stations in Bosnia will begin
using call signs with the prefix T9 sometime in May.

Western Samoa from June 14 through 17, and
American Samoa as KH8/HB9TL from June 18 through 20.
THIS WEEKEND ON THE RADIO. With big guns galore attending the
Dayton Hamvention this weekend, competition on the bands may be a
little less steep this weekend.
The Helvetia Contest, sponsored by the Swiss amateur society USKA,
runs for 24 hours starting 1300z Saturday. Look for both CW and
phone activity on the non-WARC HF bands and 160 meters. For more
details, check out Contest Corral on page 106 of April QST.
Sunday the 25th is International Marconi Day, in commemoration of
Guglielmo Marconi's birthday in 1874.
