- TONGA. Paul, KK6H, is supposed to be operating from here May 5
- through June 4, though as of press time there have yet to be any
- spots on the local PacketCluster node. Listen for Paul's CW and
- RTTY from the shack of A35CT. Paul has requested the call sign A36H
- and plans to be in the WPX CW contest. QSL via KK6H.
-
- JOHNSTON ISLAND. There is good news and bad news. First the bad
- news. The AH6IO/KH3 DXpedition by AH6IO and NH6UY has been
- cancelled. The good news is that satellite gear for the DXpedition
- will be used by KH3AF for about a month, so at least satellite DXers
- will have a chance at snagging this one.
-
- YEMEN. Robert, N4GCK, of 3Y0PI fame, has received permission to
- operate from Yemen. He will be on as 7O0CW during July for a period
- of 4 or 5 days, mostly CW.
-
- ZAIRE. Paul, F6EXV, has been active as 9Q5EXV. F5FHI is signing
- 9Q5FHI and has been worked on 7016 kHz at 0100z and 14193 at 1938.
- Both EXV and FHI are expected to move to other African locations
- soon.
-
- ITU HQ GENEVA. Listen for 4U9ITU being operated from station 4U1ITU
- until May 11.
-
- LIECHTENSTEIN. The 4U9ITU operators plan to operate HB0/DL8BDR/P
- with CW, SSB and TTY modes from May 12 to 15.
-
- DESECHEO ISLAND QRT. A spokesman for the US Fish and Wildlife
- Service reports that landing permission requests are being denied,
- so amateur activity from this island is on hold. This action is a
- result of modern day pirates and Haitian rebels occupying the
- island.
-
- SINT MAARTEN. From May 24 to 30, Chod, VP2ML/WB2CHO, and Frank,
- AH0W/OH2LVG, will be signing PJ7/WB2CHO and PJ7/OH2LVG respectively.
- They will team up to operate in the CQ WPX CW Contest as PJ8X. QSL
- PJ7/WB2CHO via K1RH. QSL PJ7/OH2LVG and PJ8X via KE7LZ.
-
- SAINT PAUL ISLAND. Five northeast Wisconsin amateurs are planning a
- 4 or 5 day DXpedition to CY9 between June 10 and 19, weather
- permitting. Check 25 kHz up on 40 through 15 meters. For SSB, try
- 3795, 7155, 14195, 18130, 21295 and 28350 kHz. RTTY will be on 7085
- and 14085 kHz. QSL via K0SN.
-
- QSL UPDATE. Cards for V2/VE3BW should go direct to VE3BW only.
-
- ON A SAD NOTE. Harvey McCoy, W2IYX, FSK RTTY pioneer and Editor of
- The Long Island DX Bulletin, recently became a Silent Key at age 83.
- RIP, Harvey.
