Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, ARRL DX Bulletin, AD1C,
K4CEF & Southeastern Cluster Group, NT5C, WD8IOU, PA3ERC, VS6VW, DF4RD
and DL7VEE the DXNL for the following DX information.
4E7, REPUBLIC OF PHILIPPINES (DU). The DX News Letter reports that the
Philippines will begin to issue 4E7 prefixes as of January 1, 1995. So
far on the Ohio/Penn Network there have been no QSNs reported on this
new prefix, but Mike, VS6VW, reports hearing SM0CNS/4E7 active on
160 meters.
5Z, KENYA. A couple of stations from here have been active on the lower
bands lately. 5Z4FO has been active on 75/80 meters CW/SSB below 3800 kHz
starting as early as 2215z and as late as 0415z. He has also been active
on 160 meter (mostly CW) on 1832 kHz around 0100z. QSL via KB4EKY. Also,
look for 5Z4DU on 75 meters SSB around 0330z. QSL via KG4X.
9M8 & AH0, EAST MALAYSIA AND NORTHERN MARIANAS. The ARRL DX Bulletin
reports that Frank, AH0W/OH2LVG, one of the operators of the XF4M
DXpedition to Revillagigedos back in October, will be active as AH0W in
early March from the Northern Marianas/Saipan. His activity will include
participation in the ARRL SSB DX Contest as a single-op entry. Frank
will stop for a few days on business in Malaysia and will activate East
Malaysia (no callsign has been mentioned). Both operations will
concentrate on low bands, 20 meters and WARC bands. QSL via KE7LZ.
9Q, REPUBLIC OF ZAIRE. Joe, G3MRC, is active as 9Q5MRC. He has been heard
operating mainly on 20 and 30 meter CW. Activity seems to be between
1900 and 2200z. His length of stay is unknown at this time. QSL via G3MRC.
Meanwhile, Bjorn, LA9IY, is active as 9Q5IY for three months and was heard
operating on 18071 kHz around 1630z. QSL only direct via LA1K because he
is not a member of the Norwegian bureau!
HL, SOUTH KOREA. Bart, K4CEF, from the Southeastern Cluster Group, reports
he received a note from Harry, HL9HH, stating he is looking for some help
with low band WAS (Worked All States). He needs the following states on
the following bands: NC and SC on both 40 and 80 meters, DE and MD on 80
meters, NJ on both 40 and 80 meters, ME, MA, NH on 40 meters and VT, RI,
CT on both 40 and 80 meters. Harry can be found on most days operating on
or around 3509 and 7009 kHz after 1030z. Please see if you can meet him
at these times or pass along the word to someone who can. Harry has an
Internet address (hherr@emh.osan.af.mil) and he does make skeds.
PA, NETHERLANDS. Rob, PA3ERC, reports the "Contestgroup Oude Maas"
(PI4COM) wil be active in the CQWW WPX RTTY Contest as a Multi/Single
entry. The callsign will be PA6WPX for this event. QSL via PA3CAL.
PACIFIC DXPEDITION. Ed, K8VIR, will be traveling to several different
locations over the next six months. Activity will begin from FK (New
Caledonia), but no starting day, callsign or activity of what bands have
been mentioned. The only other information reported is that he will
be active from Western Samoa, Tonga and maybe a few surprise locations.
QSL via CBA.
PJ9, CURACAO (Neth. Antilles). John, W1BIH, will be active from here
until mid April as PJ9JT. Activities will be on all bands and modes. So
far John as been heard on 3506 kHz starting around 0130z or on 40 meters
CW between 0100 and 0200z and again at 1130z. Also, check 21279 kHz
around 1430z. QSL via W1AX.
VP8, SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND. It was announced (January 13th) by one of the
VP8SGP operators that the DXpedition would end Sunday, January 15th.
This is a week earlier than expected. There was no reason given or
mentioned.
XU, KAMPUCHEA. Mike, VS6WV, in Hong Kong, reported hearing Sanyi, XU7VK,
with good signal on 1829 kHz at 1435z. There were no stateside QSNs
reported but you may want to give a listen!
Z2, ZIMBABWE. Bill, Z21CS, can be found most days on 18124 kHz around
1715z. The interesting thing when QSLing to Bill is he does not want
any IRCs or green stamps, he would like a packet of flower seeds for
his wife! QSL to: Bill Taylor, Box 264, Kwekwe, Zimbabwe.
