available at http://www.425dxn.org/dxspots/, as well the software (DXINFO
v 1.7) which will enable you to handle the files (instructions at the URL
above). For further information, please e-mail Maurizio Bertolino, I1-21171
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
IARU HF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ---> It will take place from 12 UTC on 14 July to
12 UTC on the 15th. Contest rules are at

IG9A, OPERATORS NEEDED ---> The IG9A team is planning a major effort for the
coming CQWW season and this year they want to organize a multi national team
to take part in the RTTY, SSB and CW contests. Plans are to operate as

OKINO-TORISHIMA ---> IOTA enthusiasts please note that recent contacts with
JQ1SYQ/JD1 will not be acceptable for IOTA credit. AS-052 has been deleted

with the IOTA qualification criteria. As there is no active resident amateur,
existing contacts will count until 1 February 2005, but no new operations can
be accepted after 1 February 2001. In May 1997 an interesting article (with
pictures) on Okino-Torishima was published in the Japanese CQ Ham Radio
(pages 226-227). The CQ Ham Radio website is at http://ham.cqpub.co.jp
PV0F VIDEO ---> The "Fernando de Noronha - PV0F - CQ WPX 2001" professionally

QSL VIA VE6VK ---> Russ (the QSL manager for V8IAN, 3D2AA and 3D2CC) reports
he is receiving many cards with neither envelopes nor postage for return
