7W4HI ---> The 14-18 May 7W4HI operation from the Habibas Islands (AF-???)
[425DXN 575] was cancelled at the very last moment due to unexpected
bureaucratic problems concerning landing permissions. "I am frustrated and
it's big disappointment for me", Steve, OM3JW says, as "we spent a lot of
time with preparations of this project".
NOT THE MANAGER ---> DK3WO has received several cards for contacts made with
"ST6MM" on 29 September 2001 (20 and 15 metres CW and SSB). Please note that
DK3WO is not the QSL manager for any station, let alone this pirate. [TNX

listed recently as the QSL route for 4U1ITU. Please note that he is not and
has never been the QSL manager for 4U1ITU ar anyone else. Cards still have to
be sent via the bureau or direct to IARC, P.O.Box 6, CH-1211 Geneva 20,
Switzerland. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Robert
and our readers.
QSL DU1/SQ9BOP ---> Jacek, SQ9BOP made some 6000 QSOs from the Philippines;
now he is in Poland and in July will be goint to the US for one year. Cards
should be sent to SP6GVU (Andrzej Kaleta, P.O. Box 498, Wroclaw 2, Poland).
[TNX SP6GVU]
QSL MANAGER OFFERED ---> Nick Pisaroff, LZ2JF has been a radio amateur for
more than twenty years and now is willing to offer his services as a QSL
manager for someone in need. Please contact him at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+ SILENT KEY + DXpedition pioneer Bob Denniston, VP2VI (W0DX) died
unexpectedly in his sleep a few days ago at 83 years of age. He served as
ARRL president from 1966 until 1972 and as IARU president from 1966 until
1974. After heading up the VP7NG DXpedition to the Bahamas during the second
weekend of the 1948 ARRL International DX Contest, he was credited with being
the "father of the modern DXpedition." First licensed as W9NWX at the age of
13, he subsequently held W4NNN, W0NWX, W0DX and, when he retired to Tortola
(British Virgin Islands), VP2VI. He remained active on the amateur radio
bands until his death.
