4W, EAST TIMOR. Thor, 4W6MM, has once again been very active on 20 meters

7X, ALGERIA. Mirek, 9V1XE/VK2DXI/SP5IXI, will once again be active as

expected to be there longer this time, 3-4 weeks. He will be active in
his spare time on HF and via AO40. This time he will not take antennas
for UO14, so there will be no activity on this satellite. During his last
activities, Mirek was active from the locator IM81. This time, he will
also activate IM93. On HF, he will be on CW, SSB, RTTY and PSK31. Look
for Topband activity. Updates about his operation will be published on
the Web site at: http://www.7x0.sp5zcc.waw.pl/
You can also find there his on-line log and a guest book where you can
place your requests for a special band or mode. QSL via DL4DBR.
