3B9, RODRIGUES ISLAND. Robert, 3B9FR, was active this past week on 20 and
12 meters. Watch 14195 kHz around 1700z and 24950 kHz around 1445z. QSL
via the address on QRZ.com.
7Q, MALAWI. Allan, G0IAS, informs OPDX that Harry, 7Q7HB, will be back
in Malawi as of January 5th for "about" three months. Closely following
him will be the return of Les, 7Q7LA (The first 7Q to be re-issued with
a licence back in 1990). His length of stay is unknown at this time but
expect about three months. Allan states, "These guys will do anything to
get away from the Northern Hemispheres cold winter weather...after I have
seen the Doctor about my Asbestosis... I may join them ... who knows..?"
Allen also mentions that making a schedule with them may be possible.
Howvever, PLEASE, NO REQUESTS FOR 160M (it is too noisy) but almost
anything else might be accommodated...especially CW on the WARC Bands
this time around. A possible E-mail link may be set up for them (details
forthcoming), but for now all requests can be sent to Allan at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
All QSLs are still only DIRECT to G0IAS (NO BUREAU CARDS and also there
is NO 7Q Bureau).
A5, BHUTAN. Dr. Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, will once again head back here during
the month of February. Look for him to sign as A51B between February
3-26th. Activity will only be during his spare time. This trip will have
an emphasis on 80 meters CW around 3505 kHz (+/- QRM) during his mornings
and evenings. If conditions are not good look for him on 40 and 30 meters.
He does plan to be active on the higher bands after his sunrise. Glenn
also plans to be active in the CQ/RJ WW RTTY Contest (February 8-9th) and
the ARRL CW DX Contest (February 15-16th). QSL via direct to W0GJ.

on the DXAC, and has contributed a substantial amount of time and effort,
counsel and advice to make the DXCC a better program over past many years.
