Hi,
here is the word from VE QSL Bureau. We forward the following
VY0 cards to managers:
VY0VDO and VY0O to VA3DO
VY0TA to VE2BQB
VY0RR to VE3LBZ
VY0AA to VA5DX
I have seen cards being answered via this bureau from
VY0AA and VY0TA.
Other VY0 stations go via VE8 QSL bureau, or this QSL bureau.

Re: [DXR] 9G1MR,TY68F,Vu2Au qsl and off topic:ic746 question
Miles, The problem with 9G1MR is not necessarily on the manager's side, but on the I QSL bureau side. I have not seen I QSLs via the bureau for quite some time. There is a lot of QSL links from http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy/qsl_tips.html You can easily find that TY68F goes via F5MOO (source OZ7R). IC746 is nice, compact and in-expensive after ICOM launched IC756PRO. Some people complain on its selectivity. However, I am using it in busiest RTTY contests without any problem, using only one filter. regards Nenad VE3EXY Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-news To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/ This is the DXR reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

Re: [DX-NEWS] IRCs
Folks, According to the postman in my Local Post Office, the old IRCs wil be exchanged 'forever', or better say until further notice. Meanwhile the new ones are on sale here in Canada. There are few observable differences: 1, It is big (post card size) 2. It has expiry date (December 31,2006) 3. It has barcode (and probably serial number) 4. It has the left stamp box optional 5. It has form number CN 01. The price is the same as for the Old IRC. 73 Nenad === Snail Mail : Nenad Stevanovic ( VE3EXY ) P.O.Box: 65046 Nepean, On, K2G 5Y3 C A N A D A E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PERSONAL URL : http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy VE QSL Bureau URL: http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy/bureau.html === --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

[DX-NEWS] P5 Info
P5/YT1AD would have the same structure of callsign as the current P5/4L operator which works of verbal agreement. Hrane was talking about the licensed call. Just before left, Hrane gave me the callsign which is not P5/YT1AD. However, the situation there may have changed. Also, the fact that they worked short on 40 mtrs indicates that they still did not have their beam set up (it is there since December). The only thing that fits is timing. It is already March 6-th there. Have no feedback for now, but will post as soon as I get something.

[DX-NEWS] P5 Wrap up
Last night I received the following info from hrane for release to DX community. 73 Nenad VE3EXY ... P.S. They are now back to Yugoslavia, with NO QSO made. = In one word it was a thrill !!! We arrived to Pyongyang on March 5-th, where we were welcomed by representatives of Ministry of Telecommunications and Foreign Affairs. We were stationed in YANGAKDO Hotel, on the bank of the river with the same name. The hotel has 47 floors, and we were on the 40-th floor, with almost ideal conditions for work. All our equipment was put together, and we were about to start our operation with previously assigned callsign P5A. Unexpectedly the uniformed military official appeared, and imposed ban on our operation, until the permission of military authorities is obtained. It was supposed to be available on March 8-th, but nobody showed up, possibly because of holiday. We did not want to risk starting unauthorized operation. Meanwhile we had fun listening all pirates pretending to be us, when we did not make a single contact. Finally, the military official showed up on Sunday and simply said: "No transmission until further notice." Than we did not have any choice but to leave. After landing in Beijing, our only comment was: Never Again !!! 73 Hrane YT1AD --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

Folks, Let us distinguish between two things: a. There is not explicit requirement that QSL manager should be licensed, or in posession of valid license. b. Completly different thing is is 'pretending' QSL manager was doing something wrong at present or in the past. When I asked HC2DX about QSL he said 'the problem has been fixed'. Is it? Anyone tried to get the credit? 73 Nenad VE3EXY --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

Charly,
The ink fading problem (as well as labels that eventually fall off the
QSLs) is why I am very happy the ARRL is finally awarding DXCCs on all
bands. If they waited much longer, the information on some of my old
non-replaceable QSLs would be faded beyond recognition. After the 30 meter
DXCC becomes reality (later this year), all my old cards that matter will
have been placed in the big DXCC computer memory at ARRL. God help us if it
ever fails (and isn't backed up!).
73,
Joe, W1JR

[DX-NEWS] KH1 Bulletin #1
Folks, Here is the first update on KH1 DXpedition. Team members have arrived to Tuvalu (T2) and are getting ready for their 6 days trip. They came there in two groups: First group: YU1AU, YU1DX, Z32ZM, ZS6MG, S56A, N6TSQ, LY3NUM, and USFW representative Mr Doug Forsell. Second group: YT1AD, RZ3AA, RA3AUU, RW3AH, KW4DA, and Mr Jordan Naydenov- photo and multir-media expert. They were welcomed with +33c tmperature, forcing team to take advantage of turistic attractions of the island. April 23. happend to be a holiday in Tuvaly, and it was not possible to get the license immediately. However in small community of 8000 or so people, was not difficult to find the Minister of Telecommunications and T2 licenses were ready in no time. Technically speaking, over dinner. There was some damage on one of AS3S elements, but was easily fixed. One of locals help them to put up the antenna on the palm tree !!! It appears this is not the first time he is doing the same thing. The following calls are active: T25A QSL via: YT1AD, T2X QSL via: RW3AH, T23A QSL via: RZ3AA, T2DA QSL via: KW4DA. In general conditions are poor, as a result of unfavourable acitivity of the Sun. Even in such conditions they made 2000 QSOs the first night, using IC-756PRO-II + ACOM-1000. If the wheather conditions do not deteriate significanly, the arrival to KH1 is expected on April.28 at 04:00z with first QSO scheduled for 22:00z on the same day. Callsign is known, and will be 1x1. News will be available at web site: http://www.kragujevac.co.yu/KH1 or http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy Hope the sea will not be rough, and they will safely arrive, and come back. 73 Nenad VE3EXY --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

[DX-NEWS] K1B: Good news/bad news
Hi, Here are some news about K1B. Good news: == There were some concerns about the beginning date of the DXpedition. Baker Island is close to the Date Line, and is in GMT+11 zone. All times in the license apply to local time. Since the team has arrived earlier than planned there was a dilemma when to start the operation. Problem was solved in the win-win situation in that the license was altered to include more days and cover the period of early arrival to the island. Thanks in the name of the whole Team.

Folks, We are constantly sending your comments/requests to the team on KH1. We received the feedback that the messages are arriving to the Island, and they will try to re-adjust their operation to satidfy your proposals. This morning they hit 7 MHz window opening for the East Coast at right time, and made many East Coasters happy. There was 25000 QSOs made in the first 72 hours of operation, in spite of poor propagations, particularly on lower bands. They are trying to send logs, but are experiencing technical difficulties. Will keep trying. Still have no feedback on 6 mtrs operation, as well as why they do not operate on 30 mtrs. We asked them for clarification and operation plans relevant to those bands. 73 Nenad VE3EXY ... --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

Hi all, Here are latest news from Hrane. There was excellent opening for East coast on 80 mtrs (09:00-10:00z) this morning, as well as 30 mtrs an hour before. However, the team was working mostly JA at that time. 73 Nenad ... Folks, It is Wednesday May.01 at 21:00 local time (GMT -11). Our QSO-meter is now at 35.000 with 15.500 CW, 17.400 ssb, and 2100 RTTY QSOs in the log. We continue to work all bands, all modes, and are trying to work EU as much as possible. There was lots of rain last night, but we did not have any problem at all, except the number of crabs increasing. On Thursday we will start working SSTV, and a day later on satellites. We still hope to be successful in sending logs, and we keep trying. 73 Hrane (from Baker Island) --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/

[DX-NEWS] K1B: Update May 03.2002.
Folks, Not much to add today, other than that another 'batch' of 10.000 QSOs is in the log (still not on-line). This seems to be the daily average. There was very good opening on 80(CW) this morning, as well as on 40 (SSB), and 160. Many QSOs are made between 07:00 and gray-line time window. Unfortunately no 30 mtrs today. I have updated my web site with more-less known links and the first picture that arrived yesterday. http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy We may have SSTV QSOs today. Other digital mode QSOs are already measured by the thousands (RTTY, PSK). The size of the files appears to be the problem for shipping the logs. If they chop the logs into pieces, the phone bill may happen to be everything but symbolic. All your yesterday's feedback messages have been passed over to the team.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: May 04.2002 Update
Hi All, The 6-th day of operation has passed very smooth. 45.000 QSOs water mark was passed as well. The pile-ups are getting smaller, primarily on higher bands. I personally made 5 QSOs last night on 3 bands and 3 modes within 90 minutes on 21/24/28. (22:45z-00:20z). This should be good opportunity for 'small pistols'. Following strong demand they started 10 MHz operation at 07:30z, with light weight pile-up. Was easy to work even with 100W and dipole. They remain active on lower bands at gray-line windows for EU, and North America. My observation that they start too late for EU on lower bands. About an hour earlier should be better. Specially tonite they were QRV for General class on 7025. This is also in response to your demands. There was a lot of RTTY/PSK QSOs, but I have not seen any SSTV spots. Not sure if they worked that mode yesterday. I have seen couple of spots on 6 mtrs from VK. This is probably in response to demands for this band operation that we passed to the team earlier.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: May 5. 2002 Update
Hi All, Another smooth day on Baker island. There was no problem reported other than 'human material fatigue'. The DXpedition is already a week in progress with constant pileups. There were couple of operations conducted in response to your high demand. 7 MHz SSB was made earlier this morning, as well as 14 MHz CW early last night (op YU1DX). I still think they are saving 14 MHz for final days 'crescendo' when they start packing other stations. Low bands were worked early today at usual times except 160 mtrs.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: May 06.2002. Update
Hi All, Was a bit late this morning waiting for on-line logs to be posted. Aparently they will be there later today, since they have been received in Canada. Last confirmed number is well above 67.000 QSos. This already overshadowed the PW0T record set earlier this year. Good news for Light Houses hunters. Light house was spotted in the picture and will be added to the list of Lighthouses. Here is the quote from Ted W8TTS: " In doing some research I've noted that there was a lighthouse on Baker Island. And, as the Lighthouse List Keeper for the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLHS), I was wondering, if the QSL card haven't been printed yet, if the ARLHS number could be included. It is: ARLHS BAK-001 Baker Island Lighthouse" More modes were added yesterday. More SSTV, and 10 Mtrs FM icluded. Some operating schedule changes corrections for EU, and NA were made to enable more DX QSOs specially on lower bands. Many people worked them on new band/mode. No reports on satellites, or 6 m activity. Now it is time to start packing. Here is the latest news from Hrane YT1AD. enjoy reading 73 Nenad ... There is 35 hours to go !! The KH1 operations will terminate on 7.May 2002. at 18.00 GMT !!! >From here we go back to T2, and the following stations will be active 11.05-13.05 2002: T25A - yt1ad T23A - rz3aa T2X - rw3ah T26U - ra3auu T2DA - kw4da T2QS - n6tqs T27M - zs6mg will be qrv cw, ssb, rtty On our way to Dayton we will also stop-by at Fiji and be active 13.05-16.05 2002.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: The Announcement
Folks, Another Hamvention is over, and we are all back home. I am now ready to make long expected K1B announcement The Hamvention was the opportunity to meet people, many of whom I've never met before. K1B team arrived directly from Baker Isl. via Chicago and was very tired, with lots of stories, and even more pictures and souveniers. I had the chance to talk to almost all K1B members that were in Dayton, and present them concerns raised on this and other reflectors. We tried to address each of those concerns and turn them into win-win for everyone. Equipment: == Lots of heavy equipment was left on Fiji for future operations. When they are going to happen depends on your generousity relevant to donations (see below). Lighthouse: === K1B team memebrs confirmed, the lighthouse on Baker island is authentic, and may count towards BAK-001 credit if the award managers accept the K1B cards. Also told to Hrane to include LH reference in the data printed on the card. Logs: = There were some concerns about on-line logs posted early Thursday last week. Be advised that logs were sent piece-wise, and some errors may have happened inadvertantly. Do not panic! Send the cards for your QSOs, since the original logs are saved, and will be back home with the team. K1B QSL-ing: Talked to Hrane, and Roman about your concernrs relevant to sending cards to RU, and YU. They said that 2 IRC should work fine for the letter up to 20 gr. When sending to Yugoslavia add Serbia & Montenegro to the address. Hrane's address published on the KH1 web page is authentic, even a bit short. 3D2CY QSLs: === Hrane himself is taking over QSL-ing for this operation. Wait another 2 wks, and if you do not receive the card send it again to Hrane's address, but in a SEPARATE envelope. Donations: == Many of you asked me how to send cash (no cheques please) donations for the expedition. I talked with Hrane and we made the following deal: There will be one month open window to send your cash donations to ME (VE3EXY). From now till June 20. I'll be collecting cash donations and hand them over to Hrane directly. Those who send QSLs with cash donationis, will have the priviledge to have their cards handed over as well. Make sure to supply SA(S)E, with sufficient postage in addition to your donation. You still need two SAEs; one for SSB and one for all other modes if you send cards with donations. If you provide e-mail, your donation will be confirmed via e-mail. Use multi QSO cards as much as you can. If you still want to contribute after June 20-th please do so to Bill K6NDV (alias K6ND). REMEBER, I am NOT the QSL manager for K1B DXpedition. My PO BOX acts as drop-box for cash donations, and QSLs for donors. Hurry up, your one month window of opportunity is ticking. If you send the cards without donation, I'll bulk re-mail them and it will actually be slower with greater risk, than as if you sent them directly to relevant managers (YT1AD, and RZ3AA). Till the next mission 73 Nenad VE3EXY === Snail Mail : Nenad Stevanovic ( VE3EXY ) P.O.Box: 65046 Nepean, On, K2G 5Y3 C A N A D A E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PERSONAL URL : http://www.magma.ca/~ve3exy === :wq! :wq! --- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
[DX-NEWS] K1B: Hrane's DXpedition Wrapup
Folks, Here is the final K1B report from Hrane. regards Nenad === Finally, "Home sweet home", after so much travel, climate changes, jet lag, and inevitable visit to Dayton Hamvention. We are still very tired, we still struggle with jet lag, but all of this disappears after seeing what was written world wide about the K1B DXpedition, and what we exerienced at Dayton Hamvention. Here is the K1B DXpedition recap: CREW: yt1ad,yu1au,yu1dx, z31fu(zs6mg)z32zm,rz3aa,ra3auu, rw3ah,ly3um, kw4da, n6tqs, kd7rcd,s56a, mr. Doug Forsell, US FW officer. COSTS: $102.000 US IMPORTANT DATES: April.20: Meeting at LAX Airport, and taking exams at the airport. April 22: Arrival to Fiji with team split into two groups: yt1ad, rz3aa,rw3ah,ra3auu,kw4da,kd7rcd went to Tuvalu by plane. They made the following score: yt1ad-t25a 3600 qso's rz3aa-t23a 1400 qso's ra3auu-t26u 1500 qso's kw4da-t2da 1100 qso's T2 total7600 qso's All others travelled by ship. April 25: Departure to Baker Island. April 27: Arrival to Baker island at 05:00 USA camp assembled first. First QSO with JH1HDT. Other two camps assembled in next 48 hours. EQUIPMENT: The following was the equipment used: USA camp; generator 4,5kW, antennae: MA5B (14,18,21,24,28) mosley 3 el short LP version 14,21, 28 MHz 2 el 6 m bim, all @ 6-9 m.,dipole 40/30 m rig's: IC 756 pro Ii x 2, IC 706 LPA 400 W Serbian camp: generator 4,5 kW,antennae A3S (14,21 28 MHz) vertical Rv4c 7,14,21 28 MHz, dipole 10 MHz vertical 3,5/3,8 MHz, 5 el 50 Mhz, @ 6 m. ground mount verticals with radials in the ocean. LPA ACOM 1000, AL 811 with ic 756 pro II, TS 570 s, and FT 100 (backup for 50 mhz) Russian camp: generator 5,5 kW, antennae, MA5B 14,18,21,24,28 MHz, A3S 14,21,28 MHz, Battlecreek special (1,8, 3,5, 7) beams @ 6 i 9 metara. LPA ACOM 1000, Al 811 rigs: IC 756 pro II 2 x, FT920 IC-756 rigs were constantly turned on and did not experience any problem even at temperature well above 40c (100F). ACOM 1000 was fenomenal, easy to tune on all bands (1.8-50 MHz). Supressors were burnt on one of AL811, but were easily fixed. Twice the 5.5 kW generator was broken, but fixed on spot. The only incident we had was when on of 7 mtrs boats capsized over the huge wave, and injured Miki and Hrane. However both of us continued our operation, and the equipment carried by boat was recovered. Besides this incident, we did not have any problem, other than unbearable heath, and millions of crabs and birds. Mr. Forsell's advices in those situations were more than helpful. He was the USWF representative and without him we would not be even allowed to reach the island. Once again thanks to the USFW service in Honolulu, specially Mrs. Beth Flint! The Baker Island operation came to an end on May 07-th with the following QSO breakdown cw/ssb 89898 QSOs, 4708 rtty QSOs, 446 PSK QSOs and 75 sstv QSOs. On our way back we stopped by on Fiji and made several thousand QSOs with the following breakdown: yt1ad-3d2ad: 640 qso kw4da-3d2cw: 720 qso rw3ah-3d2af: 1750 qso ly3num-3d2um:2230 qso n6tqs-3d2qs 150 qso zs6mg-3d2mg 1230 qso == total 6720 qso k1b95.127 T2 7.200 3d2 6.720 -- K1B+T2+3D2= 109.047 Total number of QSOs in the K1B log is: 95.127 which is the all times record for operation from uninhabited island with no facilities, and powered by generators. QSL cards for SSB operation go to RZ3AA, all others to YT1AD. There was a special box opened in Moscow for this purpose. YT1AD address is Dr. Hrane Milosevic, 36206 Vitanovac, SERBIA-MONTENEGRO (Yugoslavia)!! (Added by Nenad: QSL cards with donations go to VE3EXY between now and June 20., but will be mailed from YU/RU). QSL cards are expected from print shop mid June, and the first mailings around the first week of July. Please do not send too many inquires about QSL. Please visit http://www.kragujevac.co.yu/kh1 for more details including link to on-line logs. Special thanks to pilot stations YU1AA, and VE3EXY, web masters 4N1FG@4N1NM, and log master VA3NA.

Folks, I was absolutely amazed with the overwhelming support for this activity. The donations are coming at constant rate, even with very few days left before window of opportunity closure. So far I confirmed the receipt of all donations that I could. I have received about three dozens of letters with considerable donations, that I am not able to cinfirm for the following reasons: 1. You did not supply e-mail address, 2. You did but it is hidden (maybe printed on your card) 3. You did but it is uninteligible. Being bounced back. 4. One you provided is not in service. I'll be more than willing to confirm any outstanding request for confirmation.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: Mission Accomplished
Folks, Let us start the day with very good news. I just cam back from YU and have K1B donors' cards with me. They are ready to be mailed today from VE. What Happened? As promissed I kept the window opened for donations till late June. I collected all of your donations, cards SAEs, and carried them over to YU. What happened was that I arrived on the same day wehn the cards came from the print shop (www.QSLL.com), on July 6-th. We made immediate lan of action to process donor's cards before all other 4000+ that were waiting almost a moth for the QSL cards to be printed. Said done. It took us two days to carefully check all 200+ donors' requests, including specials like 3D2CY, 3D2CI, T25A etc. They are all processed immediately as well. With special consent from Roman, in order to speed up the process, we processed SSB cards as well, since hrane has all logs. The only non-processed cards are T2/3D2 cards that belong to those RU operators for which we did not have the log. The cards will be carried carefully to RU- land on the first opportunity. In short, there was almost 1000 QSOs processed (average 5 QSOs per donor for K1B on all modes), plus 100 QSOs for other calls. We also had time to process donors' cards that arrived directly to Hrane, and they will be mailed shortly. All other 4000 requests will be processed in the order they arrived. Expect simething in your mailboxes from YU, or VE. Once again thanks for your donations. Total of $1650 US was given to Hrane. last day hrane and I have gon into different destinations: He is going to OH land (team #53), and I am back to Canada.

[DX-NEWS] K1B: EPILOG
I have been pretty busy last two weeks first shiping you the K1B cards, and than sorting VE QSL bureau backlog made during my 3 wks vacation. I have been reading your mail, but did not have chance to respond, even after seeing couple of misconcepts in your mail. I would not consider them intentional, rather the result of inadequate information. What was the K1B mission in the first place? After the DXpedition was over, many people were more than pleased with the great achivement of the team, and expressed their interest in sending donations AFTER the DXpedition. The number of those requests increased after the DXpeditions costs were made public ($100K US). However, many of you did not have the confidence in postal system and asked me if I can help. In this sense, the whole action is initiated by YOU, not by anybody else. The latest on our mind was to condition cards to donation, as some of you tried to misinterpert. I usaually never do anything before I think twice. The Hamvention in Dayton was the opportunity to make details of the plan, after discussion with all parties involved. The whole plan was made public in an anouncement that was published right after Dayton on this and other lists. We did not expect more than 50 such contributions. However, your response was ovrwhelming. I received almost 250 donations. Having long term QSL Bureau experience in handling large number of QSLs, I made my own records of all cards and donations that were received, opened each and every letter, and responded to those who asked for confirmation. This had twofold effect: To reduce the luggage weight, and to send the list of requests IN ADVANCE to YT1AD. For those of you who never handled large volume of mail, such a trivial action as opening the envelope, or placing the stamp, becomes elaborate taks when done in volume of hundreds or thousands. Let alone the time spent. When I arrived to YU, the situation was such that QSL cardis have arrived from the printer just a day before, and almost none of 4000 K1B requests was processed, or even the letters opened. When I came with 250 nicely sorted and opened letters, including the list sent before my arrival, the choice was obvious: Process them first. Also the decision was made to process SSB cards to avoid long time consuming manual transport to Moscow. In record time all requests have been processed, logs checked, and to save the tame for Hrane and his team to start processing another 4000 requests, I took an action to seal the envelopes, place the stamps, and rubberstamp the return address after my return to Canada. This action paid off. While I was getting ready to return in Canada, the team processed another 200 requests and handed them to me at Belgrade airport, literally minutes before plane departure. In that sense we can only say 'Hats down' to such dedication. Now on this side of the pond the process was pretty streightforward. Within a day or two all mail was sent, and as per confirmations seen on this list, many are already received. The most important of all. In a phone call 20 minutes ago, I have the latest infrmation on K1B cards progress. 2500 reiquests have been processed and sent last week (ending July 20), and another 1000 this week. This is in addition of several hundred 3D2CY requests (received from Z32AU) that are also processed. I hope this conludes the discussion on this topic on this list. K1B DXpedition goes into history as one of the gratest DXpeditions of this kind.
