There was one significant item which showed up as the transition from
UNTAET to Timor Leste occurred.
For a short while (a few months? - I don't remember the dates), Thor

Or, is there another on CW op there or is anyone who operates CW scheduled
to go to S. Orkney?

Bill,
The supply ship goes there in about a month. They will be changing
ops - Jose is leaving, Hannibal arriving (don't know his home call).

Gary,
There are currently 335 DXCC entities, so Honor Roll requires, at most, 326.
Anyway, anyone heard a Crozet station operating the past few days?
I found nothing on the cluster.

WHAT A NICE FEELING
I had that feeling many years ago. I really understand how do you
feel. CONGRATULATIONS TWICE:
1. For the HONOR ROLL obtained.
2. For made it in, probably the best mode... CW
This is a hobby. The BEST mode is the one you enjoy the most. If for

Several of you asked for the date of the London Times obituary of AC4YN.
It was last Saturday, April 6, in The Register section. I'm sure it
can be accessed on-line at the Times website.

Just read a wonderful half-page obituary from The Times of London for
Sir Evan Nepean, G5YN, ex-AC4YN, who died March 11, at age 92. For
all youngsters reading this, AC4 was originally the prefix for Tibet,
not North Carolina or Florida. AC4YN was very active from 1936-1939,

If you REALLY want those cards, I'd invest in going direct!

A question for any Japanese readers:
There's quite a lot of JD1 activity these days from Ogasawara, but
very little from Minami Torishima - especially on the low bands. Is
there any activity from Minami right now? Any expected in the near
future? By a low-band DXer?
Thanks and 73,
John,
It's not too difficult to find maps with DXCC country prefixes and/or
CQ Zones. However, ICOM publishes a fairly unique fold-up map with CQ
Zones on one side and ITU Zones on the other. Very useful -
especially for the IARU contest! The map also shows local time vs
UTC, including quarter and
Most Vietnamese licenses are for just the HF bands (I believe one has
to pay separately for each band!). But ARRL DX News said that Steve
3W2KHO is licensed for 10 through 40M SSB. Does anyone know if that's
really the case? The only cluster spots I've seen were on 15 and 20M
SSB.
John,
I believe there's some confusion between Honor Roll and DXCC listings.
Honor Roll (based on current Entities only) is published in QST every

will see the list in August QST, as was the case last year.
