INFO

C5 The Berlin crew went on the air on schedule using the callsigns C56DX (SSB) and C56CW (CW/digital modes). Both stations are working 24 hours a day. Good receiving opportunities could be the reason that they were worked with 100 watts even on 80m/160m. The team will stay in Gambia until March 18. QSL via DL7DF.

JW Erik, SM0AGD, and John, SM0DJZ, plan to become QRV from Svalbard from March 14-18. They will work on 80m, 40m and 30m in CW/SSB/RTTY and via satellite signing JW/homecall and both will also take part in the BARTG RTTY-Contest. QSL via homecalls (new address of SM0AGD in Callbook 1996).

ZF John, NC8V, is on the air as ZF2JC/ZF8 from Little Cayman (NA-016) from March 15-21. He plans to work on the usual IOTA frequencies mostly in SSB but will make also some CW QSOs if requested.

ZK1/South Cook Bruce, AA8U, Stan, K8MJZ, and Marilyn, AG8W, are announcing their activity as ZK1AAU from Rarotonga during the IARU HF Championship in July. Before and after the contest they will be on the air using ZK1AAU, ZK1MJZ and ZK1AGW.
