INFO

H5 The homeland Bophuthatswana is now a part of the Republic South Africa. Therefore the H5 prefix will be QRV only until the end of the year. H5 does not count for DXCC but for the WPX and the All Africa award.

KH4 NH6D/KH4 will be QRV for two weeks sometime in April 1996. This island will be abandoned by the military in 1997.

TT8FT There were several wrong addresses of Frank Turek, DL7FT, published by different sources. DL7FT is not a member of the German Amateur Radio Club DARC and therefore answers only direct QSLs with some green stamps enclosed. Anybody who is interested in QSLs of DL7FT should send them to: DL7FT, Frank Turek, Box 1421, D-14004 Berlin, Germany.

XZ1N After the XZ1R DXpedition XZ1N is the second activity which had to be cancelled due to the reasons written in DX-NL 982. It seems that there will be no more amateur radio in Myanmar until the discrepancies between the military and several ministries were eliminated.

ZD8 Jim Neiger, N6TJ, will be QRV again as ZD8Z from April 16-24. He promise to be active on the usual DX frequencies but especially on 14160 kHz (2000 UTC) and 21250 kHZ (1900 UTC). QSL via VE3HO.

AFRICA Dieter, DJ3CP, writes that ST1AP who works for the UN will be QRV for another four weeks. Bernd, DK3LQ/6W1, belongs to the German embassy in Dakar and will be in 5T (Mauritania) starting March 23. He further writes that Sigi, DJ4IJ, will be QRV once again as TY1IJ some time this year. QSL via DK8ZD.

WANTED the edition number 001 or other early editions of the German DX-MB! Who can help?
