INFO

6W Didier, F5OGL, will be on the air from Dakar for two years starting in July 1996. He intends to be active on all bands from 10m-160m in CW/SSB/RTTY and will also try to activate the neighboring countries (e.g. 5T and C5). QSL via F6KEQ.

JW JW5HE (via OZ8RO), JW6RHA (via LA6RHA) and JW9THA (via LA9THA) are already on the air. They prefer to work in CW on 40m (7015 kHz) and and 20m (14020 kHz) until April 15.

ZD7VJ Andy, G4ZVJ, became QRV like announced and showed up on all bands. Lucky OMs catched him on the lowbands and in the afternoons also on 10m and 12m.

ZL8RI It is a great pleasure for all CW operators to hear that Peter, ZL3GQ, is a new member of the Kermadec Island DXpedition. The crew will depart from New Zealand on April 30. The DXpedition goal is to log 40.000 QSOs. Due to the high transportation costs (25.000 US-$) they appreciate any donations via Ken, ZL2HU, who will also handle the QSL cards of ZL8RI.
