Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, N1HRW, W1EKT, WB2RAJ/WB2YQH & The 59(9) DXReport, W2CE, K4MD, K4ZW, KI4RU, N6RT, K8JP, K8YSE, DL3KUD, F6AJA & LNDX, HB9HFN, JA6VZB, LA4KQ, OH2BVE, OK1KT, VA3DX, VK4AAR and VE9AA for the following DX information. SPECIAL EDITOR'S NOTE: My family (wife/OPDX's chief proof-reader Linda, Tedd [TJ], Katie) and I (KB8NW) would like to wish all DXers, Contesters and OPDX readers a very "Happy Holiday and Season's Greetings". Also, we would like thank the many who have contributed information over the year (there are too many to list). Without them there would not be an OPDX Bulletin. 8P, BARBADOS. Glenn, VA3DX, reports to OPDX that he will be active again as 8P9DX, from January 18th to February 1st. His time and activity will included the CQ 160 Meter CW Contest (January 23-25th). He will be active on all bands. QSLs should be sent to VA3DX or VE3ICR and not to the 8P QSL bureau!! CU1, AZORES. Matt, DL3KUD, will be going here again between December 29th and January 7th. He will be active from Santa Maria Island (IOTA EU-003) as CU1/DL3KUD. His planned operations will be on the Low-Bands (especially 160m) and the WARC bands. Activity will be on CW and probably some RTTY (his first steps in RTTY, please be patient!). His suggested frequencies (+/-QRM): 1834, 3504 (QSX 3527), 7004, 10104, 18074, 24894 kHz. QSLs will be answered via bureau. If possible, do not send any QSLs direct. DXPEDITION PACIFIC 98' is what the main sponsors (ALCATEL CZECH and the Czech DX Foundation [OKDXF]) are calling this operation. Members of the OFDXF will be heading for the multi-stop trip to the Pacific with the following itinerary: Departure is from Praha Feb 18 - to Frankfurt and the same day land in Los Angeles Feb 20 - from LA to Papetee/ Tahiti Feb 24 - from Papetee to Rarotonga and the same day flight to Aitutaki atol March 4 - from Rarotonga to Tonga via Nadi (the same day) March 14 - from Tonga to W. Samoa March 23 - from W. Samoa to Fiji April 1 - from Fiji to Hawaii and then to Europe. If possible, the group might divide during the stop on Western Samoa and try spend few days on American Samoa. Operators will also have a license for Rotuma Island, but due to transport problem, nothing is sure. The operators will be OK1TN, OK1KT and OK1VD. They will be equipped with PAs as well as beams for the WARC bands and 20-10 meter and a vertical for the 40 meters band. If possible, at least two stations will be on the air. Callsigns will be announced later, and a all mode operation is expected on the usual DX frequencies. QSL information is via: OKDX Foundation, P.O.BOX 73 Bradlec, 293 06 Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic. ADDED NOTE: During the process of planning there appeared a possibility to activate Midway Island for a week or ten days. Unfortunately, it could not be possible without additional charges (not very high - it is only a hop from Hawaii), so any donations would be very appreciated. HB0, LIECHTENSTEIN. Kazik, DL2SBY, will be active from here December 27th through January 3rd. He will be active on both CW and SSB. Check the DX Nets on 14226 or 14247 kHz. For CW, look for him at the bottom of the band edge. QSL via homecall. HP, PANAMA. Gerard, F2JD/HP1XBI, is headed back to France after more than 21000 QSOs. He will be back in Panama in the middle of January for two more months. IOTA NEWS. Herve, F5RMY, and some other operators will be using the callsign TM5CRO from Porquerolles Islands (IOTA EU070) from January 14-20th. They will be active on CW and SSB from 160-10 meters. QSL via F5RMY. IOTA SURVEY BE CONDUCTED. Chris, N1HRW, reports, "The Islands on the Web Website is conducting a web-based 'Top Needed IOTA Islands' Survey. This survey will be used to generate a list of the most needed IOTA islands in the world and the percent of IOTA chasers needing them. IOTA Chasers can take part in the survey by filling out a form on the IOTW website at: http://islandchaser.com (go to the "Survey" section of the site). The IOTA need list form can be E-mailed to "n1hrw@islandchaser.com", or send the list to Chris Taron N1HRW, 607 Harwood Ct., Champaign, IL 61820. The survey has been ongoing and runs until 0000z January 10, 1998. Survey results will be displayed on the site on Jan 10. NEW OFFICIALS. The Carolina DX Association held elections for 1998 at their annual Christmas dinner and meeting. The following will serve for 1998: President - Joe Simpkins, K4MD; Vice-President - Cliff Wagoner, W4WN and Secretary/Treasurer - Gary Dixon, K4MQG. Also, serving the Club for another year as the editor of their monthly newsletter will be Don Daso, K4ZA. The Pileup, their newsletter, is on the internet at the URL address: http://www.cdxa.org QSL INFO AND NEWS.......... Fernando, EA4BB/D2BB, reports to OPDX that the QSL route for D2BB is now Joe, W3HNK. He states he will be sending him all the logs and will keep on doing so in the future. SPEAKING OF JOE! Joe, W3HNK, recently gave Doug, N6RT, a list of all the stations he handles QSLs for. Hope this will be useful for everybody: 1X5AA...4S7DA...AP2TJ...BV2BI...C51A...CM8TW...CO8TW...

N4BQW/KH5 PALAMARA QSLS. Mac, WA4FFW, reports that the cards received to date for the recent operations are in the process of being verified, and it is expected that all cards will be mailed by the middle of January and should be in everyone's hands certainly by the end of January. It is apparent that Chuck had some help in the form of a pirate. Mac reports that he has observed cards for days Chuck was not on Palmyra Island. Chuck did not operate from Kingman Reef, so contacts with N4BQW/KH5K are definitely no good. Mac asked for everyone to be patient as this is the Season and everyone is very, very busy. (TNX Mark McIntyre) QSLs for JW5VK, JW1BJA and JW4KQ, which were active during December 12-15th to Svalbard, Spitsbergen Island (IOTA EU-26), the Longyear Town, should go to the following QSL Managers: JW5VK and JW1BJA via LA5VK; JW4KQ via LA4KQ. QSLs for the recent JY8ZW operation go via K4ZW (ex KE9A): Ken Claerbout, 10 Clover Hill Dr., Stafford, VA 22554 Z21AV CORRECT ROUTE AND ADDRESS REPORTED. The correct address for this station is: Ron Peacock, POB 631, Kwekwe, Zimbabwe, Africa CY9AA QSL CARD STATUS. Mike, VE9AA, reports in a brief note that all the artwork, pictures, etc. have finally been done up and couriered to their QSL-card sponsor, WJ2O, a couple of weeks ago. Mike states, "Dave is likely very busy during the holiday season, so please be patient waiting for your CY9AA VHF & HF cards. Once I get them back from Dave, I intend to work on them every weekend I am home. I am presently attending college AWAY from home, so I won't be able to get them out probably as quickly as I would like, but they'll get out eventually. (FEAR NOT!)" VK0ANARE (Revised route again!). Alan, VK4AAR, informs OPDX that Tom Stokes, VK0ANARE, has now returned to Australia from Macquarie Island, and regrettably, he has made a sudden decision to handle his own QSL cards for that operation. Alan states, "I have no control over his decision (which I suspect are a bit rash). I hope the DX community will be able to keep up with his changes. I will send him all the requests that have already come to my address, there is no need to re-QSL! Effective IMMEDIATELY the address for VK0ANARE is: Tom Stokes, c/o VK1AUS, POB 2063, Kambah Village, ACT 2902, Australia." Alan is still the manager for VI0ANARE. They are totally separate operations. VI0ANARE was from 1st July 97 until 23rd October 97. VK0ANARE was from 25th October to 31st October 97. The direct address for VI0ANARE is: Alan Roocroft, c/o Post Office, Dalveen, QLD 4374, Australia (Bureau cards go ONLY to VK4ARB....not VK4AAR!). SOUTH PACIFIC DXPEDITION. Cedric, HB9HFN, informs OPDX that he and HB9DLZ will be active from Tonga and Western Samoa.

Antennas will be 2 phased HF2V's - like in XF3/OH3JF expedition where their 80m signal in Europe was very strong with this antenna set-up. In addition they have a Cuscraft X7, A3WS and R7000. For top band they have two antennas and for some other purpose G5RV. They will operate from SanBenito which is at the lake, Lago Peten Iza. This QTH is on the northern part of Guatemala, and there is a clear view over the lake towards Europe, as the stations will be located by the lake. QSL via the bureau or direct to calbook addresses: RTTY via OH6XY and CW/SSB via OH3JF. V2, ANTIGUA.

I e-mailed him about the use of HAM gear on Marine Bands. He told me all the boater use HAM gear in the Marine Bands. I was under the understanding HAM gear can not be used on Marine Bands. Something about type acceptance. Or is this only in the U.S. you may not use HAM gear in Marine bands. So you have to buy two radios, and pay taxes twice? 73 KQ6TG ...

I suggest you start with the ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook. This is available at local libraries and most big book stores. If you like what you read, you might consider a career in electronics, such as an engineering education or at least become an electronics technician. The book you have will get you through the test, but ham radio is just the tip of the elctronics iceberg. I have been an engineer for most of my life and find the subject fascinating. New things are happening all the time, and there are fun things to do. Many of them can get you a big income, so that's not too hard to take either! I did start a little cottage business repairing ham gear but think that I might get another engineering job soon. It's fun! 88 ES 73 DE K6DDX --- Maximus 3.00 * Origin: Mysteria * Tujunga, Ca * 818-353-8891 (1:102/943) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 135 AMATEUR RADIO Ref: EGT00004 Date: 12/22/97 From: SCOTT HUFFMAN Time: 11:57am \/To: IVY IVERSON (Read 2 times) Subj: Re: Local regulation of CB II> areas... the lids have taken over so many repeaters in some parts of the II> country that Hams who want to do serious hamming can't do so because of II> all the "Good buddies" yakking away with their phoney southern drawl. It It is exactly for this reason that I have never been enchanted with the idea of engaging in HAM radio transmission. So instead I choose to merely listen n with my scanner. No.. before you agree with me about those annoying people who "waste the precious aiwaves", you should realize that I am on the exact opposite side of you. I am annoyed by all the people over the years who have gotten on my nerves with their talk of "serious hamming". In my 15 years as a scanning enthusiast I have definately come to the conclusion. That THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "SERIOUS HAMMING".. AND ANYONE WHO MAKES SUCH A STATEMENT SEEMS TO SUFFER FROM SOME INNER PROBLEMS OF SELFISHNESS WHERAS THEY THINK HAT WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY IS ANY MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT THE NEXT GUY HAS TO SAY. Personally, I find 98 percent of what occurs over the wiareves to be a bunch of useless bullshit.. But thats exactly what the airwaves are for! They are for people to utilize as they see fit, be their useage important or not important.. "serious hamming".... fooey.. Unless it constitutes an emergency situation..Or your transmitted vital scientific information.. Then whatever it is, that you have to say, likely isnt much more important than the next guys conversation.. This is from the viewpoint of a silent observer who monitors the airwaves and has been doing so for a long time.. Everyone thinks that their own conversation is the end-all-be-all of importance, but from a scanner enthusiasts perspective, your likely just spouting the same drivel as everyone else.. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Brian's World (516)-331-5540 Long Island, NY (1:2619/232) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 135 AMATEUR RADIO Ref: EGT00005 Date: 12/21/97 From: CHARLES MOODY Time: 09:44pm \/To: ELDEN LAFFOON (Read 2 times) Subj: Not in our town...
