General information
Editorial by OZ6OM. First of all I want to whish the OZ50MHz DX Bul-
letin readers a Happy and Prosperous Newyear.
Next I want to announce some radical changes. - I expect this to be the
LAST issue of the OZ50MHz DX Bulletin.
The predecessor of the OZ50MHz DX Bulletin, went out back in 1989,
as the OZ1IZB (my previous call) band report. 1991 it became a real
weekly news bulletin, and 1992 brought the name OZ50MHz DX Bulletin.
   It have been published as such, for a decade, until now.
   But everything comes to an end - and so does the OZ50MHz DX Bulletin,
   unless a new editor is found to cary on !
   I have my well founded reasons to stop at this point. I have been
   trough surgery twice this year - this have autumn have been a row of
   up and downs. I feel this have had an effect at the my work with the
   bulletin, a.o. keeping the deadline.
   My intention is to keep the news page (breaking news), and focus at
   that one, perhaps together with a DXpedition calendar.
   Though, I lately have received acknowledgements for my work (thanks for
   the kind mails), I fell this is the time to stop the weekly issues.
   I hope for the readers understanding.
   I would like to thank following for their contribution to the 2002
   issues of the OZ50MHz DX Bulletin ...

   Ghana, 9G. DL1CW, Arno and DL3GA, Andy, hope to be on February 5 - 18
   from Ghana, 9G. They have requested the callsigns 9G5AP and 9G5GA res-
   pectively, with no confirmation of those yet. They plan to be on 80-10
   including WARC and 6M, CW, RTTY and some SSB. They plan to be in the
   WPX RTTY and ARRL DX CW contests. (QSP de The Daily DX #243).
 
   Chagos Isl., VQ9. VQ9LA, Larry (WD0HSP) recently retired from the U.S.
   Navy and has accepted a civilian contractor position on Diego Garcia
   in the Indian Ocean. He expects to be active as VQ9LA for at least the
   next year. He asks, when you work him, that you use standard interna-
   tional phonetics, since that's what he's used to as a U.S.Navy radio-
   man. He plans to be active on 80-6M RTTY, SSB, CW and FM. He currently
   does most of his operating on 17M at 14Z, trying to reach his family
   and friends in Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. His favorite frequency
   is 18130 kHz. He plans some special activity periods during the holi-
   days, December 24-25, 18125 - 18135 kHz from 16-20Z. QSL direct to DG21
   Larry Arneson, PSC 466, Box 24, FPO AP 96595-0024 or via VQ9X, Diego
   Garcia Amateur Radio Club, c/o MWR, PSC 466 Box 14, FPO AP 96595,
   Chagos Archipelago. USA stations include an SASE with first class U.S.
   postage. Non-U.S. stations send SAE with green stamps or IRCs to cover
   return postage. QSL cards are not yet printed. (QSP The Daily DX #243)
 
European meeting. Rick SM7SCJ, writes; Not exactly DX news, but ...
   some Eu sixers are planning a six meter gathering/barbeque, and we need
   people to sign up their (preliminary) interest in this event. Please
   have a look at http://195.178.230.244/bbq/index.htm for a description.
   We will need at least 75 people signed up, otherwise the event will not
   take place. Please have a look (and by all means sign up!) Rick SM7SCJ.
