General information

   Amsterdam Isl., FT/Z. Georges F8OP, writes; Caroline, FT1ZK, is now QRV
on 6 meters. All the equipment, transceiver and yagi, runs well. She is
listing every day on 50.110, waiting for an opening.. In a few days, a
beacon will start up on 50.086. QSL via F5JCB. Pay attention: FT1ZK is
not QRV on HF. If you hear this callsign, it's a pirate ! (info F5CW)
Georges F8OP

Galapagos Isl., HC8. Ramon, XE1KK, will be active from the Galapagos
Islands as HC8/XE1KK on HF, 6 meters and UO-14 from October 20-30th.
QSL via homecall bureau or direct. (QSP de OPDX #581)

Montserrat, VP2M. Dick K5AND/VP2MJD, writes; K5AND, W5OZI and W5LXG
will be operating from Montserrat from Oct. 31 thru Nov. 8. We will
be focusing on 50 mhz, of course, and will have an FT-897, 7el ant,
and 800 watts out. Great location for EU, AF and US. CW beacon on 155.
If there is propagation, we will operate split, listening up 5...but
I doubt that will be necessary. The call to be used will most likely
be VP2MJD. We will have 100 watts on 20-10 as well, but will make a
later announcement about freqs etc. We will have e-mail and internet
capability, but don't know the particulars yet. Please pray for flux,
one last time. 73 Dick K5AND/VP2MJD

Afghanistan, YA. First QSO on 6 meters with Afghanistan - Nick G4KUX
is very happy because it considers that he has achieved the first QSO
since in the band of 6 meters that is carried out from Afghanistan,
September 24 it achieved a contact at 1515z o'clock with the callsign
YA4F with the station F1OO in Indonesia. He/she hopes to be able to
offer a new country in 6 meters to many other operators of the world,
since it will continue very active in this band from Kabul during se-
veral weeks.(QSP de XE1BEF Bulletin #60)

Digimode - poposal. IK0FTA Sergio, writes; Hi to all, I don't want to
began a polemic discussion about the use, right or not, on DXcluster
spots on JT44, FSK441 or about the presence of Audio or Video. I'd
like to give my idea that would give the oportunity to put on the DX
cluster/Clx wrong info for the users of some cluster software using
DXCC alarms (for ex. FSK441 alarms like FS S.Martin, JT44 for JT Mon-
golia). My idea is simply: we have only to put a letter "Q" before the
call of the dx spot. At the same time I say that to inform you about
VIDEO or AUDIO Carriers we could always use the reference freq. of
50000. For example: dx 50250 qjt44 cq nord the results will be this
(without any alarm on our software cause Q prefix isn't in use) DX de
IK0FTA: 50250 QJT44 cq nord and also: dx 50000 qvideo qtf 120 DX de
IK0FTA: 50000 QVIDEO qtf 120 If you like my idea pse spread out ..
Any suggestion or comment will be welcome. 73 Sergio, IK0FTA.
(Sound like a fine idea to me. E.d. OZ6OM Matt)

South Cook Isl., ZK1. A QSP from Francesco IK8DYD, says; Arne, SM7AED,
wrote: Bengt, SM7EQL, and Ronnie, SM7DKF, will operate (SSB and CW) as
ZK1EQL and ZK1DKF from the Southern Cook Islands this month. They will
be active from Rarotonga, grid BG08 on 1-3 and 12-14 October and from
Mangaia, grid BG18 on 4-11 October. QSL via home calls. More informa-
tion at http://www.qsl.net/sm7eql/ Ronnie will use IC-706MkIIg and a
vertical for 6M.

French Polynesia, FO. Tony, 3D2AG, says the trip to Rapa Island, is
scheduled for October 27 to November 28. He'll be QRV as FO5RK on all
bands including 6 meters. Activity will be on CW and SSB with some di-
gital modes including PSK31 and MFSK16. Tony will be operating in his
spare time, as this is not the primary reason for being on the island.
For more information about this trip check out his Web page at
http://www.sat.net/~iref/rapapage.htm. (QSP de The Daily DX #185)

East Malaysia, 9M6. Mack, JJ2QXI, will be active from 9M6AAC's shack
between October 13-15th. Callsigns to be used will be 9M6A for the
Oceanian Contest and 9M6AAC for outside of the contest. Mack is plan-
ning to operate on 160-6 meters, including the WARC bands, on CW/RTTY/
SSB. QSL via N2OO. Mack states, "I know 9M6 is not so rare of an en-
tity, but I would like to take as much time as possible to be on the
air based on QSO requests." For any SKED on a particular band/mode or
comments, please visit the Web site at: http://jj2qxi.tripod.com (QSP
