the Island of Harris (EU-010) on 18-25 April. 2M0OVV, 2M0TXY,

(EU-096) on 8-11 April. He will operate CW, SSB and digital modes
on the HF bands, with main activity on 20-40 metres. QSL via home
call, bureau preferred. [TNX OH3OJ]
VK9M - The VK9GMW team on Mellish Reef is likely to go QRT on 12 April
around 20 UTC. While they have been operational sporadically on
SSB, they have given up on RTTY as "it is just too much for such a
small team". However, neither SSB/RTTY nor the high bands have
ever been a priority for the two operators: they clearly stated
from the very beginning that they specialize in low band
operations, and that their focus would be on 160, 80 and 40
metres. "Many large DXpeditions do a great job of working the high
bands, SSB and digital modes", they say, and "there is a very good
chance that one will be on Mellish Reef soon". Regular updates and
on-line logs (15,880 QSOs at 20.20 UTC on 9 April) can be found at
http://www.vk9gmw.com. QSL via HA7RY.

http://www.425dxn.org/monthly/index.html. Articles and pictures should be
sent to Nicola Baldresca, IZ3EBA.
3B7FQ ---> Although propagation and conditions were poor, Rachid, 3B8FQ
made 1,500 CW QSOs during his February activity from St. Brandon. He
operated just a few hours each day, in between maintenance on the
meteorological equipment on the island. Operation was concentrated on 30
and 17 metres, with limited activity on 40 and 20m. By the tenth day, the
battery was not recharging properly, which resulted in reduced power and
sending by hand key. Colour QSL cards have been printed and are being
mailed. The QSL manager for all of Rachid's operations is K5XK (Ron Evans,
2 Pembroke Drive, Bella Vista, AR 72715-8823, USA). [TNX K5XK]
