Applications for this award will be accepted beginning July 2, 2001. 12 Meter DXCC certificates will be dated but not numbered. 12 meter credits will not count toward the DeSoto Cup competition until October 1, 2001, but they will be included in the DXCC Challenge totals. If you do not know what credits you have on 12 meters, you may contact DXCC for a copy of your record. Note: the 12-meter band was added to the printout on January 1, 2001. If you received a copy since then, you already have a copy of your 12-meter credits. This will help avoid duplicates and additional costs. If you have web access and can handle ADOBE (.pdf) files, contact DXCC at [email protected] for a copy of your record. If you do not have web access, please send a note to DXCC along with $2.00 for postage and handling. For further information, please contact DXCC at [email protected]

7O1YGF DXCC Status. Franz, DK1II, has informed Andy, NX1Q, that "it doesn`t look too good for getting a piece of paper from the Yemeni authorities." Dominik, DL5EBE, a member of 7O team was just recently again in Sana'a, where they "still have good relations with the responsible persons in the Ministry of Communications, but the answer he got there was not encouraging." Franz states (repeats), "we entered Yemen and did our operation, we had the firm oral promise, that our operation was approved by all relevant authorities and that we would get an approval in writing. Due to several circumstances which were not in our control and not caused by ourselves (!), there happened a change in mind......! But we assume, that we brought some movement in the issue of legalizing amateur radio in Yemen! This is the only info I can give you now! Sri!" 

Gil, F5NOD, reports that all FR/F6KDF/T QSLs received before April have been sent. If you didn't receive yours, please resubmit to F6KDF, the QSL Manager. Gil reminds everyone to put the name of your country on the SAE. Also, there will be NO QSL mailing before September ... 

Laurent, KM5M/F5JTL, informs OPDX that he has talked to Jean-Claude, TR8XX, who used to be his next-door neighbor in France. He told him that he is going back to France for the summer and QSL cards should be sent to his F2XX callsign/address while he is there. The Gabon post office doesn't always work well, and it would be a lot safer to send directly to his French address for the next 2 months. 

QSL Manager, Steve, KU9C, reports that he  expects the BQ9P QSL card to find its way to his doorstep on/about July 13th. However, due to some family commitments, he is going to be a bit slower than normal in getting these cards out, as he has some things scheduled in July that will keep him away from the QSL cards (yes, even QSL Managers take a vacation now and then!). He will begin processing the cards immediately, but as he has some 6500 envelopes to fill. He doesn't anticipate having the cards out completely before mid-August. He doesn't think that this will create any award submission problems, and he states he will do the best he can to improve on this schedule. When all direct cards are out, Steve will post a note. Steve requests to please not E-mail him asking him if he has your card or if he has mailed your card, etc...

I was told a few minutes ago that the special event station has been canceled because of thunderstorms in the area. I was about a half a mile away from the Canada Day site in Dorval about twenty minutes ago and the lightning was quite a sight! Again, sorry but that's the way it goes I guess...... Vernon"
