KH7K, KURE ATOLL. It has been announced that the DXpedition to Kure Atoll
by the Pacific DX Group, which was planned for mid to late October, has
been postponed due to "transportation problems." The PDXG feels that the
next possible opportunity for an operation to Kure will be late winter or
early spring 2005. The PDXG asks that all groups or individuals who have
contributed towards this operation or are thinking of contributing, to
please continue to support their effort as they work to raise the necessary
funding. The regional fund raisers can be contacted at:

funds-...@inix.com - Europe
funds-...@inix.com - Japan

General inquiries should be sent to: pdxg...@inix.com
OH0, ALAND ISLANDS. Oleg/ES1RA and Jaak/ES1FB will be active as OH0/ES1RA/P
and OH0/ES1FB/P, respectively, from September 7-10th. QSL via their home

QSL INFO AND NEWS......................
QSL LA3SRK/P via SM5SIC. Activity was from Hitra Island (EU-036)
during this past weekend's Reg1 Field Day. Operators were from the
Skandinavisk Radio Club. More info is available on QRZ.com under
LA3SRK.
NOT THE MANAGER. Graham, M5AAV, reports that he is NOT the QSL Manager
for 5W0SB. He does not have the logs or any cards, so consequently,
confirmations for this activation are only available DIRECT from I2YSB.
T33C BUREAU QSLS. Rob/PA2R and Flo/F5CWU have announced that this week
the first batch of OQRS QSLs will be sent via the bureau. So far around
2000 labels of max. 3 QSOs per label have been processed via OQRS, which
is a great number. Remember, registering QSOs will save the QSL Manager,
F5CWU, a lot of time to manually register all bureau cards and your
spending money on printing QSL cards. You also save time because
the time it takes to get your card to the QSL Manager is "0" days
instead of a year or more. QSOs made with T33C can be registered via
OQRS at: http://www.dx-pedition.de/banaba2004/
(Choose the Online Logs menu.)
The latest logs have been uploaded to the log search.
R1MV, MALYJ VYSOTSKIJ. "The Daily DX" reports that the R1MVI operation
has been rescheduled to take place September 10-12th. QSL via RA3AMG:
Denis Skobelkin, A.k. 698, LV-1010 Riga, Latvia. It is recommended to
use Denis's Latvian address instead of his Russian address.
S9, SAO TOME. Jorge, CT1EFV, will be a part of "Latitude Zero Equatorial
Challenge 2004". This challenge is humanitarian (they will be carrying
medicines to deliver to the mission of the AMI), cultural (they will
recoup a Portuguese school, deliver 6000 Portuguese books to the library
of Sao Tome) and also open new roads to impassable parts of the Island.
Half of the team will make use of local communications (VHF, telephones
and satellite) while Jorge will be operating the HF bands as S92LZ from
the Island of Sao Tome (IOTA AF-023) between September 19-26th, providing
conditions and logistics allow. He will use a Kenwood TS50S mounted
onboard a Land Rover and will make use of a G5RV antennas. QSL via
CT1EFV (QRZ.com).
SPECIAL EVENT. Alek, VK6APK, member of the Northern Corridor Radio Group,
states: "The state of Western Australia is celebrating its 175th anniversary
of existence this year. As part of the celebrations, the Northern Corridor
Radio Group Inc (VK6ANC) is activating the special callsign VI6175WA. The
callsign will be aired for the month of October. Its first operation will
be in the Oceania DX SSB Contest on the first weekend in October. After that
it will be used on the HF bands by individual members of the club. We hope
to have activity on all the hf bands and all modes during the course of the
month. More information will be posted shortly on <http://www.ncrg.org.au>
and also on QRZ.com. QSL cards have already been printed by UX5UO Print
<http://www.ux5uoqsl.com> and will be available for all contacts via the
manager, VK6NE, direct with return postage or via the bureau is fine."

TT8, CHAD. Francois, F6GYV, reports that he has received his new licence
and the callsign issued to him by the Tchadian Authorities is TT8FT. His
station in Ndjamena consists of a FT-847 Transceiver and dipole. Francois's
job is with the mobile telephone service, and he states this leaves him
with very little time to operate. Look for him to be on the air only during
his evening hours (Ndjamena time) and on Sundays. He states, "Some of you
have asked for 160 meters activity. I'll try to build an HM antenna with
my few own parts (nothing to find or buy for amateur radio gear here). More
information later." QSL via the French Bureau (via F6GYV) or direct to:
Francois Theveneau, Celtel Tchad, BP 5665, Ndjamena, Chad. ADDED NOTE
FROM FRANCOIS: "I apologize for my past stay in Mali but, because of my
job, I couldn't make a lot of traffic with my TZ8FT callsign."
TZ6, MALI. QSL Manager Dennis, PA7FM, informs OPDX that after his stay
in Niger, Michael, PA5M (5U7DX), is now in Mali until September 16th
(or possibly the 22nd per Ghis/ON5NT). When this was written, OPDX was
informed by ON5NT that Michael was in Bamako. He will be traveling around
the country, and in his spare time he will be active as TZ6M. He was
spotted this past week on/or around 14190 kHz after 1900z. As usual, he
has a Web site with online logs at: http://www.pa7fm.nl
ADDED NOTE: Michael, PA5M, will be one of the operators going to Peter I
Island in early 2005.
WFP NEWS. Ghis, ON5NT, in Dubai, UAE, provides the following updates of
amateur radio operators that are with the "UN World Food Program" (WFP)
in the following countries:
TT, CHAD. Robert, S53R (ex-YI9R, A52KR), is heading for Chad for
about a 10 day stay. He was expected to arrive there
around September 2nd. He has applied for a TT8RK or TT8KR
callsign. It is expected to hear him on the bands as early
as Monday, September 6th. Knowing Robert, this might be a
"mostly CW" operation. As he is there for work, he will
only operate during his spare time. QSL via K2PF.
ST, SUDAN. Dane, ST2T (S57CQ, ex-YI9T, A52DX), is still in the Sudan,
but not very active due to a heavy workload. However, he
was heard during this past weekend's All Asian Contest.
QSL via S57DX.
VARIOUS COUNTRIES. Michael, PA5M (5U7DX just recently), continues
his African trip. You might expect some activity between
now and the end of October from TZ, 9G and TY. Again, his
activity is work - dependent. QSL via PA7FM.
