QSL D2EB ---> There have been a few problems with the logs that needed to  be
sorted out. The backlog is now  expected to be cleared  in about two  months;
inquiries can be sent to iz3etu@libero.it [TNX D2EB]

QSL D4B &  D44AC ---> Mario,  IK3HHX is  receiving several  direct cards  for
contacts made with D4B and D44AC  in 2003. Please note  that the QSL  manager
for D4B is K1BV; as far as D44AC is concerned, IK3HHX can confirm (direct  or
bureau) only QSOs made from 21 March through 2 April 2002. [TNX IK3HHX]

QSL SM1TDE & SM1T ---> Eric has cleared  all the backlog for SM1TDE and  SM1T
(EU-020) dating back to summer 2002. All QSOs have now been confirmed via the
bureau. Eric will continue to be  active from Gotland  Island at least  until

occasional showings around 14260 kHz SSB. [TNX SM1TDE]

metres from  either the  Mount Athos  fire station  or the  new monastery  at
Sochos, near Thessaloniki.
