Direttore Responsabile I2VGW
NOT THE MANAGER ---> Steve, 9M6DXX understands that the DX4Win program shows
a JA QSL manager for 9M6DXX. This is incorrect: this callsign has never been
issued before, and Steve has never had a QSL manager in Japan (or elsewhere).
The only correct QSL route for 9M6DXX is direct only (there is no functioning
QSL bureau in East Malaysia) to Steve Telenius-Lowe, WDT 527, 88905 Kota
Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Do not use his old address is in England, as Steve
left the country 8 months ago and mail is no longer being forwarded to him.
[TNX 9M6DXX]
QSL VIA IK2QPR ---> Paolo reports that effective immediately he is the QSL
manager for EK3GM and EK3AA (both were via DK6CW), as well as UK8OAM.

March till 12.UTC on the 19th. All of the relevant information can be found
at http://www.rdxc.org

need Western Sahara. The operation will take place on 11-16 April [425DXN
