the DXpedition expenses AND whose cards  were received through the  beginning

the contributor cards as well as the non-contributor cards. Bureau cards will
be processed  at an  appropriate  time in  the  future. Please  refrain  from
e-mailing the  QSL  manager (N2OO)  at  this time.  When  the cards  are  all
processed, he will then gladly assist with any QSL issues. [TNX K0IR & K4UEE]

QSL YX0A/YX0LIX  ---> Steve  Wheatley, KU9C  has received  the logs  for  the
YX0A/YX0LIX operation, as  well as a  flood of  emails relative  to QSOs  not
being in  the  log, or  incorrect  band/mode. "You  can  trust  that  I  will
thorougly examine each of  your QSOs against  the log", he  says, "and do  my
best to ensure that you get credit for each QSO that match the log entries. I
suspect many of the issues raised in the emails will be resolved". Steve asks
not to  include QSLs  for other  stations he  manages with  your  YX0A/YX0LIX
cards, as this this will  substantially delay your  QSL return. Bureau  cards
will be honoured and logs will be posted on LOTW (even though not in the near
future).
