please contact the officer in charge, Alex Gyorfi, HA7UW
(mrasz-qsl.bureau@freemail.hu). [TNX HA1AG]

(including his other prefixes). The previous QSL manager (Peter's father

XF4DL ---> The DXpedition to Isla Socorro, Revillagigedo [425DXN 801] will
emphasize PSK63 during digital mode operations. "We know that PSK63 is for
sure not one of the very popular modes and very uncommon for a major
DXpedition like ours", Juergen, DL8LE says. However, "its excellent
properties" should allow "many more digital mode QSOs than possible in old
standard RTTY". Please visit the Digital Modes page at
http://www.xf4dl.xedx.org for full information.
ZL9BSJ/P ---> Bert, ZL2BSJ did operate from Campbell Island (OC-037) on 10
September.He "works for New Zealand's weather service", The Daily DX reports,
"and sails in the Campbell Island area once or twice a year. If he is lucky
and has some spare time he operates from the wharf for a few hours before
heading back out to sea". A similar activity took place back in 2002 (12
September). Last week's operation was cut short by the weather and Bert was
able to log 133 QSOs. QSL via ZL2BSJ.
