DIAMOND JUBILEE WAZ ---> The Worked All Zones (WAZ) award was introduced in
the November 1934 issue of R/9 magazine, a predecessor of today's CQ. To
celebrate the 75th anniversary of WAZ, CQ is offering a special,
limited-time version of the award. The Diamond Jubilee Worked All Zones
will be issued upon presentation of log extracts showing twoway contacts
with each of the 40 CQ zones of the world during the period from 1 November
2009 to 31 December 2010. Details can be found at
http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/DiamondWAOct09.pdf

contains 20330 QSOs (latest QSO made at 13.56 UTC on 24 September). It has
been confirmed that FT5GA is being pirated: "if your QSO is not online",
F5CQ says, "it will be quite sure you have been cheated", and you had
better try work them again. Bookmark http://glorieuses2008.free.fr/ for
updates.

Cluster over the past few days, is a pirate. The genuine R1FJA is now

and will process QSL requests as follows: first, those who donated to the
charity project [425DXN 955]; second, those who QSLled direct with
sufficient funds; third, those who QSLled direct with IRCs; fourth, bureau
cards (including direct requests with 1 USD only). Pista has uploaded (and
will upload) to LoTW the QSOs with those stations who have already sent (or
will send) a donation; remaining contacts will be uploaded "at least a year
later on". QSLling instructions can be found at http://ha5ao.novolab.hu/
