ARLD069 DX news

Thanks to Tedd, KB8NW; Don, KJ6TC/9K2WR and the Ohio/Penn and Yankee
Clipper Contest Club PacketCluster Networks for the items in this
week's bulletin.

WALVIS BAY.  Ian, ZS9A, has been on 21335 kHz SSB with a DX Net
group at 1400z, and 21087 kHz RTTY around 1545z.  He also sneaks up
onto 10 meters from time to time.  The possibility of South Africa
turning control of Walvis over to Namibia could have some affect on
the DXCC status of ZS9.  Smart money says to work this one now if
you haven't already.

GHANA.  Peter, XT2BW, is scheduled to leave Burkina Faso at the end
of January.  He will vacation for two or three months in Ghana with
his family.  Of course he plans to apply for a license and hopes to
be active.  QSL via WB2YQH.

PACIFIC ISLAND HOPPING.  Akio, JA3JM, will be on a Pacific
DXpedition during late December and early January.  Plans are for
CW, SSB and RTTY on 160 through 10 meters and OSCAR 13.  The
schedule is December 20 through 23 from American Samoa as AA5K/AH8,
December 24 through 30 from Niue as ZK2XJ, December 31 through
January 2 from the Southern Cooks as ZK1AJM, and January 2 through 5
from Western Samoa as 5W1AS.  QSL all contacts via JA3JM.

MALDIVE ISLANDS.  Carlo, I4ALU, will sign 8Q7BX from December 26 to
January 6.  Activity will be CW only on 80 through 10 meters.

NAURU.  Mine, JA2NQG, will solo as C21/AH0F from December 28 through
January 3.  He will concentrate on 160, 80 and 40 meter CW.  QSL via
JA2NQG.

SVALBARD.  Lars, LA5EBA, plans a six month operation as JW5EBA
starting in mid January.  His tour of duty will be working at a
meteorological station on Hopen Island.

NEPAL.  9N1HP was recently active on 7008 kHz from 1200 to 1230z.
The operator was JA1OEM.

THE WAIT FOR KUWAIT.  Don, KJ6TC, reports that after a year and a
half of waiting he has finally received the logs for his 9K2WR
operation.  Processing of QSLs will be DX first, then US, and
finally bureau cards.
