3B9FR ON LOTW ---> "I am almost ready to confirm contacts with 3B9FR on
LoTW for the first time", Charles, M0OXO announced on 2 June. "This is not
as simple as you may think", as 3B9FR still uses paper logs and QSO data
have to be typed into the PC log. Around 70,000 QSOs have been entered so
far, and will be uploaded to LoTW. "The problem lies with historic QSOs" -
read the details at http://www.m0oxo.com/963-3b9fr-lotw.html.

"we're almost on auto-pilot", the team reported on 1 June. "Under
development are: tent and antenna locations, power grid physical layout,
operator scheduling and task plans for a beach landing". The website has
been updated with the final antenna/power plans. Fund raising is
continuing, and donations to help offset the costs are gratefully accepted:
see www.tx3x.com for the details. [TNX K5GS]
