8P6DR ---> Richard, G3RWL made about 3,000 QSOs during his 2-23 April
activity from Barbados. He says he had a computer failure "and the last 800
QSOs were made with hand-keying and a paper log". All but about 10 CW QSOs
from the computer are OK on his backup, but all his RTTY QSOs are still on
the computer with no backup. QSL requests will not be confirmed until after
Richard has investigated (and hopefully fixed) the problem. [TNX G3RWL]

Dumpleton, 2E0NCG is the winner of the Radio Arcala Essay Contest [425DXN

UN2C ---> One of our readers is looking for a reliable QSL route for UN2C:
I "have sent two times to Box 121 (all DX lists)", he says, "but both
returned as undeliverable". Is there anybody who can help?
TOP LISTS ---> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at http://www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. Please note
that QSOs confirmed through LoTW or included in on-line logs are eligible
