QSL INFO AND NEWS.....................
Algarve STAR DX Team announced that the 4W6AL QSL cards have arrived
from LZ3HI (printer). Direct requests will be answered very soon. All
4W6AL information can be found on: http://algarvedx.com
7X0DX & 9M8DX QSL INFO UPDATE. Tom, SP5UAF, reports: "At the begining
of November 1st, received 7X0DX and 9M8DX directs unanswered by late
DL4DBR. As perhaps you remember Ted, DL4DBR, passed away at the begining
of 2009 and during last months of his life he was not able to deal with
QSL cards (basicaly callsigns 7X0DX and 9M8DX managed by him). Ted's
wife, Renia, DL3DBR, was for some time too affected by the loss to
prepare the package of unanswered QSLs. She tried many times but always
started to cry. She sent me the package of unanswered direct QSLs at
the beginning of November. Now all of them are answered and sent to
recipients. However, there is a problem with cards sent via DL4DBR via
the bureau. Ted, DL4DBR, had computer records but unfortunately all
data was lost. So if anyone is still waiting for a bureau card, please
re-send your card via the bureau via SP5UAF or send an e-mail request
to my e-mail tom.sp5uaf@gmail.com or sp5uaf@sp5zcc.net ."

the QSL Manager for TF4X. There is already a log search facility on

received another request for V51AS. Steve states, "I am NOT and
never have been the QSL Manager for Frank, V51AS. He told me in

shows an address in Germany: Frank Steinhauser, Am Rosenkothen 17,
40880 Ratingen, Germany."
