MOST WANTED SURVEY ---> The DX Magazine's  annual  Most    Wanted    Survey 
was conducted in September-October 2010 [425DXN  1010].  The  top  10  DXCC 
Entities are North Korea (P5),  Navassa  (KP1),  Bouvet  (3Y),  Yemen  (7O),

Sandwich Islands (VP8), Crozet (FT5W) and Scarborough  Reef  (BS7).  Give  a
look at the 100 Most Wanted listing, which also shows  the  results  of  the
2009 survey for  comparison,  at  www.dxpub.com/dx_news.html.  The  complete
breakdown by continent is available in the January/February  2011  issue  of
"The DX Magazine"; a breakdown by mode will be published in the  March/April
issue.

QSL A25XX ---> Lorenzo, IK1MDF says that the A25XX cards  arrived  from  the
printer on 21 January. Owing to  the  recent  major  postal  rates  increase
[425DXN 1027], 2 USD do not cover return postage  any  longer  to  the  vast
majority of international destinations. At all events, he says, all  of  the
QSOs will be confirmed through the bureau and will be uploaded  to  LoTW  as
soon as possible.

QSL HH2/PA5M ---> The QSL cards have arrived from  the  printer,  after  the
first batch got lost in the mail. Direct  requests  with  sufficient  return
postage will be processed "soon", PA5N says, while "all buro cards  will  be
answered soon after".

QSL ZL8X ---> Hopefully the QSL cards will be ready by early March:  "as  we
will have a special QSL card, the design also takes a little bit  more  time
than usual", DL1MGB  says.  "Please  be  patient,  it  is  worth  waiting!".
QSLling policy, including LoTW, is detailed at www.kermadec.de
