DXCC NEWS ---> D2QMN's current operation from Angola has been approved for
DXCC credit. Anyone who had this operation rejected in a recent DXCC
submission can send a message to dxcc@arrl.org to be placed on the list to
be updated. [TNX NC1L]
FT5GA ---> The on-line log (http://www.clublog.org/charts/?c=FT5GA) now
contains 37285 QSOs (latest QSO at 15.20 UTC on 1 October) with 12171
unique callsigns. The team will remain on the island until 8 October. QSL
via F5OGL, direct or bureau. As for LoTW, "uploading is not on the agenda
to day", the FT5GA team says, "but we never said the log will not be
uploaded in the future. We will have a lot of things to do before, for a
long long time". [TNX F5NQL]
QSL ZK2V ---> The entire batch of direct ZK2V cards (about 1400 envelopes,
confirming 2979 QSOs) was expected to be to the post office on 29
September, "with the exception of about 100-125 cards that require 'special
handling'". Bureau cards will be tackled next. [TNX N3SL]
QSL STATISTIC ---> The idea beyond this service (http://adok.dyndns.org) is
"to share the information stored in your local logger database with others
- so when deciding wheter to send your paper QSL to a station you can take
a look how others have received cards from that station". [TNX RX9TX]
QSL VIA W5KDJ ---> Wayne, W5KDJ (3DA0KDJ, 5R8KD, A25KDJ, C91KDJ, SV0WWW,
TF2WJN, YN2KDJ) says he does not accept QSL cards via the bureau. He will
only confirm direct cards with SASE or SAE + return postage, or via eQSL
and LoTW.
SWL CLUSTER ---> DX Watch (http://www.dxwatch.com/), the popular Internet
access for amateur radio DX cluster with additional tools, now has a newly
born brother cluster devoted to SWL and general listening activity:
http://swl.dxwatch.com [TNX PY2ZX]
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
for listing. Send send your scores, as well as any request for further
information, to Erminio Pandocchi, I2EOW (i2eow@fastwebnet.it)
VHF-DATABASE ---> The latest issue of the VHF-DATABASE (2.60 - 10/2009) is
now available to private users as well as DX-Cluster Sysops on MMMonVHF,
the VHF-DX-Portal. Information can be found at
http://www.mmmonvhf.de/dbase.php [TNX DL8EBW]
XV#RRC ---> Typhoon Ketsana affected the plans of the Russian team in
Vietnam. The XV6RRC operation from Ngu Island (AS-185) was cancelled, but
they were able to log 2149 QSOs operating as XV7RRC from Cham Island
(AS-162) for 17 hours on 26 September, then the weather deteriorated and
forced them to leave the island before it was too late. On 28 September-1
October they made 10543 QSOs as XV3RRC from Tam Island (AS-157). A log
search for both activities can be found at http://xv6rrc.com/; QSL via
RZ3EC.

ex-YU4CA, a doyen of amateur radio in Bosnia), Vladimir I. Kuzichev
