3V8, TUNISIA. 3V8AS continues to be active. This week the station was 
heard on 28010 kHz around 1630z and 24900 kHz around 1320z. The operator
states to QSL via IK5GQM. Most feel this is a PIRATE, but WFWL.

VK9, LORD HOWE ISLAND. Bill, VK4CRR, and others received the green light
to be active from November 18th thru 25th. The call sign to be used will
be VK9LD and operations will be on CW/SSB on the following bands: 10, 12,
15, 17, 20, 40 and possibly 75/80 and 160 meters. They have a weight 
problem with the aircraft which may restrict the equipment for 75/80 and
160 meter bands. The usual SSB frequencies will be used, but for CW look
4 kHz up from the bottom of the band edge. Send QSLs to VK4CRR 1992 call
book address and Bill requests that IRC's or green stamps to help defray
costs.

Manager for VS6WO) informs OPDX that several DX bulletins have recently
published inaccurate information regarding the QSL route for VS6WO. The
correct (and only) QSL route for VS6WO is: VS6WO via K9EC, Michael Zeug,
9N317 Corron Rd., Elgin, IL 60123, USA.  Mike states that the 1992 
Callbook address is no longer correct.

North Coast Contesters, will be joined by several local VE2 operators to
activate Zone 2 during the upcoming CQ World-Wide CW Contest. The operation
will be a limited multi/multi and using the call sign VE2CSI. The operating
site will be 15 miles east of Sept-iles, Quebec. At least two and possibly
three transmitters will be active using a tribander, 10 meter monobander
and verticals. Heavy emphasis will be on providing Zone 2 to as many as
possible during the contest period. QSL Manager will be KQ8M.
 
ITU NEWS. The ARRL DX Bulletin reported that a press release on November 
4 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), stated that the
Republic of Moldova (RO and UO) and the Republic of Bosnia Hercegovina
(YU4 and 4N4) have been admitted to the ITU. 
 
OOPS! DEPARTMENT. Under "NEED TO UPDATE YOUR DATABASE", the line that
read "YU5 & 4N4" should have read "YU4 & 4N4".
 
SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: There will probably be no bulletin next week 
(November 23). I will be away on personal commitments. Please keep 
sending your DX information. (You may never know, I may put one together
if I receive enough information before I leave.)
