7O, YEMEN. There was a station, 7O0ZZ or 7O1ZZ, reported to be working
the Europeans, and the operator was to be VE7ZZ. Stuart, WA2MOE, 
requested Victor, VE7JX, to telephone Stewart, VE7ZZ, and found out 
that 7O0ZZ is a slim. VE7ZZ is not in Yemen, has never been in Yemem 
and does not want to go to Yemem.
  However, WA2MOE, mentions there is a good prospect of a 4W operation.
The callsign 4W8AA might be used in San'a, the captial of the former
country called the Yemen Republic which merged with South Yemen two years
ago to form Yemen.

7P, LESOTHO. 7P8FE has been quite active this past weekend on 10106 kHz
around 2200z. QSL via OH3GZ. Meanwhile, a special request from 7P8SR
states he can not use IRC's in Lesotho. He claims they are no good in
his country and he will no longer answer cards that come with IRC's.

All authorised BARS members may operate with the /500 suffix throughout

VK9, COCOS KEELING ISLANDS. According to the Southern Cross DX Net, begin
looking for VK9CY on September 16th for 14 days. QSL via VK6XW from the
1992 callbook address only.

VP8SSI CARDS UPDATE. It was reported that 10,000 QSL cards have arrived
stateside and made it thru customs. They have been delivered to AA6BB 
and they should be coming out shortly. This is just the first batch, so
if you do not received a card, PLEASE BE PATIENT.

VU7, LACCADIVE ISLANDS. According to ESDX, sometime in October (7-9,
18-20 or 30-Nov 1) there will be a three day operation by Vidi, VU2DVP.
Activity will be mainly on the satellites. QSL via KL7GRF.

YX0AI CARDS UPDATE. Mother nature has now played a role in the holding
up of these cards. W1RM who has been trying to collect log information
from some indivduals with hopes to retrieve their YX0AI cards states:
The cards that were passing through customs were slowed down because
of Hurricane Andrew. Apparently, the paperwork was organized in Miami
and all documentation was destroyed. The cards are expected to be cleared
and in Venezuelan hands by next week, September 14-18.

ZL8, KERMADEC ISLAND. Bob, ZL4DO, stated a ship will be leaving for 
Kermadec on September 14. He has a very busy work load on this trip.
If he gets a chance to operate, it will be most likely sometime on the
16 or 17 of September. The callsign will be ZL8RS.

DXCC BACK LOG. It was reported that the DXCC Desk is processing April
submissions, but mailing out March submissions.
