QSL FJ5KH: The ONLY correct (direct) QSL route for all QSOs made by FG5ED
from Jul 20-30 is: Ch. Godeau, 13 Ave Buckeburg, F-72300 Sable, France.

The new QSL manager for GM7V and GZ7V is now Linda, M0CMK.

QSL via I2YSB: Silvano,I2YSB, writes that a large number of his J20MM and
J20RR QSLs were rejected by the ARI bureau stating that he is not a
member of the QSL bureau - which is wrong. Silvano wants to confirm
that he has sent the cards through the Italian bureau to all those that
requested the QSLs of J20MM or J20RR via e-mail (more than 1000). He
has also answered the 3565 QSLs received through the Italian bureau
(2806 via the office in Albino and 759 via the office in Broni).
Silvano has drawn the consequences now, will leave the ARI next year
and makes G6MBY his new QSL manager.

QSLs arrived direct: AD7RT/AH0 (via JP1PZE), JA6WFM/HC5 (JA6VU),
3B8MM (DL6UAA), 5T5DC (DH7WW), 9X0R (via EA5RM)

QSLs arrived bureau: A43GI (via A47RS), FK8DD (LZ1JZ), J5UCW (IK2ILH),

ANNOUNCEMENT
------------
Next weekend, August 9/10, the Worked All Europe DX Contest is finally
starting into its 54th season. The official rules and more details can be
found online at: http://waedc.de

In 2008 the DARC also commemorates the 60th anniversary of the award
"Worked All Europe". A WAE Marathon will be held starting with the upcoming
WAE DX Contest CW next week and ending with the WAE DX Contest SSB in mid
September. Much more information is available at: http://wae60.de

Please be aware that in the context of this WAE60 Marathon Europeans might
be interested to work other Europeans as well, which is unusual for the
WAE DX Contests. These EU-EU QSOs are fully legal, of course, and can/should
be presented in the WAEDC contest logs as well. While they will not count
with points for the contest score, they won't hurt either and will certainly
count for the special WAE60 award. Thus, if you are an European and another
European is calling you during the contest, don't get angry this time -
just work and log him and after a few seconds he is gone again.

Finally I hope to meet you on the bands during the contest.

Enjoy and be ready for the famous QTCs!

Best 73s de Joerg, DL8WPX
WAE DX Contest Manager
