. ===================== *** The Daily DX *** ===================== Volume 1 Number 62 June 12, 1997 Edited by Bernie McClenny, W3UR ____________________________________________________________________ Headlines ____________________________________________________________________ Ken McCormick, VY2RU, informs The Daily DX that Wayne, VE1CBK, made it to Sable Island as expected on Saturday, June 7th and he has not had any time for operating due to his work load. Ken says "He (Wayne) has however managed to put up the R-5 Vertical antenna today so he may be on the higher HF bands when time permits." Wayne has not been able to put up the low band antennae and will have to wait a few more days until the Coast Guard helicopters leave the area. When Wayne does get on the air he will be signing CY0SAB. QSL via VE1CBK. Art, N2AU, informs The Daily DX that he has just received copies on disk for all YB0ARA/9 QSOs from Phil YB0ARA/K6DLV. Art says "I will be ordering the QSL cards late this week." He hopes to be able to answer the QSL requests in early July. Phil enjoys working CW and will be active on 160, 80, 40, 30 and 17 meters. He won't be as active as he was from Jakarta. Do not send QSLs to his home call as they will sit for a long time. Art says he does not have access to any QSOs for YB0ARA. Phil is not sure where his old YB0ARA logs are at this time. ____________________________________________________________________ QSN ____________________________________________________________________ 1B - North Cyprus - DL6NBR has been on from North Cyprus.
