brief visits to most European countries. In addition, the
ARRL has begun issuing International Amateur Radio
Permits to simplify operation by US hams in certain South
American countries. Complete information on CEPT and IARP

QSL E4/OK5DX ---> Please note that
the correct QSL route is via OK1TN (*not* OK1YN as
reported in 425DXN 422). We apologize for any
inconvenience this may have caused our readers.
QSL EP2FM ---> The Daily DX reports

in Vietnam recently, he could not find the XV300S logs

300 requests for cards, but, at the present time, can do
nothing about it. Again, this was for the previous XV300S

YT1MM states that "the YU QSL bureau is alive and
working (it is operated by Petar, YT1WW), and Yugoslav
post office works properly, as letters for all countries

circumstances (and the letters DO arrive to their
destinations, like Canada,UK, Japan etc.). My radio club
(YU1EXY) receives LOT of mail, so I have first-hand proof
for my statements. On the other hand, it is a well known
fact that a number of countries (like USA, Great Britain
and Germany, for example) simply suspended accepting any
kind of mail destined for Yugoslavia since early April.
Some other countries, like Japan or Hungary accept
letters for Yugoslavia and such mail regularly arrives,
albeit with a slight delay." [TNX YT1MM]
