SPECIAL NOTE FROM EDITOR: Last week was a
rough week for your editor. After about 7 days of no connection
to the outside world, BARF-80 BBS was finally back on-line
connected to the InterNet on Thursday, April 12th. How bad was
the connection missed? After several hours of downloading,
BARF-80's backlog of messages was just over 1400 messages (and
this does not include all the amateur radio UseNet New Groups).
We were very lucky (and thankful) that "APK.NET" held
all messages (few were lost) until the new DSL service was
reconnect with BARF-80's ISP "NSHORE.ORG". The DSL
service that pulled the plug because of bankruptcy effected over
1000 ISP and 81,000 users in northern Ohio. We are glad it is
back!

3A, MONACO (SLIM ALERT). A station signing as
3A2DX was heard active on April 4th, on 28495 kHz at 1400z and
then QSYed to 15 meters CW. This station is a
"Pirate/Slim". DO NOT QSL. Save your money. Buckmaster
also has this station listed as a Pirate.
3W2KF IS NOW QRT. Claude, F5PBL, is now back
in France as of April 2nd. He sent OPDX the following and
requested that we publish it: "Tnx to everybody for the
calls. Despite a high level QRN on my side, I hope I have
answered to most of your calls (except USA ... sorry guys, the
QRN was S9 towards the States ! Did my best but ...). That was my
very first DX trip so sorry for my lack of experience in pile-ups
managering! QSLing is OK via bureau or direct (Claude TERRIER, 18
allee du Mail, F-92360 Meudon-la-Foret, France). Note that the
address in Villeparisis (Zip 77270) is OK also but not the
quickest one and please avoid Aulnay (Zip 93600) because the
Postal services will soon stop the forwarding to me. QSL cards
should be printed and delivered within 6 weeks now. I will then
start the answering process, starting with direct requests, of
course. I will NOT answer to eQSLs, sorry." For more updated
information and the log (which will be available soon), check out
the Web site at: http://www.qsl.net/f5pbl.

HK0, MALPELO ISLAND (2nd Operation Update).
Jairo/HK5MQZ and Hiro/HK5QGX have announced that the DXpedition
originally planned between April 8-21st has been cancelled. The
reason for this cancellation: The second voyage of the only ship
that sails to Malpelo was cancelled; the scuba group that had
originally contracted the ship cancelled out. Jairo informs OPDX
that the first sailing from April 6th and 13th has no problems
and would have taken place. They had planned to sail on April 6th
on the first trip and return to Buenaventura on the second
sailing. But their second trip was cancelled and they did not
have any possibilities for the return trip. Therefore they
cordially present their apologies to all colleagues who were
interested in this operation.
HONOR GIVEN. The Magnolia DX Association (http://www.mdxa.org)
has sent an appreciation plaque to Chuck Brady, N4BQW, for his
one man operation as 3Y0C. They wanted Chuck to know how much the

states that 95% of all QSOs are now on-line at: http://www.dailydx.com/a61aj_search.html.
If your QSO is not in the on-line log, more than likely
it is in one of the hand logs. Please do not panic.
Kasimir, DL2SBY, reports that he has

ER4DX, ER0N, ER/UT7ND and ER0ND, informs OPDX that many
envelopes have been ripped open by what he calls "

taken. He states that he can not send these QSL cards
back direct, so cards will be sent back via the bureau.
Gene recommends that when sending QSLs to him, use
envelopes that are dense and sealed with tape. Also, it
is better/safer to use IRCs.

day (24 hour turn around now!) Alan, states, "Just
want to say 'thanks a million' to those amateurs that
heeded our request for generosity with funds which we
donate to Camp Quality (a children's cancer support
charity). So far we have donated close to $20,000.00 and
more will be welcome. US$$ are easily donated but IRCs
will help a bit if you can't get greenstamps. Don't get
the wrong impression... donations don't "buy" a
card... you MUST be in the log also, of course. Please
visit the Macquarie Island web site (it is regularly up
dated)........." http://www.geocities.com/vk0ld/1.html.
QSL DIRECT ONLY to VK4AAR. Important reminder.... Do NOT
(repeat "NOT") waste your time (and Alan's)

passengers) they decided to invite 2 more operators. The

OPDX received another message from Victor, ZK1CG, and he states
the following (edited): "Jim/ZK1JD and myself are both
running barefoot rigs. Jim has a dipole up about 30 to 40 feet
for 20 meters, I know this because I threw the rock over the tree
Hi Hi. He also has a vertical and a 5 element monobander on 10
meters up 20 to 30 feet pointed at a very high tree. I Have a
G5RV up 35 feet and a Vertical and a Icom 751A (Thanks to W7VV
Roger and Sue). I do have a KT34A that's on the ground that I'm
trying to get parts for. It is over ten years old and has not
seen much action on the Ham bands. I would love to get it up and
running before we go to North Cook in October for CQWW SSB
Contest with the group from Seattle and Canada for one week. If
anyone has a old KT34A with usable parts on it that they would
like to see and hear operating from both North and South Cook
please contact me. I know not many old and used KT34As are around
but you never know your luck... I am running on a single battery
at the moment so if anyone hears me FMing, let me know so I can
save the rig. Yes, I know you may need the contact, but I like to
skip around to the new bands when possible to give the hams a new
one on 17 and 12 meters....... Regards, Victor, ZK1CG". QSL
ZK1CG to: Victor Rivera, PO Box 618, Rarotonga Cook Islands.

To access: 1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second
ring should be a false ring from the fax/data switch box) and
then dial four quick ones ("1111"). (NOTE: Some FAX
machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the
"BEEP" leave your voice message or FAX.
