Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, F8RU, OH2BU, TI2MCL, WB3LHD, WB3JFS, WK3N, NA8A, WB8LFO,
WA8MEM, KD8V, W8XD and K8YSE for the following DX information.

4J1FS, MALYJ VYSOTSKIJ ISLAND. Jari, OH2BU, called BARF-80 BBS on May
9 to inform me that the 1991 M-V Island DXpedition is planned to start
on Thursday, May 23rd and end on the 29th. This DXpedition will be
active during the CQ WPX CW Contest. The callsign will be the same as
in the earlier DXpeditions of 1988 and 1989: 4J1FS. This third
DXpedition will be active on new bands and modes for the first time on
this tiny Finnish island in the Bay of Vyborg. RTTY will be used for
the first time and possibly also other digital modes will be operated
from the island. Look for them on 14082 KHz +/- QRM. A station with a
WARC-band beam will activate the new bands 24 hours a day, circulating
between the bands on CW and SSB. Look for them on 10101, 18069, 18145,
24891 and 24945 KHz. All other frequencies will be: (+1 from the band
edge on CW, and 45 KHz on SSB).
               CW: 1832, 3501, 7001, 14001, 21001, 28001
              SSB: 1852, 3645, 7045, 14145, 21245, 28445
The operators are: OH2BU, OH2BVI, OH2BR, OH6NU, OH2BH and OH6YF.
                   UW3AX, UV1AA,  UA6HZ, UA1ALZ and UA3AKR.
QSL-manager for this operation will be OH2BU, Jari Jussila, Pilvijarvi,
SF-02400 Kirkkonummi, Finland.

A5, BHUTAN. Well, the news is not good! It was reported on the W2MIG DX
Net that VK5QW received a phone call from Jim and Kirsti Smith, VK9NS
and VK9NL, on May 8. The Smith's and their equipment arrived OK in
Bhutan, but because of the problems in that part of the world, they
were denied permission to operate in A5. Also they have cancelled their
side trip to S2 (Bangladesh). They will be returning to Sydney,
Australia on May 15.

D2, ANGOLA. The INDEXA Net announced a group of Europeans and Russians
will operate from Angola May 15 for about 2 weeks. This group has plans
to operate CW.

ET, ETHIOPIA. Jack, ET2A, is back in ET-land and continues to be very
active. As this bulletin was being prepared, Jack announced on 15
meters Saturday evening he plans to operate on CW. This will make many
CW ops happy. Also ET2A's new QSL manager is F6HIZ. UPDATE: Jack did
show up on CW late Saturday evening around 21046 KHz from 0400 to
0500Z.

FR/T, TROMELIN. Yoland, FR5AI/T, continues to be active most mornings
(U.S.) long path around 1230 to 1330Z on or around 14005 KHz. He will
be there for about 3 more weeks. QSL to Yoland CBA. UPDATE: There have
been reports that "The DX Bulletin" stated that "FR5AI/T has postponed
his operation until May 28th and the operator who is on now is a slim.
Per FR4DD." Many of the local DXers in Ohio/Penn feel this is false,
but as always "WORK FIRST WORRY LATER" (WFWL). 

PJ, ST. MARRTEN. You only have a few days left to work the Harvard
Wireless Radio Club signing PJ1A. They will be leaving May 16. Activity
has been on 10-160 meters. QSL via W1AF.

PY0, ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL ROCKS. Both PY0SK and PY0SR continue to be
very active. Operation will end sometime Monday, May 13. They have been
heard on 3797, 7159, 14015, 14025, 14195, 18128, 21020, 21295, 28020
and 28495 KHz. QSL PY0SK via PS7KM. QSL PY0SR via PP5JD.

TI9, COCOS ISLAND. Jose, TI2JJP, will activate TI9JJP from COCOS Island
starting May 15 thru 20. Jose will operate SSB on 10, 15, 20 and 40
meters using the regular DX frequencies. QSL via TI2AOC using only the
1990 or 1991 CallBook address.

VP8, SOUTH GEORGIA ISLANDS.  VP8SGB a new station from South Georgia
has been showing up most mornings on 14226.6 KHz at 1130Z.

XQ0, SAN FELIX. John, XQ0X, was supposed to be QRT by now, but he still
continues to be active. He was heard May 11 at 0327Z on 14160 KHz with
his QSL manager CE3ESS. On May 12, John was active on 28513 KHz around
1530Z.

XZ, MYANMAR (BURMA). RA3AUU reports, Romeo, UB5JRR, has secured a
license for XZ. Romeo's callsign will be XZ0RR. Operation will take
place sometime in June or July and consist of 4 operators for 2 weeks.
This XZ DXpedition will cost more than the YA operation, so NT2X will
handle contributions again as he did for the YA0RR DXpedition.

SPECIAL EVENT STATION. The submarine "REQUIN" docked on the Ohio River
in Pittsburgh, Pa. will be on 28490 KHz Saturdays and Sundays. The
callsign will W3XX. The original radio room and original radio
equipment are being used as it is being repaired. QSL via WB3LHD. The
QSL card tells some the history of the Sub which was built in 1945.

QSL MANAGER CHANGE. A new QSL route has surfaced for TI9CF and TI9US
in the last week. Those DXers who didn't receive cards for these two
stations can now QSL through W3HNK.

QSL CARDS UPDATE. The HK0TU QSL cards received by HK3DDD were damaged
and new QSL cards were re-ordered. HK3DDD is hoping that it will not
be long before the cards surface in the states.

WAR, ARMED FORCES DAY. An Ohio group will activate U.S. Army Radio
Station WAR from Ft. Detrick, MD from 1300Z May 18 to 0245Z May 19.
Operators will be K8BL, KA8KPS, WA8MEM, WA8TSX AND K8YSE. Check for
the following frequencies: 4020 LSB, 14402 USB, 13992 CW and 6997.5
CW. Listening frequencies will be announced. QSL cards will be mailed
to all making contacts.
