0S, PRINCIPALITY OF SEBORGA. Stations 0S1A and 0S1B still contune to be
active, mainly on 20 meters, CW, SSB and at various times. Remember!
WORK FIRST WORRY LATER! (WFWL) The following information was relayed to
OPDX from the Southeastern Cluster Group:
    Paulo, I2UIY, who just completed the 1A0KM operation, says the
0S1A/0S1B was operating on "bogus credentials". It seems this 
"Principality of Seborga" is something on the order of New Orlean's 
Mardi Gras. Each year this town of Seborga has a parade and names a
"PRINCE" for the celebration. The "PRINCE" sold the license to the 
father/son Italian duo. Paulo states an investigation is underway by
the Italian FCC because of the unauthorized transmissions using an
illegel callsign. 

9A, CROATIA. Jacky, F2CW, who left Pakistan in December, has been working
for the Red Cross in Croatia the past 6 months. Jacky has been somewhat
active as 9A/F2CW, but expects to receive the callsign 9A5CW shortly. He
also holds the call T9/F2CW (Bosnia-Heregovina) but has not activated it
yet. His activity has been mainly on CW with very little SSB operations.
Jacky will try to be active also on RTTY, Pactor and AMTOR. QSL 9A/F2CW,
9A5CW and T9/F2CW to KC7V.
