CURACAO.  Carl, OH6XY, will be traveling here to be active in the CQ
WW CW Contest (40 meter/Single op) as PJ9Y.  He will be active
before and after the contest on 6 meters.  NOTE: Carl is the team
leader of RadioTeam Finland and is serving on the United Nations
High Command on Refugees in the former Yugoslavia, a position he
has held since last November. His stay is through November 1994 and
can be worked from either Croatia (9A/OH6XY) or Bosnia-Herzegovina
(T9/OH6XY).  Jukka, OH3GZ, is acting QSL Manager for Carl and has
the logs for the following calls: 9A/OH6XY, ZA/OH6XY, ZA2A,
PJ2/OH6XY, PJ9Y, 4N4/OH6XY and T9/OH6XY.

Bob, WB2DIN advises that he is no longer acting as QSL manager for
Sergey, 4K2KBZ.  QSL cards for all QSOs Bob has logs for have been
forwarded to the ARRL Incoming QSL Bureau for distribution.  Bob
asks that no further requests for 4K2KBZ cards be sent to him.

Don, KJ6TC reports that he is not the QSL manager for 9K2WA, who
appeared to be active in the ARRL RTTY Contest long after he was
back in the US.

Don also reports that the US Army confiscated his 9K2WR log disks on
his way out of the country almost two years ago for security
reasons, and at this point he still doesn't have them back.  He
didn't make hard copy logs for space considerations.  Efforts are
underway to recover the logs.
