NEPAL.  Kiyoko, NH6RT, is operating as 9N1KY from Kathmandu and will            
be there for another year or two.  She is one of three new stations             
licensed in Nepal, 9N1HA and 9N1HP being the other two.                         
                                                                                
The only news on the UT4UZ and UB4LRQ DXpedition is that 9N1UZ was              
heard calling QRZ USA on 7009 kHz at 0130z.                                     
                                                                                
RWANDA.  Paul, F6EXV, and a friend are signing 9X5DX and 9X5CW.                 
They are in the telecommunications field and operate only as their              
work schedule permits.  Commercial equipment is all they have right             
now and cannot operate split.  Check for them around 18135 kHz at               
1530z.

Americans.  Check between 1830 and 1835 kHz, QSX up, around his                 
Sunrise.  A 160 meter maven, Riki needs only Zone 2 on this band for            
his WAZ.

THAILAND.  Reiner, DL2VK, will be signing HS0/DL2VK until January

operating CW.
