Joe. Great advice. If he's got a brain in his head...
BTW, noticed your Cadence affiliation. I am with SPEC in Austin, and we have
been
developing GaAs cell libraries for (sorry) Compass tools. New to Internet.
Sorry for strange formatting.

Provided by BARF-80 BBS Cleveland, Ohio
Online at 216-237-8208 14400/9600/2400/1200/300 8/N/1
Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, DF4RD, DL7VEE & DXNL,
OH2LVG, AA8EU, K6OZL, NH6YK, AB7E, W8QWI, KF8VW, K8YVI and NE8Z for the
following DX information.
BV9P, PRATAS ISLAND. The latest word/rumor circulating this week was
that the DXpedition would take place December 15th and supposedly,
Martti, OH2BH, and others have gotten their permission to join this BV
group DXpedition. THIS IS FALSE! From Ron, K6OZL: Per OH2BH/VR2BH on
December 4th, the Taiwanese officials have finally reached a decision
that foreigners will not be allowed to go to Pratas Island. There is no
word on if/when a DXpedition will be attempted because of transportation.
The two flights a month to Pratas are filled up and the government is
not offering any help at all.
CH3/VE3, CANADIAN ISLANDS. Dr. Rick Dorsch will be active as NE8Z/CH3
or NE8Z/VE3 from various Canadian Islands in Ontario. The QSOs will
count for the "Canadian Islands Award" (C.IS.A), but not for the IOTA
award. The various islands have not been announced because the plans
are not complete yet. Operating dates are December 13, 14, 17, 19, 20
and 28th. Activity will be between 1400-2300z on the following
frequencies: CW - 7025, 14025, 21025, 28025
SSB - 7174, 14260, 21260, 28460
QSL via NE8Z (any CBA) or K8LJG, John C. Kroll, 3528 Craig Dr., Flint,
MI 48506 USA. CISA AWARD: The CISA Award is managed by VE3XN. A special
plaque is available for QSOs with 50 Canadian Islands. Contact VE3XN for
full details.
SPECIAL NOTE: NE8Z will be active (as XE1/NE8Z) between February 9-21,
1994 including the ARRL DX CW Contest. During that time period he will
also activate a "NEW IOTA GROUP" in Mexico. More details in mid-January.
KC6, PALAU ISLANDS. Ted, NH6YK, will be operating KC6YK sporadically
during the time frame of December 20th to January 2nd. He will be on
RS-10, AO-13, 6 and 10 meters. A possibility of low band operation may
take place, if Ted can borrow a radio and install some wire antennas.
Ted states if you miss him this trip, he will be a back in Palau over
the summer.
QSL NOTE "DE CN2AQ". A note from CN2AQ enclosed with a QSL card states
that many QSL cards sent direct to him (since 1992) have never arrived
or have been opened enroute. He now has a new mailing address (S.J Quast,
P.O. Box 82, Asilah, Morocco) and advises NOT to send SASE, but instead
send a self-addressed sticker. Also include a note on the rear of the
QSL identifying what "Green Stamps or IRCs" were enclosed (if any). He
also welcomes QSLs sent via the bureau.
QSL NOTE. Several have been asking, "WHAT IS THE ADDRESS FOR OLLI,
OH0XX/W4?". It was announced on the INDEXA net, that Olli's address for
his resent 8R1K operation (CQWWCW 93) goes to: Olli Rissanen, 1313 South
Military Trail, Deerfield Beach, FLA 33442.
S0, WESTERN SAHARA. S0RASD and S0MZ have been heard active over the past
week. S0RASD was active on the 21260 and 21256 kHz around 1730 to 1830z.
S0MZ was heard operating by call areas on 14202 kHz around 1930z. QSL
both to EA2JG.
XF4, REVILLA GIGEDO ISLANDS. Nellie, XE1CI, has received special
permission to lead a DXpedition based on the fact that she will be
the first "YL" ever to transmit from XF4-land. Nellie, along with
XE1ABA (and possibly others), will use the callsign XF4CI. The Mexican
Navy will provide transportation from XE to XF4 on December 15,16 or
17th. The trip takes approximately 36 hours and the DXpedition will last
2 weeks. The ship will return her to XE on January 2, 3 or 4th. (She may
operate as XF4CI/MM enroute.) If you are interested in a "YL" QSO, Nellie
will only be using the SSB MODE. Any QSOs on CW/RTTY will be handled by
XE1ABA (not a YL!). Nellie will try to operate on/near 3795, 7065/7174,
14195, 21295 and 28395/495/595. Activity will also be on various DX Nets
and WARC bands. The team will also be using the Satellites, 2m, 70cm
and 6m (Monitor 50.110). QSL via XE1CI, Nellie S. de Lazard, Sierra
Chalchihui 235-502-B, Mexico 11000 D.F., Mexico (for ALL QSOs).
YI0BIF QSL CARDS. DIYA, YI1DZ, would like to inform everyone that the
cards for YI0BIF operation back in October will be delayed because of
printing problems. So please be patient, they will do the best they can
to process the cards.
ZB2X, CONTEST STATION. Jorma, OK2KI, would like to thank everyone for
contacting him in the CQWW CW Contest. He had a total of over 4800 QSOs
as ZB2X. Jorma now has accumulated more than 35,000 ZB2X QSOs in his
databank (since 1989). Anyone who has not yet sent for a QSL, cards will
arrive via the bureau system. Anyone wishing a quicker response can QSL
via OH2KI, Jorma Saloranta, Karhutie 39, 00800 Helsinki, Finland.
KEEP THOSE BALLOTS COMING! Ballots for the Third Annual OPDX/NODXA DX
Survey can be found in OPDX.137. Ballots can be sent to the following
packet and online addresses listed below.
FAX YOUR DX INFORMATION NOW! Faxing is available Monday/Wednesday/Friday
from 0430 to 2330z only. The number is 216-237-8208 and the FAX card is
sharing the same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch.
Excerpts and distribution of The OPDX Bulletin are granted as long as
OPDX/BARF80 receive credit. To contribute DX info, call BARF-80 BBS
online at 216-237-8208 14400/9600/2400/1200/300 and leave a message with
the Sysop or send InterNet Mail to: aq474@cleveland.freenet.edu or send

Does anyone have access to a database that lists FCC licensed agencies on
assigned frequencies?? I want to determine if there are users on freq's in
the 470-475 range in Troy, NY and Yuma, AZ for an experimental license,
and the FCC isn't being very helpful...I'd appreciate any info you have.
You can post your reply, but also email me a copy since I might not
catch it here ..

Predicted geomagnetic activity is based heavily on recurrent

periods in excess of several days. Hence, there may be some deviations from
the predictions due to the unpredictable transient solar component.

NOTES:
These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
the HF predictions charts.
