All U.S. amateurs are reminded to avoid the 10109 to 10115
kHz segment of the new band. Contacts on the 10 MHz band
will not be creditable toward ARRL awards.
_C_h_i_n_a_.
BY1PK was active during last weeks CQ WW CW Contest working
Japan and North America on 21150 kHz cw, but worked very few
stations. There has been no sign of BY8AA in the lst few
days.
_A_f_r_i_c_a_.
Many African stations are taking advantage of good low band
propagation lately. Look for 5T5TO, 5H3BH, 3V8AL, 5Z4CS,
TR8DX and TN8AJ.
_D_j_i_b_o_u_t_i_.
A recent visitor to Djibouti is F6BFN who is currently
signing J200BL. QSKL via his home call.

Many stations plan to be active this weekend for the ARRL
160 Meter CW Contest including a major effort by K5NA
operating from KV4FZ.
_T_a_n_z_a_n_i_a_.
5H3BH continues, operated by Leif, SM00AJU, and John, SM00DJZ.
They will be looking for European stations on 40 and 80
meters from 2100Z and U.S.A. from 0130Z.
_M_o_n_g_o_l_i_a_/_Z_o_n_e__2_3_.
Walt, JT00GM, continues active from Mongolia with an
excellent signal on all bands, 80 through 10 meters ssb and
cw. Walt has now been worked by East Coast U.S. stations
both long path and short path on 80 meters. Check 3505 and
3788 kHz. QSL via UV3GM.
_A_r_g_e_n_t_i_n_a_.
The station signing L8D/X is really LU8DQ operating portable
in southern Argentina. Jorge gives his QTH as Staten Island
which he hopes will count for a new country, but it does not
appear to meet any DXCC criteria. It's good for prefix
hunters, anyway.
_Q_a_t_a_r_.
A71BJ is a newcomer in Qatar. He can usually be found on 28
MHz ssb around 1300Z. Lef plans cw operation in early 1983.
QSLs go to G4HNP.
_C_o_n_g_o_.
Joerg, TN8AJ, is back for an extended operation through
December 20. He will be on all bands, 80 through 10 meters,
ssb and cw.
_S_o_u_t_h__O_r_k_n_e_y_.
VP8AOE can be found Wednesdays at 0300Z at the low end of 14
MHz ssb, sometimes with QSL manager K00JW.
