http://www.le-calao.com

7Q, MALAWI (Update)
Allan, G0IAS, updates OPDX that Les, 7Q7LA, will once again be on the air. He is hand carrying some (ham) stuff for Ron, 7Q7RM, to make sure that it arrives safe and sound and doesn't get lost, broken, or what mostly happens, stolen, on its way there.!! Les will leave the UK, on the 28th of this month and is expected to arrive at the Lakeshore on the 30th. Harry, 7Q7HB, should be at Lillongwe International to meet him there where he will either fly him to the Lakeshore or be driven up there to Club Makokola. Les will stay here with his XYL Faye until the early part of January 2005. However, Harry, 7Q7HB, will leave for the UK on November 10th. The two 7Q stations will try their best to put something up for 80 and 160 meters. OPDX was told these two bands are very hard to operate on due to the noise level. More details about their 160/80 operations are forthcoming. QSL Route for 7Q7LA remains via DIRECT ONLY to G0IAS (not allowed to use the RSGB and there is NO BUREAU in 7Q).

8P, BARBADOS
Tom, W2SC, will be active as 8P1A in the CQ WW DX SSB Contest (October 30-31st) as a Single-Op/All-Band/High-Power entry. QSL via NN1N.

His callsign is 9V1CW, and Enno will be in Singapore for about 3 years. He is using a FT1000MP and a broadband vertical (GPM-1500 by WiMo). If the vertical does not work out satisfactorly, he will try to hang out a G5RVjr (10-40m version). Due to a heavy travel schedule, Enno cannot be active very often. Look for him on 80-10 meters (30, 17m in particular), 99.9% CW as indicated by his callsign. All QSLs via PA0KHS (Bureau is OK). The QSL cards are already printed (high quality glossy cards, design based upon the Singapore flag and printed by ON5UR). If you like to get a QSL direct, please send SAE + sufficient return postage (for airmail return to non-EU destinations, please enclose 2USD/Euro, otherwise 1 USD/Euro).

ANTARCTICA RECORD TRIP (Attention Stamp Collectors!)
On September 14th, 2004, the famous yacht "Apostol Andrey" started a new circumnavigation trip. The yacht will travel around the shores of the Antarctica without going further to the North beyond the 60th parallel which is the border of the Antarctic region in accordance with the International Agreement. The crew will try to establish a record of penetrating sailing yachts to the south - to cross the 70th parallel of the south latitude. The skipper, Nikolay Andrey, has the callsign of R3AL/MM and has the QSL cards already printed for this expedition. He will transmit from the Antarctica starting December 2004 until March 2005. The ship also has an official Russian postmark onboard and a special postal stationary envelope for this expedition. Thanks to the friends who are helping the WAP Staff, they are trying to set up a regular schedule (with Nikolay), and as soon as available, they will let all of the Antarctic chasers know what it is.
