9J2BO PIRATED ---> Mike, G3TEV (QSL manager for 9J2BO) reports that
"someone in Europe has been illegally using 9J2BO's callsign on the 160 &
80 bands". He has received several cards claiming to have contacted him
recently in the evenings, but Brian seldom if ever uses 80m in the evenings
and only goes on 160m very occasionally in the early monings at about 03.30
UTC.
HAITI EARTHQUAKE ---> The HF frequencies used to respond to the immediate
needs of the Haiti Earthquake (14300, 14265, 7045, 7065, 7265, 3720 and
3977 kHz) have retuened to normal use since 18 UTC on 22 January. There are
still a number of radio amateurs in the country attached to various relief
groups who may still be heard on the amateur bands on a number of
frequencies according to their particular needs to maintain contact with
their home countries.
QSL VIA F5OGL ---> All of the direct and bureau requests received so far
for FT5GA have been processed and mailed (the last batch of 500 envelopes
was due to be sent out on 29 January). The same applies to direct/bureau
requests for T6YA and OD5/F5PTM. [TNX F5NQL]
