QSL R1ANL (Antarctica): Since most of the QSL requests for the 1997-1999
R1ANL operation by Nikolay Zinin,RW6ACM, from Novolazarevskaya Base
remained unprocessed by the previous QSL manager UA6AH, this task has
been taken over by Dominik,DL5EBE, now. After some delay he managed to
enter the handwritten log (14000 QSOs) into the computer and uploaded
all contacts into the LoTW. For those who would like to get a coloured
QSL please send him your QSL request via bureau, direct (QRZ.com) or
by e-mail request to: [email protected]
QSLs arrived direct: 6V7O (ON4BAG), 6V7P (ON4HIL)

Band plan extensions in France and Belarus:
-------------------------------------------
French HAMs enjoy an extended band plan for 40m since Jun 27, 2009.
The French 40m band goes from 7.000 to 7.200 MHz but they are still lacking
a final approval by the authority ARCEP.
In Belarus the upper 100 kHz of the 40m band were released as well. Radio
operations may take place in SSB and CW with up to 500 watts. This may be
extended to 1000 watts during special events like contests etc. They have
also extended the 160m band and the HAMs in Belarus may use the range from
1.810 to 2.000 MHz for amateur radio now. The new regulations in Belarus
are dated from May 14 but were published only now.
