5W - WESTERN SAMOA Franz, OE2SNL, received the call 5W0SF and was already heard on 20m CW from Apia on OC-097 from where he is active until Aug 27. QSL via OE2SNL, via CBA ONLY!

KH5 - PALMYRA Mike, KH6ND/KH5, still stays on Palmyra, perhaps until October. He tries to operate on 160m almost every evening. PLEASE DO NOT call him twice on the same band since this minimizes the chance for a new one for somebody else. QSL via K4TSJ. The guys still ask for more donations to cover the tremendous costs of the KH5K DXpedition scheduled for October. See also DXNL 1207.

VK9 - COCOS KEELING ISLAND Bert, PA3GIO, starts his operation as VK9CQ from OC-003 on Aug 26 (not on Aug 16). QSL via PA3GIO, best via bureau. Check his website at: http://www.qsl.net/pa3gio/VK9CQ/.

ZK1 - SOUTH COOK Peter, DK6NP, is momentarily on the air as ZK1NNP from OC-159. QSL via DK6NP.

AFRICA

Operation will take place in SSB/PSK31/ RTTY and little CW mostly on 10/15/20/40m (but also on 80/160m) with a TS940, AL80A amp, R7000 and a windom antenna for the lowbands. QSL via AD6KA (with 1 US-$ return postage). His homepage is http://www.qsl.net/ad6ka/.

Ademir works in CW, Al SSB and RTTY (he is still new to that mode!). They have two radios with them but it may be diffi- cult for them to put them both on the air simultaneously.
