       _R_o_t_u_m_a__F_i_j_i_.

       3D2XN and 3D2XR have been active especially on 10 and 15
       meters from Rotuma Island.  Although Rotuma is part of Fiji,
       the operators hope to qualify as a new DXCC country.  Work
       them first, the decision will be made at a later date.

       DJ6SI/T5 has gone QRT after a very successful one week
       operation from Mogadishu.  QSL via his home call.

       _1_6_0__M_e_t_e_r_s_.

       Operation on the 160 meter band was at an all time high in
       the contest last weekend.  More than sixty countries were
       reported active and some stations in North America worked
       more than fifty.

       _M_a_l_a_w_i_.

       7Q7LW is still active almost daily Les frequents 28500 to
       28510 kHz from 1900Z.

       _C_y_p_r_u_s_/_A_s_i_a_.

       Four operators are signing DL0/HSC/5B4 from Cyprus.  This
       operation is from the Asiatic part of Zone 20.  CW only is
       being used, on 160 through 10 meters.  QSL via DF8ZH.

       _C_o_m_o_r_o_s_.

       D68AM is again active after a long absence.  Alain likes 29
       and 21 MHz ssb.

       _F_r_e_n_c_h__A_n_t_a_r_c_t_i_c_a_.

       All the FB8 countries in the Southern Indian Ocean will be
       manned by new crews starting in mid-November.  Each crew
       will include at least one licensed radio operator.  Call
       signs will probably be FB8WH/WI, FB8ZP, and FB8XZ.  Look for
       activity around the end of November.

       _S_t_.__H_e_l_e_n_a_.

       Jerry, ZD7BW, has been reported on 28600 kHz from 2000 to
