Updates: 5Z4/RW1AU News: Val is now QRT from Nairobi, and has returned to St. Petersburg. He made almost 12,000 QSOs on both SSB & CW, on 40-10M, and was very active during his temporary assignment. Effective immediately, you may QSL to either RW1AU or K5XK, Direct preferred. For QSLs via RW1AU, see Valery's personal info at www.QRZ.com/rw1au . 3B7FQ / 3B8FQ / 3B6FQ: Rachid traveled to St. Brandon and reactivated 3B7FQ from mid-August until early Sept '09. Although there were few if any spots on the DX PacketCluster network, Rachid reports he made 1,700 QSOs this trip. Unfortunately, HF Condx were very poor from the island with his modest equipment & antennas. Other trips are possible to 3B6 & 3B9 later this year...Stay tuned! QSL all of Rachid's calls via K5XK. Remember, there is no 3B8/3B7/3B6 Bureau. For the above DX stations please QSL Direct. This will insure a fast reply (normally within a few days). Expect delays via the bureau. QSL requests must include a self-addressed envelope plus sufficient return postage AS OF MAY 2009 THE COST FOR POSTAL REPLIES TO DX STATIONS IS NOW $.98 . One dollar no longer covers the cost of printing the QSLs and DX postage, so an extra USD is appreciated. New design IRCs stamped in left side box are acceptable. Thanks for the QSOs with these friends, & thank you for your cooperation!

K5XK Personal... Photo above is of Ron operating as K5XK/9 from our daughter's QTH in Logansport, northern Indiana. I used an IC-706mk2 and a small Force 12 'Sigma V' vertical dipole only 3 meters long, leaned against the swimming pool fence. It appears much easier to work across 'the Pond' from the more easterly longitudes! First licensed in 1962 at age 14 with WN5BQI / WA5BQI in Little Rock. Other calls were DA2ER and also Army MARS station DL5AG the U.S. Army Signal Corps in (Goeppingen & Ansbach) Germany. Our oldest harmonic has just moved to Landstuhl, so we are anxious for a return visit to DL-land. K5XK since '76. Recently relocated to Northwest Arkansas, where I was previously active from '87 thru '98, with a brief QSY to Joplin, MO. Radio interests are 99% CW ragchewing, chasing DX & casual contesting. Former DXCC Honor Roll, now just a 'little pistol.' Member ARRL, FOC & Ozark Wireless Society. The home station currently consists of a TenTec OMNI VI+ and modest wire antennas. Licensed 47 years. What a wonderful hobby! I'm grateful for many enduring friendships around the world. CU on HF! 73 / DX-is, - Ron, K 5 X K
