Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet
Clusters Network, K6GS and N0TG for the following DX information.

7P8, LESOTHO (Press Release). Gene, K5GS, sent out the following press
release [edited]: Pista, HA5AO, arrived in Maseru, Lesotho, on the afternoon
of Friday, October 14th, with 4 suitcases weighing over 110 kg (242 lbs)
of radio equipment and gifts for the orphanages where he is a volunteer.
He began setting up the station and antennas on Saturday and will finish
on Sunday. The noise levels are S2-3 on the higher bands, but S5-6 on the
low bands. He has an appointment on Monday with the Lesotho Communication
Authority to pick up the license.
He has written confirmation that a special callsign, 7P8EUDXF, may be
issued celebrating 30 years anniversary of "European DX Foundation" (EUDXF).
At this time he does not plan to use 7P8AO, just depends on what is actually
issued on Monday.
He hopes to be on the air starting Monday, October 17th, for at least
10 days - look for him on CW, late afternoon and evening/night. Blackouts
are frequent, usually 15 minutes to 1 hour. If he unexpectedly disappears
without sending QRX or QRT it is possibly due to a blackout.
There is Internet access, he will upload logs daily to OQRS on -
HA5AO.com - he will operate has much as possible.
He begins working on his humanitarian projects at the orphanages on
Tuesday..... 73, Gene K5GS for Pista

CY9C ST. PAUL ISLAND DXPEDITION (Press Release/QSL Status). Randy, N0TG,
sent the following press release [edited]: QSL cards have been sent to
the printer. We estimate to start sending cards in next 3 - 4 weeks. LoTW
has been uploaded. Unfortunately, and mysteriously some data did not
upload to LoTW. We will investigate that and see what can be done after
we get finished with the distribution of QSL cards direct and Bureau.
