4U1UN NEWS. The following was posted on April 11th, on the United
Nations
Amateur Radio Club (4U1UN) FaceBook page [edited]: James, K2QI,
President
of United Nations Radio Club 4U1UN reports that as part of the STAY
HOME
movement, during the UN HQ building lockdown, UNARC was granted
special
permission to utilize a very limited remote operation possibility.
Con-
sidering the demand for DIGI modes for 4U1UN - operation will be
limited
to FT8 mode only. Please be advised that there is only low power
operation
possible at this point. Therefore no Fox/Hound is possible as
channel
power division will not allow any long-distance stations to be
worked.
The operator at the keyboard is James K2QI.

M0KRI (ex-9U4RI), will be going back to Uganda (second

A3, TONGA (Storm Damage). Paul, KK6H/A35A, informs: Tropical
Cyclone
Harold has done some severe damage to many of Tonga's beach

None

VP8PJ QSL CARD UPDATE. Gene, K5GS, reports [edited]: On Friday, April
10th,
the VP8PJ QSL card design was sent to Max (ON5UR QSL Print Service)
for
review and setup. After our final review is complete the cards will
be
printed and shipped to Tim, M0URX, for distribution. Thousands of QSOs
and
mailing labels have already been processed and are ready for place-
ment on
QSL cards and direct mail envelops. Bureau cards will be placed
in the
system in early 2021.
Of the 83,783 QSOs in the log, 30,548 have been
claimed and processed
for placement on QSL cards. LoTW is current, and
there are no busted
call requests in the work queue - to date, all 731 have
been investigated
and answered by Tim, M0URX.
Let's be realistic,
the Covid-19 crisis has disrupted the world.
Businesses are closed and
every facet of our life has been upended.
Please be patient, the cards will
be mailed as soon as possible. OQRS
and LoTW are processed daily. There is
no need to send e-mails asking
about the QSL cards.... 73, GS K5GS
ADDED NOTE BY GENE: LoTW uploads for all donors and anyone that submitted
an OQRS for a Direct Mail card have been processed. Requests that came
in
after the last upload (morning of April 12th) will process in the
next
cycle. The upload process is run daily. As stated on the website
(sorkney.com) QSL page, the complete log will be uploaded to LoTW 6
months
after the DX-pedition.
