its readers would like to send out our deepest sympathy to
the
family and friends of K5VT.

THE
QSL INFO! QSL direct to the QRZ.com TL0A address. "Neither Jan, nor
Paul,
will be able to confirm any contact. So we repeat, QSL ONLY via
TL0A.
Jan and Paul also mention, "We are unlikely to have internet
access
from the station. There will be no online log. This operation
could
not have taken place without Christian's full support, help and
cooperation.
We already want to thank him a lot for making this possible.
So see
you from the Central African Republic." Also mentioned, " Chris,
TL0A,
should definitively leave the Central African Republic in July 2010
and
probably return over to Niger (5U5U) next September."
