Box city, is indeed a real city on the Northern side where South Korean's can access as a group of 'seriously guided' tourists", Martti says. "Every step is highly monitored and it would be the greatest breakthrough for South Korea to be able to take a radio in at this time. Furthermore, if it is a South Korean Mr. Kim, why would he have QSL address in the North? Also, the North Korean postal infrastructure does not yet have P.O. Boxes." It should be added that both South Korean and Japanese amateurs indicate a wrong beam heading.

QSL D3SAF ---> Enrico, I3LLH reports he has eventually received ("not without difficulties") the logs for Gabriele, D3SAF through 10 March 2000. All requests received will be processed, but please be patient as Enrico says his spare time is limited.

The cost for VHS PAL and NTSC is US$ 20 airmailed from Perth (other versions such as SECAM can be done but at extra costs).
