Since the TX5S mailing was posted on May 13th the next phase of envelopes were labelled ready for the J38R Grenada and H40WA Temotu Province QSL mailings. There was a short wait for customs authority to release our QSL parcels, then for the last 10 days work on preparing for the dispatch, we promised an end of May deadline and I made every effort to meet this working many hours. The mailing will leave here at 16:00z on Tuesday 28th May to get to Heathrow International Distribution Centre for onward flights.

In preparation the mail is country presorted and bagged and labelled for arrivals at the recipient mail centre. Also posted are TX5S, H44WA, 5Z4VJ and all recent OQRS and direct QSL requests.

The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) warns it suffered a serious online incident, which disrupted its IT systems and online operations, including email and the Logbook of the World. ARRL is the national association for amateur radio in the United States, representing amateur radio interests to government regulatory bodies, providing technical advice, and promoting events and educational programs for enthusiasts around the country. On Thursday, the ARRL announced that it suffered a cyberattack that disrupted its network and systems, including various online services hosted by the organization. “We are in the process of responding to a serious incident involving access to our network and headquarters-based systems. Several services, such as Logbook of The World and the ARRL Learning Center, are affected,” explained ARRL in a press release. Logbook of The World is an online database that allows amateur radio enthusiasts to submit electronic logs of successful contacts (QSO) and confirmations (QSL) between other users.
