VOA station manager on the island of Sao Tome. He and Lesley, N3TIA (S9YL,
S92YL and SV0LN) will live in North Carolina. His S9SS log has been uploaded
to LoTW and paper QSLs can be confirmed by his QSL manager N4JR. Log search
is available at http://s50u.s50e.si, and by the end of February more than
80.000 QSOs will be sent to http://logsearch.de/. All of his logs for
callsigns prior to S9SS exist only on paper (about 100,000 QSOs), but he
plans to create files of at least some of them for submission to the LoTW
over the next few years. He will do the A25/KY4P log first. [TNX S50U]
