[TNX The Daily DX] OPERATION CANCELLED ---> Bad weather conditions have forced OG9X, OH2HAN and OH6XX to cancel their 25-29 October activity (OJ0B, OJ0X and OJ0MI) from Market Reef [425DXN 1120]. QSL ET3AA ---> "Anyone working ET3AA should no longer use the P.O. Box 7392", The Daily DX reports, as the widow of the late Sid May, ET3SID "has apparently refused to give the P.O.
