I know this was posted several weeks ago but I just finished reading all the stories and it is really exciting reading.   If you didn't take the opportunity do so now as you will, I am sure, enjoy the reading.   Thank you Wino for passing along the information.   Rod WC7N   ----- Original Message ----- From: Wino Paas To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2003 2:23 AM Subject: [DX-News] Gatti Hallicrafters Expedition 1948 Updated The Gatti-Hallicrafters Expedition of 1947-1948, the first Grand HAM DXpedition ever, found its way to the WWW in June 2003. Besides the ARRL article (see QST December 1993), you can read the story Gatti told in International Harvester, and the (short) story of Bob Leo, W6PBV (now W7LR) I can tell now that there is a BIG update available. In this update both hams, Bob Leo W6PBV (now W7LR), and Bill Snyder (W0LHS), tell the story in their own words. Bob and Bill provided me with a lot of documents and pictures, which illustrate the many web-pages. Make sure you read both stories, they are very different. There is even a Dutch version available. The link is http://www.qsl.net/pa0abm/ghe/00ghe.htm Enjoy reading. Thanks to Bob Leo and Bill Snyder for letting me do this job.. 73, Wino, PA0ABM, devoted to CW
