>From Robert, S53R/YA5T YA5T has not been much on the air during the past week due to work commintments. It really is hard to get on the radio after working for 18 hours and you have to be up at 7 o'clock in the morning - day after day. However, since our last report we have hit over 17,000 QSOs.
FIrst US contact on 80 also came through. I bet you know who that was! Bob, W6RJ - and it was on SSB long path. Bob serves as a beacon every day,hi! In folowing days N7UA nad W6KW were also worked CW with very good sigs. Don't forget we are using 100W and a piece of wire. 160 is going well with some 400 Qs, but no US so far. ICOM America is sponsoring a PW1 kilowatt amplifier, so I hope we are getting closer and closer to YA - North America contact! Mark, ON4WW, left Kabul today and will do some ground work for WFP in the next weeks in northern part of the country. Peter, ON6TT, was here for 2 days, but just too busy to do any radio. I stay for another 3 weeks and promise to be on bands as much as possible. So, CU in the next days from 160-10. 73 Robert, S53R / YA5T --------------------------- Steve Wheatley KU9C PO Box 5953 Parsippany NJ 07054-6953 U.S.A. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ku9c.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
