RE: [DX-NEWS] 6O0X
The disallowed operation was Baldur's, from Glorioso. He thought/hoped/presumed his CEPT license would be good enough, as Glorioso is French. Upon leaving the island on which he had operated, his boat was pursued by pirates. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gary Danaher Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 23:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DX-NEWS] 6O0X The answer is to work first and worry later, but I have a very nice fold out glossy card from a 6O in Somaliland a few years ago that wasn't good for the same reason.

RE: [DX-NEWS] Merelda at VP6DI
We should not confuse her home-call (Pitcairn) operation with this one---different paperwork, perhaps? But I think N4KG is right---I recall hearing her on 17 CW (logged 1523Z, 21 Mar) and thinking OK, she does not do just 12m Her style is also unmistakable. As the man said, WFWL. But---an operation as different as this one provokes a lot of speculation from the unwashed (me, too). Garry, NI6T On Friday when I worked Meralda on 12 Meter SSB I asked her when would she be on 17 Meters. She personally told me her license permitted operation only on 12 Meters. I'm just reporting her comments to me. WFWL as always. Have fun in the pileups. Gary, K4MQG I have personally worked Meralda on 30M, 20M cw ssb, 15M ssb, and 10M ssb...plus working her on 17M and 12 M while at VP6DI... so quite obvious her license permits her to operate all bands...and I have qsl cards from her for proof. Ray...K6VX Are you SURE? I've heard her on 17M also, mostly around 17-19Z, working JA and LP EU and a few lucky USA guys. Her QSO 'style' is unique to her.

RE: [DX-NEWS] Ducie Schedule - Addendum
0700Z is the middle of the night. I doubt very much that they will set foot on the island until well after sunrise, which is around 1440Z. Add a guess for how long it will take to get basic survival stuff ashore, and then set up a station. Garry, NI6T They left Pitcairn at 01:00Z on Mar.15. So they should reach Ducie around 07:00Z on Mar.16(SAT). Kan said that it would not take long before they start QRVing on 14.195MHz after they arrive on the island. 73, Jay/AF2C --- 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/
RE: [DX-NEWS] Clicks in the 21MHz CW-portion
I also hear this signal in the SF Bay Area from mid-morning into the afternoon. Using the nulls on my pattern, the approximate direction is right over the North Pole. Garry, NI6T Hi Werner: The offending signal at my QTH on the west coast (Vancouver Island) is S8 and certainly seems to be coming over the pole from Europe, bearing 30 degrees from here. Regards Ron VE7NS Werner H. Berli wrote: omebody really fouls up the whole 15m CW-band! I can hear clicks S7, about 2clicks per second, from 20.980 to 21.110MHz.

Re: [DXR] OT editorial
It was Admiral Yamamoto himself, who planned the attack because he was ordered to do so, but who, having served in Washington as Naval Attache, knew Americans very well. When junior officers offered congratulations as reports of sunken U.S. battleships came in, Yamamoto, knowing the carriers had escaped, said: I fear we have only awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible rage. Three and a half years later, his country lay in ruins. Yamamoto was shot down by a P38 near Rabaul. Norman Gertz wrote: Dave..how very well said...

Re: [DXR] Palmyra Atoll Article
Brian et al: Well, it is radio-related, actually. The Kingman Reef/Palmyra DX Group was a participant in the purchase of Palmyra, to the extent that we sent team members down there last year to assist The Nature Conservancy in various ways, primarily in setting up ground-to-air HF support and ground-to-ground VHF support, and in providing medical backup (N4BQW) for some of the groups of potential donors that TNC flew down there. The iniitial QRV of Chuck, N4BQW/KH5, and the subsequent three-month operation of KH6ND/KH5, who logged 27,000 QSO's from Palmyra, were the direct results of this commitment, along with the brief, precursor operation on Kingman by N4BQW. These operations established a relationship with The Nature Conservancy that smoothed our way through Palmyra to Kingman Reef in October, for the K5K operation that logged 81,000 QSO's. The team stopped briefly at Palmyra, on its way to and in returning from Kingman. We had a brief glimpse of this magnificent tropical paradise, and most of our team operated a bit with /KH5 callsigns before proceeding to Kingman. Anyone attending Visalia, Dayton, Friedrichshaven, the LYNX convention, the Northwest DX Convention, and perhaps other, more local meetings, will be able to enjoy this episode in the planned presentations. $30M was essentially the purchase price, but more money was raised, and is being raised, to do the things TNC needs to do to restore most of the atoll to pristine (i.e. pre-WWII) condition and to install the improvements on the main islet, which will host future eco-tourists. This is a world-class destination for saltwater flyfishing, diving, birding and just general wildlife tourism. I believe this is the largest purchase TNC has ever made, and celebrated the organization's 50th anniversary in a big way. By the way, the guy swinging on the rope into the lagoon in the National Geographic spread was, I believe, the island's cook. Since our progress and plans wee announced regularly in the DX reflectors and publications, I am surprised that you were not aware of it. Garry, NI6T Brian - KF2HC wrote: I didn't see mention of this earlier - there's a nice little article about the Palmyra Atoll in the March issue of the National Geographic magazine. It's not radio related but it's neat to see what the rare ones look like. One thing I didn't know, before reading the article, was the entire atoll was recently purchased by the Nature Conservancy who plan to preserve it's unspoiled, never colonized beauty. The price tag? A cool $30 million.
