At the moment, 9Q is once again the Democratic Republic of
Congo. I don't recall offhand when they dropped Zaire, I want to say about
3 years ago, but it could be longer (and I'm sure someone will correct
me!).
So we're back to having two entities named "Congo." So
it goes.

I guess if you're going to go illegal, you might as well go all the way.
My understanding is that if you operate illegally in some of these

the location was hidden from the authorities, and how they
This might seem like a dumb question but why the sudden interest in so-called freebanders. Operations on 11 meters have been around for years, otherwise known as CB or citizens band. Most of us amateurs started out on the CB band and a few have gone back there as well.
That's funny, I've been a ham for 45 years and
have known a lot of hams, but I don't know one ham who started out as a CBer. As
a matter of fact most hams I know have a rather low regard for CBer's and their
slang lingo. 10-4 good buddy?
