IH9P counts as a separate 'country' multiplier in
the CQ WW DX Contest and is in Zone 33.
It does NOT count as a separate DXCC entity.

Hmmm
At the time of the 24 MHz QSO, 1246Z, it is quite late at night in VK9W.
On the other hand, it is daylight in UK9 and VLAD is a more typical
name in UK9 than in VK9. Also, there ARE single suffix calls in UK9.
Sounds like a busted call to me.

I believe Ray worked for the State Department.
Perhaps you could track him down through them.

Might want to start there when doing
out the callers, reducing the size of the pileups on each
station which facilitates higher rates for each station. The more
stations on the air, the better this works.
The K1B DXpedition exemplifies both of the above principles.

ALL of the CE0's have had DXpeditions which received special

perhaps they have finally received authorization, but I don't know

What about XR0Y in 1995
Force 12 uses computer design for their antennas
so the gain numbers should be accurate.
It would be even more beneficial to add a second antenna
at one half your tower height (12 to 15 meters) to fill in the
unavoidable NULLS in the pattern in the vertical plane.

Are you speaking of SSB?
9M's do seem rare on 10M SSB although
I do have some QSL's for QSO's in the 1980's.
There is LOTS of CW activity on 10M by
9M2AX, 9M2TO, and contest / DXpedition operations
from 9M6NA, 9M6OO, 9M6AAC, almost yearly in Nov.
around the CQ WW CW DX Contest.
