2004-01-16 Thread John Warren

[DX-News] YIs in ARRL/SSB Contest?

2004-03-02 Thread John Warren
Does anyone have a way of asking some of our American service folks in Iraq to try 40M SSB around their sunrise (0322Z) on March 6/7 for the ARRL DX contest? Of course, they might have other things on their minds. John, NT5C. --

Re the news release from Kan JA1BK about KH8SI, which was just distributed by The Daily DX. Kan JA1BK sure knows how to make friends and influence people! If he feels so strongly that the facts support his case for American Samoa KH8 gaining IARU membership, why doesn't he go back to ARRL

2005-10-16 Thread John Warren
I'm still looking for someone in Iraq who is interested in trying some skeds on 40M SSB. David YI9QWO has left the country, and Korey YI9VCQ is just about to. Korey suggested that I get in contact with the Hammurabi Net of American hams (military, contractors and civilian) based in Iraq.

[DX-NEWS] ZD7X visit to ZD9X

2008-05-26 Thread John Warren
I have drawn a blank re getting an answer from Tom ZD7X (or from his manager Laurent W0MM) about Tom's upcoming trip to ZD9X. I assume it's still on? I'd just like to know more about Tom's low-band plans there, and to encourage him to try 40M, which I think could very well have the best
