North America and the world works Pennsylvania Amateurs. This is a
very late addition to the party, but when the suggestion was made,
I thought it too good to pass up. I will be modifying the online
summary sheets posthaste to incorporate a checkbox for the award.
And if anyone knows of any Hams who might be interested in
participating for the award, please pass this along to them.

For the next Strange Radio Event, 17..19 October 2008, I will be on
the air with the special callsign I I 2 S R T / 6 from JN62WM ;
it is a country house on a good position high on a hill, but sorrily
I will not have beams .. I will rely on a 18AVT from HiGain and hope
to be able to erect a 160 - 80m dipole too. The station will be
equipped with my old one: IC746 IC2KL and AT500, plus an IC7000 .
It will be a single operator operation, I'll be there from 16th October
to 20th October . As you know the SRE will be held only in Phone mode.
Being a special Call Station, I'll be allowed to operate all bands,
so I'll do 160 to 6 m if propagation allows me. I wish we will have a
good propagation, good weather and no qrm, and more , no storms. I hope
to meet you on the air, and wish you all the best DX on this Event.

Friends, The odds of once again experiencing all the challenges
that haunted me during my 2008 Six Meter trip to the Caribbean are
impossibly high so it is with much confidence that I happily
announce that I will return to San Andres 5J0 in 2009. Even
limited to 100 W and poor Es, a number of EU stations made it
into the log during two brief openings during the troublesome
trip. I am determined to prove that San Andres Island is not
"One Hop Too Far"! I will add a second op to help raise a
longer boom yagi and promise to insure that the KW amp is not
knocked about by Customs. Preliminary on-the-air dates are
June 17-July 5. A new website for 5J0M Caribe 2009 is now active
at: http://www.qth.com/k7bv/caribe2009
