Eugeny Ri1FJ suddenly showed up on the air late June. I have no e-mail
communication with the Island, as there are no
post/telephone/transportation services there, but company satellite
forbidden for private use. I was neither notified by Eugeny of his QRV, nor
about problems he had during this season. The only thing I know, - its him
who signs RI1FJ, as many hams wroked him reported this.
