What might be funny is our recip agreement.
If I understand it we have such an agreement see URL: http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/reg.../io/recip.html But folks tell me you best buy a permit -- see URL: http://www.geocities.com/wd9ewk/xe-permit.html But XE's operate here with no problem Go figure -- Lamont Cranston The Shadow Knows --------------------------------------- "Ralph Blach" wrote in message ... wrote: "Dan/W4NTI" w4nti@get rid of this mindspring.com wrote in message hlink.net... Does anybody know why there weren't any Mexican station on at feild day. I have heard lots of Canadian stations, but none from Mexico. It would be nice if our friends from south of Border would participate. Because the mexicans couldnt find a set of jumper cables to get the radios started........ Well, I dont find that funny at all.

Apparently, you are unaware of the high level of poverty that exists in the country to our south. The sad thing is that such a statement is probably more true than it was humorous. I don't have any recent statistics but in the mid 1990's, it took only about $800/year [per person] for an average Mexican to cover all their living expenses in rural Mexico. With a family size of 6, due to sharing of housing and utilities (where available), that cost dropped to about $600/person. |
