why no Mexican stations during feild day
 

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.

We are very close to the XE border and didn't hear any thing from Mexico
either on HF.

I think our 6M station may have worked a few LOS

Possibly because the ARRL FD is for the USA, its possessions, and Canada.
EH?

Because the mexicans couldnt find a set of jumper cables to get the radios
started........

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:

But XE's operate here with no problem

Go figure

Because there are no Mexicans, dufus. They're all up here in the U.S. as
"illegals."

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.
