VK2SG RTTY DX Notes, 8 January
VK2SG RTTY DX Notes for week ending 8 January, 1993 (BID RTDX0108)
 
RTTY DX Notes were not planned for the week ending 25 December as the
bulletin editors were with their families enjoying the holiday.  Syd,
VK2SG had planned to issue a bulletin for the week ending 1 January
but was indisposed.  Syd, we hope you are feeling and getting better.
 
A sampling of reports during Christmas week showed the following
stations active on RTTY: SP3BGD, S59AM, IS0AWP, CN8NP, C9RTC, C9RJJ,
ZF1WM, HK3SGP, ZP5FGS, OA4ZP, FG4FI, AL7BB, UW3AT, FG4FL, OD5PL, S79S,
ON5AHB, P5RS7 (RTTY Slim!), 7P8SR, FM5DN, D68ZL, ES7JW, YL2KF, OX3BV,
A22BW, KL7K, OH0MFP, YN1DE, 5R8DG, KW2P/KP5, and ZS1CI.
 
Our thanks this week go to CE3GDN, IK5AAX, I5FLN, KC4CH, NT3B, OH2LU,
WB2CJL, DJ3IW and the Central Europe DX-Clusternode DB0SPC, the NJ0M
node of the Twin Cities DX Packet Cluster Network, and ZS5S.  Thanks
chaps.
 
1993 started off with fine conditions on New Years Day.  We hope this
is a good omen for the rest of the DX year.
