Roger will update us on the callsigns and licences before he leaves on October 15th. There is an outside chance of him operting from India , but he is having trouble securing a license. It has been reported that Gerard, F6EGX, has received the callsign VU3AGX . Look for him to be active with his IC-756 radio using a quad and dipoles. Four to five operators from the Radio Club Partizani, will activate this Albanian during the period between September 2-15th , using the callsign ZA0IS .
More details are forthcoming.
Edwin, ZS5BBO, reports some good news and bad news regarding Ian, ZD9IL , and the Island of Tristan Da Cunha. Ian was just recently on holiday to Cape Town in South Africa, but is now headed back to ZD9 land. The good news is he should be back on the air by September 5th . Edwin continues to appeal to local Hams in South Africa and others for assistances to help sponsor to get the antenna to ZD9. Therefore, Ian will still only be operating using dipole antennas and 200w.
