From: The 5H1C team Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 7:11 AM Subject: 5H1C Zanzibar 2006 Dear Sirs, The F6KOP Amateur Radio Club team will soon be on the air again from Africa. A team of 9 operators (F4AJQ, F5VHQ, F6AML, F5JSD, F9IE, F2VX, F8BUI, F8BJI, F8IXZ) will operate 5H1C from Zanzibar island Tanzania IOTA ref AF-032 from 24th January to 2nd February 2006. Our group started operating DX-peditions a couple of years ago and recently operated from Togo (5V7C) in 2004 and from SA-020 French Guiana (TO7C) in 2004. Our operation will consist of 5 stations operating CW / SSB / DIGIMODES from 160 to 10m with a particular focus on remote areas with difficult path to Tanzania as well as on low bands. As usual, our team is getting there to put all stations on the air 24 hours a day taking advantage of all propagation openings. We invite you to visit the web page of our coming operation here: http://5h1c.free.fr We would appreciate if you could relay this information to your members. Our largest challenge this year will be extra weight. Due to the poor propagation conditions, we will carry several directional antennas as well as a power amplifier with us. As you may know, airlines luggage allowance have been decreased over the past year and with this regard, any help in supporting some of the extra costs linked to this will be really appreciated. In order to thank for any support, you would be listed on the sponsor page of our web page (with an average of 20000 visit during the operation), on our QSL card and in addition, we would make a special mention to your support in the article that we will publish after the DXpedition. You can find additional informations on our previous operations on the following links: French Guiana : http://to7c.free.fr Togo: http://5v7c.free.fr Please feel free to contact us for any further information. We thank you in advance for your support and hope to contact many of you on the air. 73 de Pascal - F5JSD On behalf of the 5H1C team

We left from Paramaribo on Friday at about 11.00 local time. It was a 4 hour drive to Nw. Nickerie. The first day we had some problems with the boat but another one was arranged very fast. At about 12.03 zulu we logged the first station on 20 m. You are number 8 in the log at 12.09 zulu GREAT buddy that you could spot us. The first day we had about 1200 qsos logged. The last one we logged at about 20.00 zulu the first day. Then we left for Nw. Nickerie. The river was really rough that day. In the evening we had Chinese food and went to bed early. The second day we left in time and we arrived at about 10.00 Zulu on the island. The tide was still too high. We did setup one station at that time and soon we had 20 on the air again. Propagation was not that well the second day and we had a problem with one of the generators. Anyway, we could still log another 1200 qsos. At 20.30 zulu we left the island. Then we took a nice shower at the hotel and drove back to Paramaribo whre we arrived at 23.30 local time. We had a nice time and we are very glad we could make a few hams happy with SA-092. Some pictures are attached now, but if you want I can put them all on a CD and send it to you. The guys will also download a few of them on their website www.lldxt.nl .. Again thanks very much for the work you have done to send the info to the different sites. Regards from Rob and Ronald and Ill talk to you again soon. 73 Ramon ( Biggie Biggie ) Pz5ra PHOTO 1   PHOTO 2   PHOTO 3

From: Wayne Yoshida, KH6WZ Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2005 12:38 PM Subject: For immediate release: Morse Code and antique radio featured on new song for John Lennon tribute FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2005 For more information, contact Wayne Yoshida, kh6wz@arrl.net, or 310-252-7726 Dave Glawson, WA6CGR, "plays" the radio in the new song "Johnny's Gone Away, a Tribute to John Lennon." The vintage radio used in the song is a BC-348-Q receiver modified for 115V, 60Hz. The studio microphone is "acoustically coupled" to the speaker. The CW in the song came from an MFJ keyer and Bencher paddle. The "other" radio in the photograph is "Golden Eye," an X-Band (10GHz) radio with 11W output, 0.9dB noise figure and a 30" dish for "background effect" in the photo. The song is performed by the group "Bleaume," guest starring Jon Gries ("Bar Starz," for 2006; "Car Babes," in post-production for 2006; "South of Heaven", ditto; and "Stick It," 2005, in post-production) written, produced and recorded by Tom Trefethen, with Alan Parsons, executive producer. The song will be featured at this years' John Lennon tribute event on December 8 at 6 PM in front of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood. The gathering culminates in a mass migration to Lennon's Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Multiple Grammy(r) nominee Trefethen (Ambrosia, Andre Crouch, Tony Joe White, Michael Nesmith) put into words and music his feelings and concerns regarding the senseless shooting of John Lennon shortly after Lennon's death in December 1980.

From: K2FF Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 10:54 PM Subject: SA-092 Papegaaien Eiland (Parrot Island) Suriname Gentlemen, Please feel free to post... Rob PA2R (PZ5PA) and Ronald PA3EWP (PZ5WP) are currently visiting Ramon PZ5RA in Paramaribo, Suriname. They operated in the CQWW CW Contest as PZ5C. Now on 3 December & 4 December from 1000Z to 2000Z each day, they will activate SA-092 Papegaaien Eiland (Parrot Island) using the callsign PZ5C/P. All QSLs for their entire visit to Suriname go via PA7FM. Some history concerning Parrot Island: One and only activation was by Johan PA3EXX on 8 June 2002 for a period of 10 hours. A total 956 SSB QSOs were made with the following breakout: OC 1%, NA 37%, SA 5%, EU 49%, AN 0%, AS 7%, AF 1%. This operation and documentation allowed the Suriname Group to be officially added to the IOTA program in June 2002 with the new designation of SA-092. Currently SA-092 is ranked #12 of South America's named groups. It has only 9.7% confirmed among IOTA members and is therefore considered RARE by their own standards (10% or less confirmed). It ranks approximately #150 in the most wanted category out of the 1,200 total island groups putting it in the top 12.5% overall. So wish them landing luck, good WX, and positive propagation for the weekend adventure! 73 - Glenn, K2FF/PZ5FF

From: Lin Ashford, G6HZI Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 4:53 PM Subject: *** NEW YL CONFERENCE NODE NOW ONLINE *** Dear Sirs, I would be very grateful if you could give some coverage to a significant development in amateur radio, for YL's - details below. Many thanks. Lin Ashford - G6HZI ======================================================= For immediate release PRESS RELEASE Female radio hams often like to have a chat with other ladies on the air - there aren't too many around at the moment though, ladies have reported feeling slightly intimidated when faced with so many male operators and often prefer to sit on the sidelines and become SWL's. So, here in England, UK we have come up with a groundbreaking new idea - an IRLP/Echolink Conference Server especially for YL's. *UKLOTA* can be found on node 270165 - Echolink and will be home to YL's worldwide. The Conference Server was set up by G6HZI - Linda here in Central England. Lin has been licensed for 24 years but spent far more time as an SWL than an operator due to raising a family and feeling a little offput by so many males on the air - "I often felt that it would be nice to have a chat with another YL, but there didn't seem many around. I have since learnt that many other YL's feel the same way so, I decided to set up my own Conference Server to help all the YL's feel more confident on the radio." (quote from G6HZI) Once the problem was realised, G4LCH (Repeater Keeper/Sysop for GB3DX and England Conference Server - node 7125) was asked to assist with setting up the node, which he has done and the node is now fully operational. *UKLOTA* hope to arrange regular skeds and nets and an interactive website is currently being developed. For further information, please contact: Lin Ashford - G6HZI g6hzi@hotmail.co.uk (44) 07967342438 ENDS
