YA5T ---> Thanks to Carl Smith, N4AA and QRZ-DX for provifing the following message from Peter, ON6TT: "I am the only one in Afghanistan at the moment, though the other team members (S53R, SM7PKK and ON4WW) will come in and out of Afghanistan as per requirements by their organization. For the next few weeks, or months, the operators will operate after their normal work duties, in small scale ham operations. Their work demands are very heavy and the living and working conditions are not always favorable. I may be on the air (local evening time) as of November 28, from Kabul. I'll be flying out of Kabul by the end of the week, but expect to be back a week later. Due to cargo restrictions on the humanitarian flights, equipment will only be low power, with limited antennas, restricting operation to the mainstream bands. Once the working conditions and security allow, the team will mount a much larger scale operation. The YA5T license has no time limit and allows the team to operate from anywhere in the country, all bands from 160 through SHF, with up to 500 watts". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** *** NEWS FROM THE WEB *** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH LOGS: The log search for T2T and T2SIX is now available at http://www.big.or.jp/~ham/T2T/ (SSB and CW QSOs only, digital modes will be added soon).
