MESSAGE: (#456) DXing from the Marshall Islands AUTHOR: Jim Todd DATE: Friday, 29 March 2002, at 00:13 GMT For those of you following our sailing adventures on "Morning Wings" we are now in the Marshall Islands. Carol (kc7tsx) is now v73sx and I am v73kz. (in real life I am Jim, kc7okz) Everything is up and working fine. The Yaesu FT-900 was put into sevice on the way down from Honolulu when our ICOM-706 bit the dust. It is now repaired and functioning. We set up on the atoll with our little Honda genset (only 1000 watts) and a couple of Hamsticks.Everything worked great. For now we are doing everything from Majuro (oc-029) but within the next couple of months should be able to get out to at least two of the unactivated atolls and put them on the air. Probably Ujelang will be first. ********************************************************** Jim Vining - N8JV , Flint, Michigan ********************************************************** Economy 101 states: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, A depression is when you lose yours ********************************************************** ------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems, etc DX-NEWS http://njdxa.org/dx-news DX-CHAT: http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX NEWS items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/
