ZL1AMO BECOMES VERY ILL IN FIJI! Judy, AA7UC, informs OPDX that well
known DXer, Ron Wright, ZL1AMO, while operating as 3D2RW in Fiji, became
very ill and was admitted to the Lautoka Hospital diagnosed with collapsed
lungs, pneumonia and was placed on life support. After a few days later,
Ron was in critical condition and an emergency air ambulance was sent
from New Zealand to pick him up and transport him back to a hospital in
Auckland at a cost of $40,000! At one point Ron's daughter, Terri,
informed Judy that Ron was in critical condition, unconscious and his
kidneys were not functioning properly.
As the OPDX Bulletin was going to print, the latest from Judy, AA7UC is:
"I am writing to give you the latest update from Ron's daughter, Terri.
The doctors say there is no change; however, Ron is stable. The swelling
has gone down and the kidneys are starting to function better. Morphine
and sedatives have been discontinued. They are now waiting for Ron to
"wake up" which could take a couple of days. If he doesn't wake up soon
the doctors will perform a tracheotomy. If you would like to contact the
family directly, Terri's E-mail address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ron and Jeanette Wright's address is: 28 Chorley Avenue, Massey,
Auckland 8, New Zealand
Terri's address is: Terri Wright, 9b Mayburn Road, Te Atatu Peninsula,
Auckland 8, New Zealand
The family thanks each of you for your prayers and concern. Let us
continue to pray and hope." OPDX and its readers hope for a quick recovery
for Ron, and we all will be waiting for his signal to hit the airwaves
once again.
3C, EQUATORIAL GUINEA (Update). Vitaly, VE6JO, informs OPDX that he finally
received his visa! However, he did have a problem finding tickets, but
now it is all finalized. He departs November 20th arriving in Malabo on
November 22nd. There is very little chance for him to get his original
license (3C2A) and set-up the station before the CQ WW CW Contest. So his
callsign will be 3C2MV (unless it is easy and fast to change his license
to 3C2A or 3C3A before the contest). Vitaly will try to operate in the
contest with limited number of bands (more likely on 40/80 meters with
an Inverted V). His attempt to get a 3 element SteppIR on loan was
unsuccessful. However, he has purchased and refurbished a TH-3Jr in addition
to Sigma 5, and will use wire antennas on 40/80 meters and maybe on 160. He
has no antenna for 6 meters. He mentions, "Do not expect a big signal as I
will run 100 watts (could not find an amplifier). I hope to operate on as
many bands and modes as possible. However, I would like to ask everyone to
be VERY patient with me. This is my first time on the DX side and I'm not
sure how to handle the pile-up." Vitaly's activity will last until December
12-13th (operating time) and depart Malabo on December 14th (this will give
him time to dismantle the station and prepare for departure). QSL direct
only (He is not member of the National Association) with sufficient postage
and SAE.

In Kenya (5Z4) 30 meters operations are not allowed. The same applies
to RTTY spots. Alex does not work RTTY yet. QRN levels are giving Alex,
5Z4DZ, a hard time on 80 meters. That is why his 80m activity is low
at the moment. There is no QSL backlog, and all incoming cards are
anwered the same day.
