General information

   Denmark, OZ. Hi I (OZ6OM) will be QRV with OZ7CQ - CQ Contest & DX
group, in the Nordic Activity Contest 50 MHz section Tuesday October
22 nd. 17:00 - 21:00 UT. Now why use time to promote our operation,
can we win our section this way ? - No, but we would like to generate
some activity ! (I for one have my monthly four hours of 50 MHz - no
antennas at home) Seccondly we plan to try out an alternative QTH,
to see how it works. Thus We will be QRV from JO55GL which is on the
North/East side of the Island of Fyn. Here We're situated at one of
our high points at 58 Asl. with a resonable takeoff 360 deg. round the
clock.
The rig used is this time is an Yaesu FT-847 with 100 watt wich gives
our 2 * 5 Element Tonna Yagi more than 1 Kw. erp. This should be
sufficient to reach stations within a range of, at least 500 Km on
flat ConDX.
Usually We're round 50.173 MHz when calling CQ. Often skeduale is,
checking for ConDX, if none - starting in S directon, hereafter E/SE.
Round 18:00 UT SW toward the Benelux area.
If You should want to make a sked with us or hear more about our
working ConDX You're welcome to give us a call at the telephone, or
via email. We can be reached at +45 2066 7388 (also with SMS) mostly
at all times. email is oz7cq@qsl.net (latest monday evening)
More info about us can be found at our WebSite at the adress;

HV & 1A Log news. Sergio IK0FTA, writes; HV4NAC, HV0A and 1A0KM log
news Francesco, IK0FVC, informs all Radio Amateurs that unfortunately,
doing to a fail of HV4NAC computer, all files containing the log's

situation, but he can't confirm any more qso made previous of this
date. All others logs concerning HV0A are still active in an other
Hard disk, and qso's can be confirmed without problems. Reagarding
1A0KM, all logs are active, but, please, don't ask Francesco to con-
firm qso previuos 1994 activities because he doesn't have the logs.
Please, QSL to him directly only. Best '73 de IK0FTA Sergio.
