big radio problems". [TNX F5NQL]

a bureau card should resubmit via the bureau to SP5UAF, or  send  an  e-mail
request to either [email protected] or [email protected] [TNX SP5UAF]

will be forwarded to him.

the  HF  Remote  Base  located  in  St.    Croix,    U.S.    Virgin  Islands
(http://np2kw-hf-remote.yolasite.com/). This test has  been  established  to
allow amateurs to participate in the next  contests  (CQWW,  WPX)  into  the
X-treme  Category,  while  experimenting  creatively  with  Internet-linked
stations and other new technologies. Note that the  QSL  will  be  only  via
