MM0DFV: 7.000 km across Europe and Asia:
----------------------------------------
Jurij,MM0DFV, started his 7000 km trip across Europe and Asia on July 7. He
has a mobile HF radio and will try to become active from several countries:
GM - Scotland as MM0DFV/m,
G - England as M0DFV/m,
F - France as F/MM0DFV/m,
ON - Belgium as ON/MM0DFV/m,
DL - Germany as DL/MM0DFV/m,
SP - Poland as SP/MM0DFV/m,
EU - Belarus (call unknown),
UA - Russia (call upon arrival) and
UN - Kazakhstan probably as UN/RN3FX.
He will work mainly in PSK and plans to send different QSL cards from every
country. He plans to be back in Scotland on Aug 10.
Less activity by 4U1ITU in the future:
--------------------------------------
Gerald Lander,HB9AJU, states that the callsign 4U1ITU will be put on the air
only very seldom in the upcoming future. The restricted activities are the
result of a general assembly of the International Amateur Radio Clubs IARC
in May. Several reasons led to this decision including increased security
levels at the ITU headquarters, a changed recognition of amateur radio in
international communication and last not least that 4U1ITU is not belonging
to the most wanted countries anymore. The IARC decided to focus their
activities on special modes or conference delegates and to limit all
overnight and weekend activities as much as possible. Finally the new
antennas were installed on top of the Varembe building. You can see them at:
