Good morning Henry,
Most of us wrote off the poor condx in the ARRL 10 meter test
of December 1995, as being the low point of the last 10 years.
And we hoped that the 10 meter test in December 1996 would
show an improvement when/if Cycle 23 got underway.
But our F2 conditions here in ZL are not as good as we had
a year ago.
Does anyone have access to a propagation forecast for
December 14-15, 1996. What does VOACAP have to say about
the Stateside to South Pacific path on 28.5 MHZ?
Yes I promise to be QRV, if only to work Henry WB4HFL and
Chuck KE5FI once again...
BTW Henry, I hope you are not applying in Gate 2 for a new call.
I once had nice contacts with Don W6HFL (SK), who used the
phonetics *Hurray For Love*
73,
Martin ZL1ANJ

And to beat a dead horse just a little more (it's only fair) -
When I ran across my 610V last night while looking for something else,
I saw that we had received first choices on both's clubs' calls as
well as my own! What are the odds of THAT on three separate apps!
Must be picking what no one else would want. What a pisser!

Don't jump the gun in buying new CD-ROM's looking to have the
corrections for the Vanity Callsigns.
Radio Amateur Callbook. - The paper editions were sent to the
printers in early October and the CD's were send for pressing the 3rd
week of October. Obviously neither will have what will amount to 4,
000+ chnages. This new 75th Edition is sorely outdated from the start.
Combine the fact that RAC Publisher Ted Misa suddenly resigned in
October after the edition was completed leaves RAC in what was said
to be a quandry last I spoke with Ted's old secretary.
Buckmaster traditionally publishes in October which would be too
early but we could all wait for the April edition and all have what
to buy extra at Dayton.
QRZ Ham Radio could be a good source but you MUST check when the
Edition was pressed as they often are behind. One would assume their
Winter Edition to carry the November changes but don't count on it.
Either message QRZ and ask or buy only from a hamfest dealer that can
demo the CD or is real sure of the data date.
AM-SOFT World of Ham Radio is likely to be the first CD pressed with
the new Vanity Data. Pete is very proud of being up to date in his
seasonal editions. His lookup is pretty quick and the CD has an
excellent collection of shareware data.
My personal choice is to wait for the QRZ CD to be updated. Besides
having the lookup ability I want the Internet addresses registered
with each callsign in a home reference. Hopefully everyone has
regiestered theirs with QRZ. It is a simple process - just look up
your call and update the Internet address.

Someone get this guy a good shrink quick!!
It appears that he has either read too many conspiracy novels or suffers
from the delusion that the government is out to get him.
