To top-banders,

I don't know whether you are aware that 160m is not normally permitted
on the main land of Thailand. However, at HS0AC we have special per-
mission to run a beacon on 1830 Khz each week on Wednesday evenings
from 13 to 14z on CW. However, this has been discontinued for the
summer months, and due to antenna problems. I hope to have the beacon
running again around September.
There is a similar ban on 80m operation and WARC bands on the main
land, but they do allow us to operate on 80m during international
contests.
Therefore, one of the attractions of operating from E28DX Koh Samui is.
was that the authorities did not impose the usual restrictions due to
being off the mainland. we are considering returning to E28DX, possibly
in May 1993 or next autumn because propagation conditions were so poor
on our last visit. If so, you can rest assured that 160m operation will
be a major objective.
There is another possiblity that if we can get a good 160m antenna up
at HS0AC we could perhaps get special permission to operate in one of
the international 160m DX contests. I think next autumn/winter would be
the best time. // snip //

Ray answered me for my question on 160m QRV in HS country, and then
I could get "E28DX" & "9M0A/Spratly is." on 160m by his efforts
in April 1994.
I guess the following e-mail address is still alive.
