FYI
DX News
Yesterday we received sad news from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. HZ1AB (Hot
Ziggity One American Boy), originally the United States Military
Training Mission station and more recently known as the Dhahran
Amateur Radio Club has gone QRT. The club station was first QRV in
early 1947. Over the years more than 160 different Amateur Radio
operators operated from the station. SM0CXU/AB0CQ, Thomas Carlsson,
the secretary of the club station, reports "the new licensing
authority has by mid 2004 re-issued the call and new station license
requirements make it necessary to terminate all activity on the
bands." QSL manager K8PYD, Leo, has the logs and can confirm QSOs.
For more information about the HZ1AB club station check out their Web
