I found him! I was trying to send e-mail to WJ2-zero! Didn't I see someone
pleading for a slashed zero?
Hope my logs are in better shape!
Tnx............"victor"

A new contest club has just been officially sanctioned and licensed by
the Federal Communications Commission!
The Paladin Contest Club ("Have key (or mic) will travel") now has the
enviable call of:
KC7KFD
The club has members (In Seattle) available to operate from any major
station (multiple large antennas on multiple tall towers) during any major
contest.
We will be having a vote of all members to determine whether to keep this
stellar callsign or apply for a vanity callsign when the opportunity
arises...

Subject: BS7H Negative Comments
Message-ID: <52950416034425/0006636049PK1EM@MCIMAIL.COM>
I find the number of negative compaints about the recent BS7H operation
rather ironic. While we worry about what type of operating chair keeps our
posterier most comfortable or how long 1X0DX took to answer our QSL sent
via FedEx, there are those who are willing to do whatever it takes to put
a new one on the air.
Gone unrecognized are the countless hours spent building good will and
friendships with our fellow BY amateurs. Remember what a thrill it was to
hear BY on the air for the first time in many years? Obtaining appropriate
permission to satisfy the DXCC gods, the logistics with the BY licensing
authorities, approval of landing permission from BY military authorities,
transportation and provisioning logistics in a challenging county, etc., are
but a few of the challenges the BS7H team faced.
Give the team credit. Their mission was in a political hot-spot prone to
variable weather conditions which could potentially prove life threatening.
Unlike others, the team established appropriate networks to address these
concerns to bring fellow DXers a "new one".
As you sit in your easy chair sipping your microwave brewed coffee, think
about the boys out there building team spirit in spite of the amplifiers
going south, cold coffee, smelling BO, etc. They're doing this so that
their fellow DXers can enjoy the thrill of working a "new one".
Sincere thanks to the BS7H team for their persevance in making a "new one"
a reality for the DX world. Look forward congratulating you in person at
Dayton / Visalia.
Cheers,
Fred, K9VV@mcimail.com

I was an operator at KW8N along with NZ4K and Bob and to set
the record straight for anyone who might question our score.....
We use a lockout device to prevent us from transmitting on more
than one band at a time. If you have ever worked us before during
phone SS and have ever wondered why we might not of come back to
your call right away now you know why.... I'm just wondering, are the
other multi ops out there who made 2000+ qso's in 1994 SS phone also
using 2+ transmitters and a lockout device or just one transmitter...
I'm just curious.
