Hi, my name is John, W9RPM. I am a friend of Abubaker Assid, 5A1A/DL1AL. As
many of you may know, he is currently in Germany going to school. Over the
years before going to Germany, he provided many of us with 5A1A in our log.
He has always dreamed of going to the Dayton Hamvention. Now that he is in
Germany, he is able to get a Visa to come to the United States.
He has very limited financial resources currently. He is going to school and
working a part time job.
I, with the help of Scott, KA9FOX am trying to help him financially to be able
to come to Dayton this year. I am asking for donations from individuals and
clubs to help make this happen. If any of you would be able to send a donation,
I would ask that you send a check or money order to me at:
John Kjos-W9RPM
2723 East Burr Oak st.
La Crosse Wisconsin
54601
Please make them out to me, John Kjos.
If for some reason Abubaker, 5A1A is unable to make the trip, all donations
will be promptly refunded. Also, I will keep everyone informed as to how things
are progressing.
It sure would be great if we as a Dxing and Contesting community could help
make this happen. I am looking at a time frame of having everything taken care
of my March 20th, to allow him to make arrangements. So I would need any
donations by then.
I ask you to please consider contributing to helping 5A1A make the trip.
If anyone has any questions, please email me at john@w9rpm.com or call me at
1-608-787-6004.
Thanks and 73 John W9RPM
