I think it is because Klein's home office was and still is in Chicago.

I will be departing on a business trip to Jakarta on October 16.  I will be in Jakarta for 
approximately 3-4 weeks, and then plan on taking a one week vacation on Christmas 
Island.

For Jakarta:  I will attempt to operate as YB0ASI (at AA4U's station) during CQWW 
SSB, but not sure if I will or for how long.  Please QSL to YB0ASI/AA4U.

For Christmas Island:  I have in hand a license with the call VK9XRS, but at this 
point have not made any lodging arrangements.  I know of the existence of The 
Christmas Island Resort , but would like accommodations less pricey and at a more 
desireable amateur radio location.  March 1994 CQ magazine makes mention of the 
VQ3, but heard a rumor it might be a part of the resort.  If anyone has any 
knowledge of accommodations on the island, please email me directly.  If the date is 
October 16 or later, don't worry since my brother, WR3Z, will be taking care of any 
email I receive in my absence.  When I do get on the air, I will attempt to operate 
160-10M, concentrating on cw.  If the timing works out, I may even be on during 
CQWW CW, but don't know at this point.  QSL for this operation via ND3A.

When I started contesting (so long ago I can't remember when) my main 
motivation for submitting my results was to see my call published in the 
national magazine. I believe the removal of contest rules and results in QST
would result in a drastic reduction in submitted logs, which is how they 
gauge the success of the event. I hope they don't do it.
