5N - NIGERIA
Bodo,5N0OCH, writes: “I uploaded a short video clip with impressions of
my 5N activites to YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=sztmmg7FJLs)
We will have finished the works at the new antenna for Voice of Nigeria
in about three weeks. This antenna of the type HP-RCA 4/4/h is the
biggest HF antenna in the world and is already in operation at several
radio stations. It has 32 stacked dipoles, 16 each for 6-15 MHz and for
15-26 MHz. The antenna has a gain of about 18-24 dBi and I will be able
to use it for amateur radio for a few days. Many are interested in
working 5N on 160m but unfortunately this antenna does not cover this
band. However I plan to put up a 40m long vertical connected to the
complete ground network of the radio station by the end of September.
More plans include a beverage to Europe. Unfortunately I cannot promise
to realize all my plans because priority lies on my work. Be sure that
I will do my best to activate the lowbands. Many greetings from Abuja!
Vy 73 de Bodo,5N0OCH”.

Growing amateur radio community in China:
—————————————–
The Chinese amateur radio sports association CRSA recognizes a growing
number of radio amateurs in China with 90.000 licensees now. This is
very remarkable bearing in mind that the number of cellular phones and
internet accesses is growing much more in these times. This is reported
by the British news portal of the Southgate Amateur Radio Club.

7O1YGF (April 16-26, 2000) approved for DXCC credit retroactively:

After the DXCC Desk has checked some new information about the 7O1YGF
DXpedition in 2000 the Desk has decided to approve this operation for
DXCC credit finally. If you submit a single 7O1YGF QSL card the applicant
will not be charged. The cards may be checked also by DXCCm Field checkers.
QSL cards of 7O1YGF are still available via the QSL manager DJ3XD who has
all logs including SSB and RTTY. The QSO data will be uploaded to the LoTW
as well.
—
QSL cards of ZS8T will be accepted for DXCC credit as well. Petrus,ZS6GCM,
made only a few QSOs from Marion Island unfortunately.
