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!

Extended 40m band now also in South Africa
——————————————
Radio amateurs in the Republic of South Africa are now also allowed to use
the 40m frequency range from 7100 to 7200 kHz.

Four letter suffixes in Australia
———————————
It is still only little known that there are also callsigns issued with a
four letter suffix in “down under”. These callsigns have been issued to
Foundation Lincence holders since 2005. All Foundation class suffixes begin
with an “F” plus three more letters. Raj,VK4FRAJ, the son of Eddie,VK4AN,
is probably the only OP with such a call operating also in CW. It is not
very easy to describe this callsign in CW. Raj is allowed to work with a
maximum of 10 watts in CW and SSB on 80m/40m/15m/10m.

8P6DR —> Richard, G3RWL made about 3,000 QSOs during his 2-23 April
activity from Barbados. He says he had a computer failure “and the last 800
QSOs were made with hand-keying and a paper log”. All but about 10 CW QSOs
from the computer are OK on his backup, but all his RTTY QSOs are still on
the computer with no backup. QSL requests will not be confirmed until after
Richard has investigated (and hopefully fixed) the problem. [TNX G3RWL]

Dumpleton, 2E0NCG is the winner of the Radio Arcala Essay Contest [425DXN

www.rockall.be) [425DXN 935] has been cancelled. The team departed
Stornoway on 27 April with flat seas, but two days later, when they reached
the island, the waves were too high for them to attempt a landing. “The
weather is worsening by the hour and the weather forecast for the coming
days does not give any hope”, Theo (ON4ATW) said.

5Z4/IW0HEX (30m CW) in August 2008. Please note that his callsign was

direct or bureau.

UN2C —> One of our readers is looking for a reliable QSL route for UN2C:
I “have sent two times to Box 121 (all DX lists)”, he says, “but both
returned as undeliverable”. Is there anybody who can help?

TOP LISTS —> The latest Topband, Topmode and Toplist listings are now
available at www.425dxn.org/awards/toplist/index.html. Please note
