Listen for him on all the HF bands operating on SSB, RTTY, and CW. QSLs

You'll have plenty of time to listen for Alan, KE4TA. Starting in another
week or two, he'll be operating from Rwanda as 9X0TA, for the next three

QSL manager, N4GNR.
Until August 6th, you have a chance to contact the TX5EG team. They are
in the Marquesas Islands, and the group counts as a separate entity for
the DXCC Award. Send QSL cards to the team's manager, F6BCW.
Finally, here's a call sign to listen for - HD086QRC. It belongs to the
Quito Radio Club, HC1QRC ,in Ecuador, which is marking its 86th
Anniversary. Catch them on the HF bands whenever you can - members are

KICKER: THE ARRL GOES MOBILE?
DON: Our last story is about the ARRL. Well, no, not THAT ARRL. This is
an ARRL that operates mobile in Ontario, Canada, where it really gets
around. It's an ARRL that is properly licensed, but not to get on the
air. What we're talking about is a license plate seen recently on the
back of a Kia compact car, registered to a motorist in Canada. Two
members of the North Shore Amateur Radio club in Ontario, noticed a
fellow driver nearby not too long ago, with the license plate tags that
had those familiar initials - ARRL - followed by "365." The two hams,
Alex, VE3ZSH, and Sabrina, VA3AXU, even posted a photo of the car on the
club's blog. They noted that the person behind the wheel was a YL.
Unfortunately, she did not appear to be a fellow ham. There was not even
an antenna in sight. Just plenty of traffic - on the street, that is, not
on the bands.
