years. Ian was much travelled and formerly signed as GM4JAB,
ZD9BT, VP8GZ, J87BD and T2ITA. A former commercial band operator,
Ian enjoyed his amateur radio and was well known for his Scottish
wit and humour. From Tuvalu he was very active on HF and six
meters, mostly CW, before sickness prevented him operating
further. Ian is survived by his wife Fipe, five children and
three grandchildren. The Pacific has lost one of its more
colourful radio amateurs." OPDX and its readers would like
to send out our deepest sympathy to Ian's family and friends.

reminder), look for Charlie, W0YG, to be active as VK9XG between

week before him, will unpack and set up his station. David is
also bringing antennas and will install them as well (antennas
from Force 12). Charlie states, "While I cannot operate 24
hours a day, I will be on as much as practical considering I want
to explore sights on the island a bit. My present intentions are
to operate mostly when there are common periods of darkness
between Christmas Island and the States which will also mean many
other areas of the world will also have propagation and can work
me then too." Please QSL direct only to W0YG. No bureau
cards please.

Sheila/N5HGB, Gordon/N5AU, Robert/N5KO, Jeff/N5TJ and John/K5MR

going to operate mostly SSB with some CW and, they hope, RTTY and

they will use ZK1SSB for the CQ WW SSB Contest. QSL Manager is
W6ORD. They will not have a Web page. Don mentions that they will
be next door to Victor, ZK1CG, who has been a tremendous help to
them with their living and operating arrangements. They look
forward to meeting him and Jim, ZK1JD, who has the mast sections
they will use for the beam. Victor has offered his shack and
antennas if they run into any trouble. Their wives will be with
them, so they will not be on the air constantly before and after
the contest. They will probably operate a lot of late afternoons
and nights, getting tuned up for the contest. They will tear
everything down on the afternoon of October 28th.

ZW0, ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL ROCKS. Joaquim,
PS7JN, informs OPDX that he is planning a DXpedition to PY0S

the same phone line as BARF-80 BBS using a data/fax/phone switch.
To access: 1) Dial Number. 2) Wait for first ring (the second
ring should be a false ring from the fax/data switch box) and
then dial four quick ones ("1111"). (NOTE: Some FAX
machines that send single "BEEPS" every second will not
have to do this step.) 3) The phone will pick up and after the
"BEEP" leave your voice message or FAX.
