Jim, K8ELR, forwarded this to me this afternoon:
KURDISTAN DXPEDITION NEEDS MORSE OPS

In my e-mail just now, I got the following:
Hi , Daniel
My name is Rick, and my call sign is XXXX. I’ve been a contester since 2004 when I became a ham, and I love it!

From the 2/18/10 ARRL Letter:
The ARRL Rookie Roundup is designed to help newly licensed amateurs build their operating skills on HF. It is a contest specifically for those new to Amateur Radio, similar to the ARRL Novice Roundup that ran from 1952 until 1995. The Rookie Roundup brings the fun and Elmering of the old [...]

Jim, K8ELR, has really gotten into operating the digital modes down at the museum. So, I was interested to see a notice on the HamRadioHelpGroup mailing list that the KB7TBT SSTV Web Page was back online. On this page, James, KB7TBT displays a number of live feeds.
Don, KB9UMT, the list moderator, asked if someone [...]

Tuesday night, I had a QSO [...]

Last night was a fun one on 80m, even though the only antenna I still have for this band is a low, 85-ft. random wire.
My first contact of the evening was with K4ZDH. The call was vaguely familiar to me, but when I typed it into my logging program, it didn’t find any [...]
