ANTIGUA QRT...I am now on my way home from Antigua....rough summary is 1822 contacts (includes dupes) in at least 57 countries..for 8 days of operation. The band conditions were very good and there were openings to Europe and North American almost every day. My hands got tired from sending morse code. Thanks to everyone for working through such strong pile ups and Qrm. Thanks to my family for letting me miss breakfast, lunch, and supper on a family vacation. QSL is to Jimmy Treybig, 10915 Bee Caves Rd., Austin, Texas 78733 , USA. If you want confirmation via email, please send time and date. Jimmy W6JKV

!pseHi all, I am Shirow; JF6DEA/KE1EO, still alive :-)
It seems good propagation between JA and EU/NA.
I have been keeping operation of JA6YBR beacon on 50.017MHz
since 1985. I hope to confirm our beacon can be received or not
in Europe. So could you please tune on our beacon when you have
good propagaton to JA (specially JA6 area) and put the report into
any cluster or inform me to jf6dea(at)ja6ybr.org.
JA6YBR is operating 50/10/1/0.1W using horizotal polarization.
Detail is on the web site at
http://www.ja6ybr.org/beacon/new/index.html
Thanks and FB DX 73's from Shirow.

Hi Dan, This is very sad news indeed, Bill will be missed and the band a it will be much quieter place without him now. Even less of the old brigade left now, my sincere condolences to you and the family. R.I.P. Bill.

Hello Dan - Thanks for letting us know about Bill - sorry for your loss - I have good memories over the years Bill was on 50 MHZ. Take care and regards to the family. Another missing call on 50 MHz - getting less and less each year. 73

Bill Lee, GW3MFY passed away in the early hours of Friday Morning. He had been fighting the final stages of Cancer for the past 7 months, and my gosh did he fight! Most of you will know that Bill loved 6m! I have him to thank, for getting me interested in the magic band back in 2001! I shall certainly miss my grandfather on 6m! Let our thoughts be with him.
