LIFE ENTERS ROUTINE PHASE AT Z81X IN SOUTH SUDAN
As it is still the end of the rainy season on the Equator in Africa, members
of the gang at Z81X have been spared many potential problems. With only a few
rain showers experienced, main outdoor activities were completed in record time,
and no rain or mud is bothering further efforts. But even more important,
mosquitos spreading malaria are few and far between. However, team members use
mosquito nets --- to keep out mosquitos during the night hours.
Agreement was reached on power, and nighttime juice is now available with
extra compensation agreed for the cost of fuel. Also, with some private space
added, life is now so much better than at the outset.
Regarding the radio mission, initial low-band (160 and 80M) targets - 1500
and 2500 QSOs respectively - are exceeded with a total of 933 USA and 595 JA
QSOs on those two bands, but every effort will be made to push the numbers even
higher tonight before contest traffic takes over all bands on CW.
During the contest weekend, the team will have two dedicated stations with a
focus on 80 and 40M SSB and the still much needed 30 and 17/12M. Keep an eye on
those bands as the Z81X crew will keep running there DXpedition style.
The CQWW CW contest will see the team making three (3) single-band entries
for your Zone 34 multiplier pleasure:
Z81R by OH2PM on 10M, via OH2BH
Z81X by OH0XX on 15M, via OH0XX
Z81Z by DL3DXX on 40M, via K4ZW
As these efforts are only semi-serious, you shouldn't be surprised to see one
of the Z8s appear on other bands as well.
There will be pictures available of this operation on the Z81X QRZ.com page
later today.
Following the weekend, site teardown will start on Monday and the team will
be heading home on Tuesday.
Best regards from the newest African country, the Republic of South Sudan.

NAQCC WV Chapter Portable Operation
The West Virginia Chapter of the NAQCC Club will be transmitting from "Fort
Scammon" in Charleston, West Virginia, on Wednesday, the 20th of November, from
noon till 3 pm (1700- 2000 GMT).
I'll be using my Icom 703 @ 5 Watts with a PAR end fed 40-20-10 meter
antenna. Main frequencies will be 7.062 and 14.062 MHz.
Although not well know in the Charleston area, this "earthen structure" is
located across from the mouth of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers at an elevation
of around a thousand feet. It is one of the highest points in the city.
Fort Scammon was the site where the 19th and the 25th Presidents of the
United States (Rutherford B Hayes and William McKinley) commanded troops
and about a dozen "cannons" which controlled river traffic into and out of
this part of the state.
The manufacture or "salt" was a significant business in the Kanawha Valley
at that time and was important for preserving food items. The control of
river traffic into this area was an important advantage to both Union and
Confederate troops.

Official Licenses for 9Q0AR & 9Q0HQ
Message from Henk Hinssen, ON4AHF
Finally, after three years of negotiations with the authorities in D.R Congo,
we have official approval from the Ministry of Telecom (ARPTC) to use the
national clubstation call 9Q0AR and special event call 9Q0HQ.
We now hope that DXCC desk accept our callsigns.
