Andorra, C37NL EA7KW, Jose, has been invited by the Andorran Amateur Radio League "Unio de Radioaficionats Andorrans" (URA) to operate as C37NL from a brand new shack on a hilltop near La Rabassa. (This is located in the famous amusement park "Naturlandia", where the 5.3 km world record length helter-skelter "Turbotronc" slides down the slope.) Jose will also give the members of the URA a lecture on six meter propagation and operating tips on Tuesday the 9th. URA's operators may occasionally join in and operate the station. In spite of the challenging mountainous country the path to EU and NA is almost clear for sporadic E openings. Grid Locator is JN02SK. More: information - click here

Afghanistan, T61AA VK1UN, Ross, plans to get on 2M and 6M EME (aka "moonbounce") from Afghanistan, grid MM57. He notes the old YA prefix is no longer in use, so T6 is now the official prefix for the country. He has the callsign T61AA. He was on 20 SSB for as much as an hour a day recently from his QTH in Faizabad. Ross has previously operated as VK1UN, VK8UN, 4W6UN and EX1UN. Ross will be there for up to two years and is equipped with a Tokyo Hi-Power amp for HF and 6 and a new Acom for HF and 6, a 2x8 element on two but he plans to add to it when the weather cooperates.
