40 METER DX NET. John, VK6JB, is the moderator of a 40m DX Net that
presently runs on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 1200-1330z. The
frequency is 7077.5 kHz, but if this is unusable for some reason, they
will move the net to 7092 kHz +/- QRM. John states that this net may be
quite early in the morning for some stations and is interested in starting
another net possibly between 7.125-7.200 MHz if a clear frequency could
be found for the duration of the net. He adds, "As the seasons change,
so do the broadcast stations, but it is worth a try to find a frequency
so we can all join in on the DX net together. There are many VK stations
from the west to the east coast that would like to work you. If you can
join the present net or assist in finding a clear net frequency, please
send any frequency reports to vk6jb@wia.org.au and I will collate them.
I would also like to offer an open invitation to any amateur interested
in 40m DX, to join our YAHOO group. Address details are as follows:

4X0, ISRAEL. Operators Hal/W8HC and Jerry/K8OQL have announced their
return to Israel in October for another CQWW DX Phone Contest (October
25-26th) from the Holyland. In commemoration of Israel's 60th anniversary
in 2008, they have been granted permission to operate as 4X0C as a special
event/contest station from atop Israel's historical Masada National Park.
Masada was built during 37 BC to 31 BC by "Herod the Great" and served
as a "nearly" impenetrable stone fortress and palace. The site is located
in the remote Judean desert and is situated on a rhomboid-shaped table-top
plateau rising nearly 450 meters. This contest location offers a breath-
taking panorama of the Dead Sea and Jordan's Moab Mountains. Interestingly
however, Masada's actual elevation is near-sea level since the Dead Sea
below is over 400 meters below sea level. Masada is also known as the
site of one of the largest mass suicides in history when in 73 AD, some
960 Jewish Zealots took their own life rather than die at the hands of
the Roman legions that had breached the fortress walls. Hal and Jerry
will be hosted and joined by Ruben/4Z5FI for their Multi/Single operation
during the contest. QSL via W8HC, direct or by the Bureau. All 4X0C QSOs
will also be uploaded to LoTW as in previous operations (4X0WV). Hal will
QSL 100% via GlobalQSL.com. Additional information about this operation
can be found at: http://www.w8hc.com
