BREAKING DX NEWS: GROUGH ISLAND "SLIM"
Hams making contact with a station signing ZD5KN on Gough
Island will not be getting any credit for the contact. This
is because Zed-D-9-K-N is what DX'ers call a "slim" or a
"pirate" operation.
According to the Ohio Penn DX Newsletter several sources
report that ZS1A, has confirmed that the callsign ZD9KN has
never been issued. As such the advice being given is to not
waste time working this station if you happen to hear him.
But there is some good news regarding this rather rare
entity. Word is that ZS6KX will be going to Gough Island
sometime this month and will be there for a year. He is
hoping to be issued the callsign ZD9KX and is waiting for
the approval of his license. No QSL route has yet been
announced so look for more details to be forthcoming. And
we will have more DX related news later on in this weeks
Amateur Radio Newsline report.
