MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND ---> Sponsored by the Battleship New Jersey Amateur
Radio Station (NJ2BB), this year's Museum Ships Weekend will be held from
00.00 UTC on 5 June until 23.59 UTC on the 6th. Information on the event,
including the relevant certificate and the listing of participating ships,
can be found at www.nj2bb.org
T31UR & T31X ---> The Pacific Odissey team left Apia (Samoa) later than
planned and, after a bureaucratic hiccup, was expected to reach Kanton
Island around 25 May. However, when they were just 120 nautical miles away
from Kanton, their vessel's engine failed and the captain decided to sail
back to Apia (a 8/10-day voyage). "Such decision was determined by the fact
that the entry to the Kanton's cove without engines would be impossible",
the team says, "and the repair of engine in the ocean is impossible too".
Their current main concern is to reach Apia safe and sound ("200 liters of
fresh water left" and still 450 nautical miles to go on 28 May). Read the
latest update at www.uz1hz.com/pacificodyssey.html.
+ SILENT KEYS + Jakob "Jack" Laib, HB9TL (VK6CTL), the doyen of the Swiss
DX community, passed away on 24 April in Perth, at 82 years of age.
Licensed since 1956, he became popular on the DX scene in the early Sixties
by operating as 9K3TL/NZ from the Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Neutral Zone (now e
deleted DXCC Entity). "Noteworthy are also his many donations of equipment
to operators in third-world countries", Peter Langenegger, HB9PL says,
"which in numerous cases brought those places on the air for the first
time".
Other recently reported Silent keys include Vladimir Bozak (9A2B), Ludwig
Molenaar (P43LM), Pavel G. Mikhailov (RV3ACC), Aleksandr D. Kucherov
(UA3ZA), Yury A. Vershinin (UR0YC), Leslie "Les" D. Hepburn (ZL3FK) and
87-year-old Robert R. Brown (NM7M), PhD, who passed away on 23 May. He was
known worldwide for his contributions to the propagation studies,
especially on on 160 metres.
