From: dailydx-bounces@kkn.net on behalf of RICHARD BOYD [ke3q@msn.com] Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 07:46 To: dailydx@kkn.net Subject: [The Daily DX] Vol. 10 No. 074-A - April 22, 2006 ======================== *** The Daily DX (c) *** ======================== Volume 10 Number 074-A SPECIAL BULLETIN April 22, 2006 Editor/Publisher Bernie McClenny, W3UR Edited today by Rich Boyd, KE3Q ______________________________________________________________________ DX News ______________________________________________________________________ Here is a quick special bulletin, in addition to the regular Monday through Friday issues. The regular Monday morning issue of the Daily DX will come out at the normal time. VU4AN/VU3OHA, (operator Bernie, W3UR), plans to do RTTY tonight, Saturday night, U.S. time. He says, "I suspect that will be around 200Z on 20M, signing VU4AN/VU3OHA somewhere near 14080 QSX up. This may very well be my only opportunity to do RTTY. No skeds - no special requests - as you will have no way to contact me. We plan to be QRV through sunrise `our Monday.' Then we have to scramble to take down antennas and pack quickly so we can make our noon flight Monday. We are making every effort to be on for the North American openings on 30 and 20 meters, which are few and short. Also, we will check 17 and 15. We only have one station and try to be QRV 24 hours a day." YV5LIX suffered a heart attack during the Aves Island, YX0A, expedition, and did not survive it. The Venezuelan Navy sent the ship helicopter to pick up YV5EED, Ramon, one of the medical doctors on the expedition, and the body of YV5LIX, Jose. Ramon is accompanying Jose's body back to Caracas. After about 16 hours off the air, in memory of Jose, the expedition changed callsign to YV0LIX and continued no the air. W3LPL reports that the ARRL home page has further details. ______________________________________________________________________ Credits ______________________________________________________________________ Many thanks to the following for the above DX information: W3LPL, W3UR and W4DTA. ______________________________________________________________________ Copyright (c) 2006 by Bernie McClenny ______________________________________________________________________ W3UR, Bernie McClenny, publishes THE DAILY DX (c) Monday through Friday.
