The VK9XG gang is also in full swing from Christmas Island. The island 
is infamous for their "red crab". DX News has a nice photo of some of 
the "herd" here:

The ops are a first class group from England who know what they're doing 
so, "Some of you need this one.....GET ON THE AIR AND WORK THEM!!"

I need them on 160. It is past time for me to get my 160 meter RX 
antennas out. The person who cuts hay on my place decided not to do a 
second cutting since he filled up his barn in the spring. Unfortunately 
he drug this out and didn't let me know until this week. I spent 
yesterday afternoon on the tractor mowing the fields so today's project 
is to start getting all the RX antennas back up which will take about 4 
days total for the entire assortment.

What are you still haven't you finished for an antenna project?? Chief 
Meteorologist Knucklehead Ned Perme at Channel 7 in Little Rock says its 
going to be sunny all weekend with cool WX so get out and finish that 
last antenna project. There is a ton of DX that has now fired up.

AND.................remember next weekend is the CQWW DX Phone contest!! 
Bernie, W3UR, will be publishing a list of special DX calls and stations 
who will be on the air this coming week so get ready NOW....
