Hi,

Rcvd today the subject card from Monk Apollo as follows:

"Monk Apollo
Dochiariou Monastery
GR-63087 Mount Athos
Greece - Europe
sent 24 Feb 2003 w/SAE & $2bill
rcvd 17 Mar 2003 w/note on e-mail re SYcall."

Monk Apollo sent a nice note requesting help on the "SY" call confusion.
I will try to scan and post when I figure out how to do it.  I would rather
post complete instead of partial so will hopefully post soon.  I believe it
to be pertinent otherwise I would not mention.

Stay tuned..   Well I did it as follows:
"Dear friend,
I would like to demand your help to a problem that I confront. Recently, in 
the new regulation that made the Ministry, because the men that work there 
don't know that Mount Athos is special DXCC-country, give the "SY" as a 
special call sign to everyone who wants it.So there is a confusion to radio 
amateur world,who believe that those who use this call sign are from Mount 
Athos.Many Greek radio amateurs sayed their views to the Ministry,but they 
ignored them.I would be grateful if you send a message to the Ministry 
(E-mail:[email protected]) asking them to stop issuing the "SY" as a special 
prefix, and give it exclusively to Mount Athos.Thanks beforehand for your 
assistance.From Mount Athos, the "Garden of Virgin Mary" I send you my best 
wishes.God bless you. "

Did it by scanning to Lotus Word Pro which converted and then pasted here 
in Eudora.  Guess I can learn some
new things. ;>)

Thank you Monk Apollo for another qso and a new one on 40.   May the best 
be with you.
