Stern also seeks donations of used gear that he donates to newly arrived new-immigrant hams.  As a result of his efforts many have gotten on the air in Israel in only a short time after their arrival in that nation.

And if all that were not enough for one ham, Stern is also the Israeli Award Manager and  issues the awards and trophies for the Holyland and Israeli VHF-UHF Contests. (Hagal International)

In D-X, hams are usually out looking for D-Xpeditions.  Heres a twist. A future D-Xpedition is looking for you.  Jeramy Boot, G4NJH, explains:

Have you always wanted to take part in a major D-Xpedition, but never known how to get on an expedition team? Now could be your chance. Ken Holdom, ZL4HU, the leader of 'The Kermadec DX Association's' planned operation from the Chatham Islands - ZL7 - later this year, is looking for experienced SSB and CW operators to accompany the group. "As this will be a 24-hour-per-day operation, we are looking for operators who feel they have the willingness and ability to operate during both day time and night time," Ken says. For further information please contact the Kermadec DX Association, PO Box 7, Clyde, Central Otago, New Zealand or e-mail to zl2hu at clear.net.nz.

A D-Xpedition to San Felix became active on March 16th as X-R-Zero C. It was active for 14 days on all bands and modes. If you made contact, QSL via John Kennon, N7CQQ, P. O. Box 31553, Laughlin, Nevada 89028.

Lastly, N6DE and K6EP will be active from St. Croix through April 2nd. During the CQ World Wide S-S-B Contest, they will use the callsign WP2Z. QSL WP2Z contacts via KU9C, and non-contest QSO's to each operator's home callsign address.  (Various DX Sources)

THAT FINAL ITEM:  AN APRIL 1ST CB D-XPEDITION TO THE ISLE DU CONEY

Earlier in this week's newscast we reported that 11 meter C-B has no political clout. What it does have is a bunch of people who just want to have fun. Now, a group of them is planning what they call a People's Radio D-Xpedition from an exotic island location.  Roving reporter Pierre Pullinmyleg is here with the details:

Hopefully, Pierre will be back a year from now to pull your leg once again. (The April Fools Day File)
