the E-S-B-L infection, he is improving.  Intravenous feeding has been
discontinued and ZL1AMO is now eating solid food.

Rousch says that Wright is still weak but he is able to communicate.  In
fact, he�?Ts  doing so  with his family using a mobile phone.  And Roush
says
that Wright is anxious to resume his ham radio activities as soon as he has
recovered.  In  fact,  he continues to ask the family if they are receiving
e-mails from the amateur radio community.

Meantime, the International DX Association reports that the ZL1AMO Air
