> ZL1AMO BECOMES VERY ILL IN FIJI! Judy, AA7UC, informs OPDX that well
> known DXer, Ron Wright, ZL1AMO, while operating as 3D2RW in Fiji, became
> very ill and was admitted to the Lautoka Hospital diagnosed with collapsed
> lungs, pneumonia and was placed on life support. After a few days later,
> Ron was in critical condition and an emergency air ambulance was sent
> from New Zealand to pick him up and transport him back to a hospital in
> Auckland at a cost of $40,000! At one point Ron's daughter, Terri,
> informed Judy that Ron was in critical condition, unconscious and his
> kidneys were not functioning properly.
> As the OPDX Bulletin was going to print, the latest from Judy, AA7UC is:
> "I am writing to give you the latest update from Ron's daughter, Terri.
> The doctors say there is no change; however, Ron is stable. The swelling
> has gone down and the kidneys are starting to function better. Morphine
> and sedatives have been discontinued. They are now waiting for Ron to
> "wake up" which could take a couple of days. If he doesn't wake up soon
> the doctors will perform a tracheotomy. If you would like to contact the
> family directly, Terri's E-mail address is: [email protected]
> Ron and Jeanette Wright's address is: 28 Chorley Avenue, Massey,
> Auckland 8, New Zealand
> Terri's address is: Terri Wright, 9b Mayburn Road, Te Atatu Peninsula,
> Auckland 8, New Zealand
> The family thanks each of you for your prayers and concern. Let us
> continue to pray and hope." OPDX and its readers hope for a quick recovery
> for Ron, and we all will be waiting for his signal to hit the airwaves
> once again.
>
> 3C, EQUATORIAL GUINEA (Update). Vitaly, VE6JO, informs OPDX that he
finally
> received his visa! However, he did have a problem finding tickets, but
> now it is all finalized. He departs November 20th arriving in Malabo on
> November 22nd. There is very little chance for him to get his original
> license (3C2A) and set-up the station before the CQ WW CW Contest. So his
> callsign will be 3C2MV (unless it is easy and fast to change his license
> to 3C2A or 3C3A before the contest). Vitaly will try to operate in the
> contest with limited number of bands (more likely on 40/80 meters with
> an Inverted V). His attempt to get a 3 element SteppIR on loan was
> unsuccessful. However, he has purchased and refurbished a TH-3Jr in
addition
> to Sigma 5, and will use wire antennas on 40/80 meters and maybe on 160.
He
> has no antenna for 6 meters. He mentions, "Do not expect a big signal as I
> will run 100 watts (could not find an amplifier). I hope to operate on as
> many bands and modes as possible. However, I would like to ask everyone to
> be VERY patient with me. This is my first time on the DX side and I'm not
> sure how to handle the pile-up." Vitaly's activity will last until
December
> 12-13th (operating time) and depart Malabo on December 14th (this will
give
> him time to dismantle the station and prepare for departure). QSL direct
> only (He is not member of the National Association) with sufficient
postage
> and SAE.
