[OKDXA] VU4

[RHunt at tulsacc.edu]

Now I can respond to Gene's query. I'm elated, relieved, & jubilant today. 
Received W0GJ's QSL
for Andaman. (VU4AN/VU3RYJ) today. That does finish the 335 Gene. Whew ! 
Andaman is an
extremely difficult path from this QTH. Openings were about 20 minutes at 
1300Z and then nothing.
Hope those of you that needed it worked it. I understand there are two 
newly licensed amateurs
on Andaman now. They need a decent antenna to reach the other side of the 
world though. Hopefully
they can get it together and working. Looks like the rule change will add 
another entity or two to the
list.  Hope everyone can participate in Field Day next weekend. HamCom was 
another great fest.
Dave Duskin was busy checking QSL cards at the LSDXA table. Coy presented 
a superb forum
for the ARRL. Maybe the company Current Technologies has figured out how 
to implement BPL
and notch out our frequencies. DFW is about to get a sample of BPL via TXU 
power utility. We'll
see. 

73 all, Ross K5RH

Now that the full-blown operation from VU4 has taken place, I wonder how 
my 
fellow OKDX'ers fared.  Specifically, I'd like to know if K8FU, W5JMW and 
NE0P 
were able to log a VU4.  If so, I can mark that off the Needed Countries 
Excel 
spreadsheet for you guys.  I'd also like to know if you logged a VU4 Ross, 

K5RH?  If I'm not mistaken, that is the only country you need to "have 'em 
all"
I sure hope you made it.  I know the pileups were quite large and signals 
were quite marginal, but hopefully you made it.
Gene
