[OKDXA] The 3Y5X Story

[Jeff Martin]

For the older QST's you have to select the Archives box... and you have 
to be logged in to the website. I had a little trouble getting it to 
recognize I was logged in, but when I did get logged in I was able to 
bring up the older Archives, including October 1990...

>   You can get Oct 1990 QST from the ARRL website, QST Archives. Note the similarities and differences experienced by the 3Y5X group and the 3Y0J group... Some notable differences: Total number of QSOs, % of QSOs with NA, Cost - $330K vs $715K. Location - 3Y5X camped on the NW coast of the island at Nyroysa, 3Y0J camped at Cape Fie on the SE coast. 3Y5X group had a helicopter...
