> Hello Cliff,
> Hope you and the group are doing well, I miss you guys but I dont know if you miss me!:-( Maybe glad to get rid of me! :'(

> I am in Florida and just put up a wire loop here, and working all kinds of DX, my 1st 5 DX contacts on 20m were all 59s....so it is working... but I do have a DX group down here called SFDXA to meet up with, a great group of hams! 
> I received this membership email today from our president Pete N8PR. I wonder if you can send it out to our members up there in the CDXA? I think this is good cause in memory of his mom (maybe now a silent key). I was not on the air back then, but I know many of our Old Timers in CDXA were on the air, and their logs would show who the hams were in this area's prefix. Maybe Roger has a old world call book in his basement?

> OK, Cliff take care, please say hello to my buddies, up there in the club who know me....

> Good afternoon Mr. Rimmel,

> My name is Mike Paulson and I acquired your email from the SFDXA website.  I was hoping you would be willing to include the attached letter to you next newsletter or email it to your members.  The letter explains how I am researching KZ5 Ham Operators.  Please take a moment and look at it and let me know if you are willing to help me out.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

> My name is Mike Paulson and my mom is/was KZ5MP in Gatun, Canal Zone, 1968-1979.  She was also KA4CZC in Tallahassee 1979-1996.  When vanity calls came out, she was able to get her KZ5MP call back and held that un,l 2006.   
> 
> I am working on a project to document and identify all the Canal Zone Ham Operators through the use of their QSL Cards or through the Radio Amateur CallBook Magazine (The Flying Horse), and I need your help.  I know this sounds like an impossible task but I really do believe it can be done.  On average from 1960 to 1979 there were only about 150-200 operators. 
> 
> My effort may not be quite so daunting, if I can get your help.  
> 
> I am asking you to look through your QSL Cards and scan the front and back of your K5, NY1, NY2, (pre war) and your KZ5 cards and email the scans to me or post them to the FaceBook group I have for the project.   
> h at ps://www.facebook.com/groups/532860190101682/   “Canal Zone Ham Operators”.   
> You should really visit the site if you can.  You can also mail me the cards if you choose to at the address below. 
> 
> Ul,mately, aFer I have been able to gather as much info as possible, I plan on turning it over to a museum or library of Canal Zone history or ham radio history.  I do this to honor my mom, and all the other Canal Zone Hams. 
> 
> If you have any other documents from the old KZ5 days I would appreciate you adding them as well.  These could include licenses, certificates, shack photos, any info on the clubs that were there.  Really anything that has KZ5 on it. 
> 
> Please pass this on to other hams, I also need help in geHng my word out.   Thank you so much. If you have any ques,ons or sugges,on, please let me know either by email or the Facebook page.
