An excellent presentation by Master Warrant Officer Nathaniel Senff VA7SNF was viewed by a dozen radio amateurs on Thursday evening. The slide show is approximately 15-20 minutes followed by a very active Q&A.
Here’s the link to the presentation. Click here. The Passcode is Z=UaFKk2

Vladimir OK2WX starts his latest DXpedition to Socotra Island, Yemen on January 25. An announcement is up on DXNews.com. This amateur is very experienced but this site which is approximately 500 kilometers from the Yemenese shoreline seems a little foolhardy. With USAF FA-18s and Houthi missiles flying overhead, his Elecraft and ICOM rigs will be buzzing. But that’s only my humble opinion.
Perhaps it’s the whiskey; perhaps it’s the gin.
Check out his call sign on QRZ.
By the way, should you make a contact with him (he’s will be on the 160 meter contest this weekend), drop me a line via the Contact US tab and I’ll highlight your contact here.
