Phil,F5PHW, who holds the callsign FO8RZ now has put up his groundplane
HF6V and is now active in CW on 80m-10m. Unfortunately the conditions

stations on 30m, 20m and 15m. He wants to erect also a 3ele yagi for 6m
and a dipole for 40m/80m until the end of August. This operation has
been approved for DXCC credit already but the QSLs are not printed yet.

Growing amateur radio community in China:
-----------------------------------------
The Chinese amateur radio sports association CRSA recognizes a growing
number of radio amateurs in China with 90.000 licensees now. This is
very remarkable bearing in mind that the number of cellular phones and
internet accesses is growing much more in these times. This is reported
by the British news portal of the Southgate Amateur Radio Club.
