The change was finally made today. I have also corrected a few posts that weren’t ok. Now we need to update a few pages here and there. A header will also be made. Hope you like it.

We are now in progress of transforming this site over to WordPress.

Just received the sad news of Jim Smith’s passing:

It is with deep sadness that I inform you that Jim (VK9NS) passed peacefully away on Norfolk Island at 15:40 local time on 10 February 2009 after a short illness.

Jim is survived by his wife Kirsti (VK9NL) and his four children: Bruce (G3HSR), Stuart, Sheena and Fraser (all living in the UK).

Jim’s contribution to Amateur Radio, DX-ing and IOTA is inestimable. He will be sadly missed.

Further information and condolences can be sent to Kirsti at jimkirsti(at)ni.net.nf

Bruce (G3HSR)

Comments:

The best low band condx ever and the worst ever high band condx at the same
time. What are the odds?

Congrats to LN9Z(Jan LA9HW, op) for a fantastic SB160 score and thanks to Team
LN3Z for yet again inviting Murphy to their place for the WW CW weekend. Giving
us time to contest in peace  

Memorable moments: 

Called by KH7C Hawaii on 160m.
CE0Y/SM6CUK whispered in on 20m for a double.
Called by HS0ZDY on 80m for a double mult when only 9 minutes left of the
contest.
Plus many more that not comes to mind...

We had lots of fun but enough is enough - give us flux, now!

Thanks for all the QSO's.

Bjorn LB1GB & al.
