(Araucaria) Cocos Keeling Islands - VK9C ( Zone 29 ) !

Segunda Novembro 15 11:14:56 BRST 2010

Bom dia Ed.

Trabalhei em fevereiro deste ano, pela primeira vez, Cocos (Keeling) Island,
em 40 Metros/CW (eis aí minha Zona 29!). 

Foi um all time new one, e justamente o grupo do Phil, que lá esteve com o
Indicativo VK9C/G6AY.

Repare que eles só fazem CW. Mais um motivo para aqueles que estão em dúvida
se devem ou não aprender CW, esta maravilhosa forma de comunicação.

Esta semana mandarei minha colaboração para você repassar ao grupo. 

Forte 73 de PP1CZ - Léo.

Prezados Amigos !

Foi com grande alegria que recebí na sexta-feira , do amigo Phil - G3SWH (
nos conhecemos a mais de 20 anos ) , e que é um dos maiores Expedition-Man
de nosso hobby , a informação de sua próxima Expedição ( ver e-mail abaixo
).

Estou disponibilizando nas listas , essa informação para os interessados.

Aproveitem e visitem o site http://www.g3swh.org.uk/vk9c-g6ay.html e assim
fiquem por dentro dessa " raríssima " Expedition que irá acontecer no
próximo ano a Cocos Keeling Islands - VK9C ( Zone 29 ) , no mês de fevereiro
e que o CWJF GROUP está apoiando , sendo até o momento , o único Grupo da
América do Sul que está colaborando para o sucesso da expedição , somando-se
a outros importantes e famosos Grupos Internacionais , a saber :

Será uma " chance de ouro "  para os brasileiros trabalharem a tão difícil e
cobiçada " ZONA 29 ".

little helps!  Please do not send cheques in any currency other than
Sterling or bank notes in other than Sterling or US $.  If necessary, I can
provide you with bank account or Paypal details to facilitate electronic

or via the bureau.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

73 for now
