I didn't crop this picture at all, because Pai, VU2PAI, and his bride wanted to share this special memory with everyone. This is taken on the observation deck of the WTC during a visit to the US
Thumb
This is "happy daddy" Pai, VU2PAI, with his brand new baby girl. Nothing more to be said
Thumb
From high atop the world, The Kingdom of Nepal, and high atop the roof there, are these active amateurs tweaking a beam for WARC bands. They are, l to r, 9N1AA, 9N7ZK, and 9N7RB
Thumb
Bill, 9N7ZK, has handed out many a new one from places around the globe. Check QRZ.COM for that info, I only wanted to bring him to you up close and personal.
Thumb
Quite a signal comes from his home-brew transceiver, and the cards DO come! This is Mohsen, EP3SMH, from Teheran.
Thumb
This is Soyhan, TA2IJ, with his mom and grandmom. I'm just putting them here again because they are beautiful women!
Thumb
Hisham without the cool hat. I think I like the hat better than the headsets, but this is what Hisham, HZ1LP, looks like when playing on the ra-di-ooo. Try to get a picture without the bright light behind you, folks.
Thumb
Johnny, ZD8KW, knows that the best way to get extra pictures on my page is to send one that includes a beautiful woman. So, here's carol!
Thumb
Deon, ZS5DCF, used to be on every day, but I don't hear much from him now. I hope it wasn't something that I said! yeah, right.
Thumb
Daniel, YO3GJC, thinks that his Romanian BBQ is spicy. It's obvious that he's never had my "road kill chili," or Roger D's (G3XFA) Indian curry.
Thumb
WARNING: do NOT enlarge this picture if there are small children or pregnant woman in the house, or within a two block radius. This is the dread hairy backed Michael, ZS1E. I have saved most of you by NOT showing him naked to the waist (that's his N9IFV photo)
Thumb
I found John, on4un, just wandering the aisles at Ham Com 2002. It was the same as on 80 meters, John couldn't find anything that he needed.
Thumb
Our first QSO was back in August of 1969, when I happened to be in the country for a short time. then, I never dreamed that I'd have the chance to meet Tom, VP6TC
Thumb
Not only did I get to meet Tom, but also his lovely daughter Sheri Christian. Sorry guys (and Lenny), she doesn't have a call.
Thumb
I'm always a bit amazed when I think of what efforts it takes to keep Hanina, 4X4MU, on the air.
Thumb
Here's another picture of Hanina, 4X4MU, along with our young friend On, 4Z4KQ.
Thumb
This is a "strange" pair. Here's Gary, VK1SJ (he looks vaguely familiar) with Chris, VK5CC.
Thumb
It's always a pleasure to chat with my friend, Sameer, A41MO. He and I have a pipeline between us.
Thumb
You've heard the BIG signal nd the booming voice from the Mid-east. They come from this YOUNG fellow, Mohamed, A71MA. Notice his two wheel toy just outside the window
Thumb
I think these guys were trying to get a QSL card FROM Steve, but I'm not sure which card. Everyone is easily identifiable.
Thumb
One of my cherished friends from Kuwait, Ali, 9K2SS. Of course, I am constantly having to admonish him for allowing the twins to stay up so late - into the wee hours of the morning, but I do enjoy hearing their laughter
Thumb
He's been to Houston, so Ahmed, 9K2QA, thinks that he's seen Texas. Poor, misguided lad that he is, I'm trying to convince him to attend HamCom 2003.
Thumb
I asked for a picture of Chris, G0WOT, kissing his radio good-bye, since his wife just received her foundation call sign, but he sent this pinstripe picture instead.
Thumb
She caused him to kiss the radio good-bye. Here's Susan, M3EYL, the significant spousal unit to Chris, G0WOT.
Thumb
You've seen his antenna (on the antenna pics page), now here's the operator, Peter, G0WXJ. Who would have believed that he's so young? He must still use training wheels to walk !
Thumb
Hamed, 9K2HS, didn't realize what kind of company he would be in when he sent this photo for presentation here. He thought that I'd surround him with beautiful women!

This could be your picture. If you have sent one that you wanted placed here, I must have lost it. send again, priority given to beautiful women.
