Pictures for the year 1999.
|
 |
This is Soyhan, TA2IJ, and his lovely friend Esin. No wonder we
hear him on the air so seldom lately. |
 |
Bert, PA1KW - look at the amp and know that's the right suffix. |
 |
Arie, 4X6UO - "Listen, take my advice" |
 |
Here's my friend Bob, G0DOB, pretending he has a better shack than
reality. Your friend's callsign gives it away, Bob. |
 |
The virus hit some of us really hard. |
 |
Ahmed, CN8GI and his beautiful family in historic costumes |
 |
Denver, 4S7DA |
 |
Greiss, SU1GS - "making another dx'er happy from zone 34" |
 |
Ernest, 4S7EA, and Chandra - "just waiting for the kettle." |
 |
Rob, 5Z4RL and his lovely family. "salaams to East Africa" |
 |
Pete, G0WUA - "Wierd Uncle Al." |
 |
from zone 19 here is UA0JV and wife, Val, RA0JCZ |
 |
Tola, 5N9KWO - "Hola, Tola, que pasa?" |
 |
Kevin, EI7IM - My favorite Leprechaun. |
 |
You can meet this lovely couple, Bert PA1KW, and his wife Sonja, by
just flying into the Amsterdam airport. |
 |
Rob, 5Z4RL - defying "Walt's Law" that no one jumps from perfectly good aircraft. |
 |
Graham, G4YRU with My "Maid Marion" Sandy, M5AAS. |
 |
here's the first "lady in waiting," Jean M0CLL and her OM Paul M0BNT |
 |
just another gorgeous smile from Jean, M0CLL with her daughter Emma - which one is Mom? |
 |
M0BYA - sending more pictures won't get me to change this one, Bob! |
|
Pictures for the year 2000.
|
 |
Selim, TA2DS - the little astronaut was "down to earth" for this one. |
 |
This is Mick, M0ARX, who always has a nice mobile signal. Is there
something magic about being in Greenwich? |
 |
My friend, Salah, 9K2SH, and his son Jarrah. He wanted his
picture up beside his friend Soyhan, but I have to put him with this
year's postings. |
 |
This picture, taken at Freidrichshafen, shows Ahmad, 9K2AI,
Hamid, 9K2HS, and Selim, TA2DS |
 |
This is another of the good, young operators active from the
middle east, Osama, 9K2OD. You can find him on the bands just about
every day. |
 |
The first OD5 QSO for most new dx-ers comes from one of these two
operators. Show here are Puzant, OD5NH, and Gaby, OD5NJ, during the
OD5RAL IOTA operation in September, 1999. |
 |
This is Mario, 9H1QB, in a photo taken a few (many, many) years ago. |
 |
And, this is Mario, 9H1QB, hoping the car will take your
attention AWAY from him. |
 |
This is the picture that Mario DID NOT want you to see. Like all
of us older folk, Mario is catching a quick nap between QSO's at 9H4B.
We could hear you snoring, Mario! |
 |
This, too, is Natasha, UA3XHG, just waiting for a chance to use
the radio. Serge is always on the radio, but we'd rather talk to
Natasha! |
 |
Natasha, UA3XHG, who makes a wonderful reason to travel to
Russia. I love this picture of a really darling girl. |
 |
Serge, UA3XDS, and Tasha, UA3XHG. She's the only reason that you
get to see this picture of Serge. |
 |
Everyone knows that all brides are beautiful, but here is one of
the most beautiful brides of this Century, Maha, CN8YG, with her new
husband Rabii on their wedding day, April 15, 2000. My wife and I and
all of our amateur friends join in wishing them health, happiness,
prosperity, and joy in their new life together. |
 |
Alex, DL4EEC, is certainly a daring soul. He sent this picture,
not realizing that all of us "old" guys would make fun of his youth.
My goodness, I don't remember ever being this young! |
 |
In the battle of big signals, I told Mohamed that although I love
him like a brother, my money is on this guy, Abdullah, 9K2GS...BIG
SIGNAL!!! |
 |
Abubaker, 5A1A, a kind and gentle soul, making so many happy with
a new one on both SSB and CW. |
 |
Hey, Guys! At last, here's a picture of 'DWQ that you can REALLY
enjoy. This is my friend Maria - SV2DWQ from Thessaloniki. Be sure
to give her a call when you hear her on the bands. |
 |
This is Jemal, 9K2ZM, also known as A45ZM, OD5DX, SU1JR, DL2BBD,
and, most important of all, 9K2ZM/W5. Let me know as soon as the new
house is done down in Texas, Jemal, and we'll be happy to "house sit"
for you. |
 |
Here is Maria, SV2DWQ, testing the theory that 'blondes have more
fun.' I don't know about that, but she is a beautiful lady even if her
hair were purple. |
 |
Here's Nick, SV2DWZ. By the call, you might guess that Nick is
married to Maria, and he won't tell if blondes have more fun,
either! |
 |
Here is Amir, 4X6TT, at the mobile rig. Always a wonderful
signal - at least in Maine - from home or the mobile. Amir, send me
your cards and I'll send you mine! |
 |
Don, HS0ZBG, and the woman who was the answer to his prayers, his
wife Gail |
 |
Shown here, front row left, is Tex, VK1TX, surrounded by the
reason he no longer has a reputation. Hanging out with this crowd would
blacken anyone's image. |
 |
This beautiful gal is Rocsana, YO8SWW, my very good, dx friend,
letting us know why it is sometimes difficult to catch her on the
band. |
 |
In a bit of wishful thinking, Owen, SM3CWE, claims that this
looks like ME!!! Only in your dreams, Owen, I'm the distinguished
looking one |
 |
Here's Marco, CU3DJ, with Caralonia and Raquel (my favorite
teacher in the Azores), and that's NO BULL - even though Marco always
slings the bull. |
 |
Tex, VK1TX, was so embarassed to be part of this Unholy Trio,
that he made sure that his hat cast a long shadow - something he can't
do! - and Doc, AF4MI and Carlton (our favorite doorman), KU4UC, look
on. |
 |
Here's Johnny, ZD8KW, better known as ZD7WRG. I won't talk about
how he got his nickname...in fact, I won't even mention it. |
 |
This is my 'special' dx friend Rocsi, down by the seaside in a nicer
season. No snow here, and, no, guys, she isn't available for dates! |
 |
This is Jack, M5PRO. I find him on 20 meters many mornings
before I head off to school. Jack, of course, is a student and just
15. If any of my friends hear him on the air, I hope you'll give him
a call....and send him a card, too! |
 |
If one Sandy is good, than two Sandys must be Great. Here it is,
Sandy to the second power...otherwise known as G0WLY. Great to see
you Sandy, and be not afraid! |
