Re. The Fiji
Rotahomes
project and the
radio operation
by Franz DK1II
and his
colleagues :-
We have the
following from
Henk VK2GWK :-
Dear Bill,
Thanks for the
weekly report.
Just to let you
know:
I worked
Franz DK1II –
3D2II
on Fiji
with a very nice
signal. He told
me all about his
work there
building
Rotahomes.
We started on CW
(on 17M) but
then QSY-ed
to phone as that
was a little
easier to chat
away.
We hope to hear
him on the ROAR
net on Sunday.
Cheers Henk –
VK2GWK
