CLOCK-TIME) when possible.
If you would like a sked at a particular time

LATEST (4th December 2005) INFORMATION - the ipsissima verba from Nick:-
"Many thanks for contacts - 31 RSARS QSOs (among a total of about 2700). Cards will be with the bureau this week. Especially pleased to work both G3EKL and G3XSN who were regular contacts when I was 5Z4LS in 1968-70. The fishing pole vertical for 7 and 10 worked very well (see forthcoming "MERCURY") and greatly entertained the hotel staff"

V25OHX - Antigua
31st December 2005 up to 13th January 2006
Sam (G4OHX) informs us:
I am hoping to be QRV on 17, 20 and 30m. I have not yet been given a call but it will possibly be V25OHX. I will NOT acknowledge any member calling me by that call - CQ RSARS is OK but please NOT by that call. I should be up and running on 31 Dec and we fly home on 13 Jan. As always the holiday comes first with radio a close second. I will try and keep the members informed one way or t'other!
