They can be reached via e-mail for any questions and/or comments related to H40AA: eupilot@dial.pipex.com (Martin, G3ZAY); k6gnx@telemetry.com (Bill, K6GNX); gdixon@infoave.net (Gary, K4MQG). <TNX N4GN> H40AA TX FREQUENCIES ---> Look for H40AA on the following frequencies: 1.824.5, 3.504, 7.004, 10.104, 14.024, 18.074, 21.024, 24.894, 28.024 and 50.104 MHz CW; 1.824.5, 3.775, 7.045, 14.195, 18.135, 21.295, 24.945, 28.395 and 50.104 MHz SSB; 14.083 and 21.083 MHz RTTY. <TNX N4GN> QSL A45XL ---> Bob, G4LVQ reports that Chris, the operator of A45XL, apologises for the delays in sending QSL cards due to unforseen personal difficulties.
