operating illegally with his callsign on 18 MHz SSB. He uses the name  George

PRATAS ISLAND  1998  (KYFC) --->  During  the New  Orleans  International  DX
Convention Randy, WX5L was told by Paul, BV4FH (a member of the last trip  to
Pratas Island, BV9P) that "they are  very close to getting  the OK to  return
between 30 and  60 days from  now".  A  10-operator team  might operate  from
Pratas as soon  as October. Paul  now needs input  from the  DX community  to
accompany his final push in a few weeks. He is requesting e-mail's to be sent
with a short message indicating your desire  and needs (i.e. for an all  time
new one, for 5BDXCC etc) for Pratas Island to be activated. Paul will make  a
hardcopy of  every  message received  and  submit it  as  a package  to  show
evidence of  the  need and  desires  of the  DX  community to  the  governing
authority. Paul's e-mail address is bv4fh@ms2.hinet.net [TNX WX5L]
