HS72B ---> The HS72B CQWW & Special DX Operation [425DXN 706] team has already received very generous donations, but still needs help to complete this project and bring the RAST club station on line with permanent full performance stations. Some ten days ago Ray Gerrard, G3NOM/HS0ZDZ (RAST international Vice President and station manager for HS0AC and HS72B) suffered a severe heart attack. He is still hospitalized, and unfortunately his conditions are far from being encouraging, but the project goes on: "we need you best wishes & prayers for Ray and your economic support for the club station he spent so much time building for RAST", Robin, WA6CDR says. "Please send any funds you can to WA6CDR for NA, or DL3DXX for EU, or to HS0AC (RAST) for AS, QRZ addresses good. We will personally acknowledge each donation when we return in mid December". Anyone who would like to send their wishes for Ray's recovery may send a message to dx@thai.com [TNX WA6CDR] NOT THE MANAGER ---> Francisco, EA7FTR reports that "a station in the CQWW DX SSB Contest, LQ5H, stated to QSL via EA7FTR.
