Thank's for posting this, Nate. I took the plunge and became a backer ( well aware of the risks ). Hopefully around September I will be able to give a report...

Opportunity for HP3 (Panama) Operation
Don Jackson
As many of you know, my wife (Carol W5CSJ, SK) and I took a trip to Panama in October 2011 with intention to operate as HP3/AE5K for a month there. I gambled and lost -- my wife got alarmingly worse on the trip with her Alzheimer's, forcing a decision to cut the trip short without being able to operate with ham radio there.
I may be crazy, but I've been thinking of now trying to make the trip again, maybe about 3 weeks this fall. I have a good background on the country (and in fact know more about Panama than many natives) and the experience of knowing the ropes and my way around. I would want to take a traveling companion with me who would share expenses and be able to operate, time sharing equipment. So, if you are interested, please email me OFF-LIST, directly to: panama@hp3.ae5k.us I will NOT respond to emails sent to the reflector! Use ONLY the email address shown above. I will in turn, upon receipt of your email, give you the URL and password to a website which explains a lot of my plans and thinking along with some photos and a lot of info on Panama. PLEASE, only respond if you are seriously interested in this opportunity, and send me email (just a note "I'm interested" is OK) ONLY to panama@hp3.ae5k.us -- sending email to the correct address is the first qualifier ;-) 73, Don AE5K P.S. - yes, plan to operate both QRP and QRO (100 watt class) depending on conditions, modes, etc. And yes, I would expect to make skeds with 4sqrp and kcssr members.

Re: W0ERE 30 Meter Beacon
I heard his 30 meter beacon on the air the other afternoon and his
running a beacon there , was quite a surprise , but what was an even
bigger surprise is that it sends� /B identifying it as a beacon .

I "don't think" it is legal , but that is just my own personal opinion of 48 years as a ham . IF it is "legal" , it is certainly a VERY gray area of the rules and there certainly should at least be an official opinion offered . Don't get me wrong , personally he is not doing anything that MANY other stations are doing on ALL of the ham bands below 10 meters . On EVERY band people operate MEPT's . They claim that they are Manned Experimental Propagation Transmitters . Many operate 24/7 . One day we will find out . Charlie , W5COV
