4U1UN NEWS (Update). On FaceBook, the United Nations Amateur Radio Club
(4U1UN) reports the following on November 20th:
Couple of announcements:
1. Beacon is back although the antenna is literally being held together
with tape and chewing gum at this point. Not sure how much longer
it'll survive.
2. We've managed to figure out the kinks with the rack mounted system.
Additionally, Elecraft fixed and returned our malfunctioning K3. We
ran a few quick tests today and seems everything is finally functioning
as it should. That said, you should start to hear 4U1UN back on the
air very soon. Some may have had the good fortune of working Adrian
today while he ran some tests.

XZ, MYANMAR (Press Release, dated November 20th). Wayne, N7NG, sent out
the following Press Release titled "A FRESH AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE XZ2D
ISSUED TODAY" -- Yangon, Myanmar, November 20, 2019, From Martti Laine,
OH2BH -- Contrary to yesterday's release (see Additional Bulletin at the
bottom), the XZ8X callsign did not surface, but XZ2D indeed did! The ink
is still wet, but it will stick to the form. As of today - as expected -
the permitted spectrum will be 15m and higher. But gladly your supporting
letters keep coming in, and we will proceed accordingly. There is a will-
ingness in place at the Ministry, and that is what counts. Getting 14.065
KHz temporarily for the duration of 48 hours would be magic. Thank you for
your letters – we need them all. Your supporting letters will be handled
in full confidence and will not be made public without your personal
consent.
We would like to thank the Worldview International Foundation (WIF),
their management and staff as they have put all of themselves into this
effort. As Radio Arcala, OH8X remains at their Climate Park with more
than 110,000 mangroves planted, our dream remains to activate The Union
of Myanmar from our own site from the noise free Ayeyarwady Region of
Myanmar. The activity would be on all bands during the XZ2D validity up
to April.17. 2020.
Kindly look at the WIF effort on the link below and join their climate
bandwagon to make the difference -- we are committed to have amateur radio
doing more than its fair share in it. https://wif.foundation/en/
We are now setting up the station and should be QRV tomorrow – a long
way from the city noise.
See you 15M and 10M as of today’s permit and hopefully 14.065 KHz with
support from all of you.
(*) Mango DX Group was established in Thailand among the International
Alliance Volunteers (IAV) conference local and international participants.
They aim to promote Amateur Radio to make it a vital part of the evolving
countries/societies in South East Asia (SEA). Their many current activities
are paving the way for Amateur Radio’s future in the countries out of the
regular beaten tracks.
