   3DA, SWAZILAND (Update/More!). Frosty, K5LBU, reports that he has   
   received   
   word they have been issued their callsigns in Swaziland for July 8-18th.   
   Callsigns are as follows: Wayne/W5KDJ will be 3DA0KDJ, Frosty/K5LBU will   
   still be 3DA0CF and Daniel/ZS6JR will be 3DA0JR. They will be on all the   
   bands that are open from 160-6 meters. They will also try to do RTTY and   
   PSK. Frosty states, "Will have a A4S with 40 meter kit at about 50 feet a   
   2 element 12-17 meter beam above that along with a very good vertical for   
   160-80-40 meters along with some beverages for receiving. Will have a 6   
   element m2 6 meter beam up at 50 feet also."  He is still hoping that   
   there will be at least 2 other operators to join them so they can do a   
   better job covering the bands. They will be on for the IARU Contest which   
   is July 9-10th and is still hoping to get 3DA5HQ for the contest. There   
   is still time to join the group. Contact Frosty at:  frosty1@pdq.net
