Hi all,
Dr. N'Yeurt is spot on, there is so very little use of Amateur Radio in the
South Pacific where it is needed most in a part of the world in times of
natural disasters, cyclones being at the top of the list. I can verify this,
during the peak of the last sunspot cycle I was chasing rare DX from K2PG and
logged no Pacific Islanders, not a single one. That's not to blame it on
propagation considering those in the log. The big question everywhere is how
can we get them interested in a dinosaur with all of today's digital toys at
their fingertips? I was one of those when I was first licensed, but one of
those rare birds interested in radio from childhood and when I got the
opportunity to put signals in the air I jumped on it. But what about the
others with no interest? Oh well.
