ANOTHER BOUVET ISLAND TRY IN THE FALL?

NEIL/ANCHOR: There's encouraging news from the Three Y Zero Eye 3Y0I
Bouvet Island DXpedition Team, which postponed its attempt to activate
the island earlier this year. A posting on the website for the Rebel
Dx Group, notes that they expect the postponement to be brief. As they
rest up, they've already got their licence renewed, and their equipment
remains in Cape Town South Africa in storage. Their plan? They hope to
be Bouvet-bound when it's fall in the Northern Hemisphere.

KICKER: BILLBOARD'S A SUPERSIZED QSL CARD TO MOTORISTS

NEIL/ANCHOR: For our final story, we head in our cars to Tennessee, to do
a little amateur radio sightseeing, with Kevin Trotman, N5PRE.

KEVIN: Take a drive along Interstate 40 in the state of Tennessee. What's
visible on the side of the road, there may well be the world's largest QSL
card. It's a colorful sight that the ARRL says handles more traffic than
even the most popular net on the air: Each year, an estimated 6 million
vehicles drive by that location near mile marker 336, according to ARRL
Life member Cliff Segar, KD4GT. Cliff should know: he's the owner of the
ten-by-20 billboard, The bright blue sign carries its message in yellow
and white lettering. The words "skill" "service" and "discovery" appear
below two even larger words: "Radio Communications."

You don't need to know CW to decode the message that radio is still
powerful, relevant, and roadworthy.

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Kevin Trotman, N5PRE.
