Chad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chad (Arabic: تشاد‎ Tšād; French: Tchad ⁱ/ˈtʃæd/), officially the Republic of Chad, is alandlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, theCentral African Republic to the south, Cameroon and Nigeria to the southwest, and Niger to the west.

Chad is divided into multiple regions: a desert zone in the north, an arid Sahelian belt in the centre and a more fertile Sudanese savanna zone in the south. Lake Chad, after which the country is named, is the largest wetland in Chad and the second largest in Africa. Chad's highest peak is the Emi Koussi in the Sahara, and N'Djamena, (formerly Fort-Lamy), the capital, is the largest city. Chad is home to over 200 different ethnic and linguistic groups.Arabic and French are the official languages. Islam and Christianity are the most widely practiced religions.

Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through the region. France conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part ofFrench Equatorial Africa. In 1960, Chad obtained independence under the leadership ofFrançois Tombalbaye. Resentment towards his policies in the Muslim north culminated in the eruption of a long-lasting civil war in 1965. In 1979, the rebels conquered the capital and put an end to the south's hegemony. However, the rebel commanders fought amongst themselves untilHissène Habré defeated his rivals. He was overthrown in 1990 by his general Idriss Déby. Since 2003, the Darfur crisis in Sudan has spilt over the border and destabilised the nation, with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees living in and around camps in eastern Chad.

Chad remains plagued by political violence and recurrent attempted coups d'état (see Battle of N'Djamena (2006) and Battle of N'Djamena (2008)). Chad is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world; most inhabitants live in poverty as subsistence herders and farmers. Since 2003, crude oil has become the country's primary source of export earnings, superseding the traditional cotton industry. Chad is considered a failed state by the Fund for Peace.

Saudi Arabia (ⁱ/ˌsaʊdi əˈreɪbi.ə/ or ⁱ/ˌsɔːdiː əˈreɪbi.ə/; Arabic: السعودية‎ as-Su‘ūdiyyah or as-Sa‘ūdiyyah), officially known as theKingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: المملكة العربية السعودية‎ al-Mamlakah al-‘Arabiyyah as-Su‘ūdiyyah  Arabic pronunciation (help·info)), is the largest Arab state in Western Asia by land area, constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula, and the second-largest in the Arab world (after Algeria). It is bordered by Jordan and Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait,Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south. The Red Sea lies to its west, and the Persian Gulf lies to the east. Saudi Arabia has an area of approximately 2,250,000 km² (870,000 sq mi), and it has an estimated population of 27 million, of which 9 million are registered foreign expatriates and an estimated 2 million are illegal immigrants. Saudi nationals comprise an estimated 16 million people.^[7]

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud (known for most of his career as Ibn Saud) in 1932, although the conquests which eventually led to the creation of the Kingdom began in 1902 when he captured Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the House of Saud, referred to in Arabic as Al Saud. The Saudi Arabian government, which has been an absolute monarchy since its inception, refers to its system of government as Islamic. The kingdom is sometimes called "The Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca), and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam.

Saudi Arabia has the world's second largest oil reserves which are concentrated largely in the Eastern Province^[8][9] and oil accounts for more than 95% of exports and 70% of government revenue. This facilitates the creation of a welfare state^[10]although the share of the non-oil economy is growing recently. It has also the world's sixth largest natural gas reserves.

Hello from the "Footprint to Freedom"!

I am the Radio Electronics Officer (REO) for the USNS Sgt William R Button, which is a pre-positioning ship stationed at Diego Garcia, or "DGar" as we sometimes call it.

My current tour will keep me QRV as VQ9JC from December 2008 to April 2009; after that, I expect to return to DGar in August 2009 for another four-month tour.

About 85% of my operating is on CW, with SSB at about 12% and the rest on digital modes. When you call on CW, pse give your call only one time; if I miss part of your call, I will ask for a repeat. Too many stations give their calls two and three times which only adds to the QRM.

I am QRV on the LEO satellites (AO-51, SO-50, and AO-27), but the footprints of these satellites are small enough that I cannot reach the African or Asian mainland from VQ9 very well.

My special prefix operations have included VQ97JC (23 May through 05 June 2007) and VQ98JC (18-31 December 2008). I'm hoping to operate as VQ99JC in for two or three weeks in August or September 2009.

Buro or direct is fine for all callsigns.

Pse note that all mail (direct and buro) goes to my home QTH in Florida, and it is later forwarded to me through the U.S. Navy FPO mail system. The FPO system works very well, but there will be delays in getting the mail to me, so pse be patient.

Direct mail requests will be answered the same way if sufficient reply postage is included. QSLs sent by direct mail with no postage or with invalid or expired IRCs will be answered only via the buro. Pse remember that the postage rate in the US is going up again in May 2009.

If you have a question about a QSL that you think should have been received, send me an e-mail. All of my logs are electronic, and I can review them at any time.

73, Jim, VQ9JC / KG4JC / ND9M

Hello !

J'ai obtenu ma licence de radio amateur au début de février 1960. J'étais alors étudiant en électronique, et j'ai gradué en mai 1960.

J'ai commencé à faire du DX avec un transmetteur DX-40 de Heathkit, en 1962 et après mon travail comme technicien en instrumentation,

pour une Compagnie Minière QCM j'écoutais sur tous les bandes, le soir, pour trouver des nouveaux pays lointains.

C'est alors que j'ai fait une liste de pays qui se confirmaient au fil des ans. et aujourd'hui j'en ai 302, sans internet c'est encore plus difficile.

Amateur radio since 1960, I'm again in operation in Magog, Qué., since september 2005. MAGOG is a village about 25,000 peoples on the side of the lake Memphrémagog. Most of tourism and paradise for skiing on Mount Orford.

I'm glad to QSL via bureau or direct if you asked for. QRZ very evening on 30M 40M & 20M CW for DX and again be on all bands.All the operations VE2ACP-Portable are Zone 2. QSL for operation on Oct.13 2007.via bureau or direct. All cards received from that expedition are sent out by today.

Working now to get my 5B-DXCC, to improve marks on 80 meters SSB & CW listen at night 3505 on sunset and 0300Z-0400Z Special QSL sended for operation on 2 different bands.

I'm looking on 6M any openings.every day. Just those want FN35. I Shortly have a 5el yagi at 55ft high. In Florida I will tryed to increase my DX quote if propagation is there.My grid square in Florida is: EL96

I operate now from south part of Florida, in Davie area. During the followings days, I mount my R-7000 Vertical in the back yard, and be able to operate on HF then.  This year, I operate with a 3 el  15M , I will tryed to operate on 50 MHZ with  double bazooka. Now I'm on VHF& UHF with a Comet vertical antenna. Now I'm ready to mount side of the house. The base would be above the roof.

Some times, operate on CQnet, I talked with good persons all over the world, on 80M with Australia. sometimes surprising.Iran amateur radio operators on 20M vy good persons you sure they are true amateur radio operator.

Best of 73 to all and have good DX.
