# QZX Friends

- YV5ABE — Rolando is a new ham with 720A a T/S 1000. He has an ICOM and a 40 m dipole.
- W4SYF –Al is 75 and operates a solar station which includes a TS 1000. He sent us a nice beam pointing program.
- K4UBR — Jerry has both a ZX81 and a T/S 1000. He used to get QZX when K2MI was publishing it. He says he has a RTTY program which we hope to get him to share with the rest of you.
- [KP4MD](http://localhost/indiv/carol-f-milazzo/) — Charles is a navy physician in Puerto Rico. He has been a ham for 13 years and has written a number of programs for his ZX81, which we hope to share with you
- HP1AC — Cam has just installed a Suntronics Keyboard which is working fine. He also had a suggestion for saving postage on overseas mailing which we will look into.
- K6SWN — Darwin started out with a 2k Micro-Ace and now has a 64K ZX81. He says that “The Best of Sync ” by Creative Computing translates some of the early ZX80 programs to make them useful on the 2X81.
- [K2MI](http://localhost/indiv/martin-irons-k2mi/) — Marty says he has kept very busy after giving up QZX. He sent along some basic utility programs. He also said he had heard that [NU4V](http://localhost/company/cliff-nunnery-nu4v/) (of CW program fame) is about to release a good RTTY send- receive program.
- W6AMW — Bob says he has purhased a Bug Byte modem for accessing Compuserve. He also sent in a net correction and an ad (see unclassifieds). 0E2ZDL — Jon (also [K1US](http://localhost/indiv/jon-harder/)) says that QZX is his main source of information because he cannot hear the nets in Europe. However some European nets have been added to the directory.
- W6JEO — Carl asked for sample QZX issue some time ago, but it took the good review in 73 Magazine to get him to finally subscribe.
