Slide Show
Slide 1: Palestine is made up of two pieces of land including the Gaza
Strip and the West Bank. E44DX operated from Gaza City. No, the distance
between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is not enough to qualify as two
new ones!

giving us our licenses.

located on the 5th floor in the three rooms on the left.

now being used by E44/OZ6ACB from the West Bank.
