NOTE: Sorry for the quality of
the photos, they were taken before the days of digital
cameras. They were prints that had to be scanned.

October 1995: This is
Zedan, JY3ZH, host of the Arabian Knights Net. Here
he proudly stands in front of the
wood he chopped and stacked. Now a
Silent Key (Jan '09), he will be
deeply missed by many.
Enjoying tea and listening to
stories at Zedan's house.

Saying goodbye until our
next QSO, Abu Marwan stands in
front of his home in Amman.
His KT34XA on this heavy duty
tower always produced a huge
signal into all parts of the world!
Visiting locals at JY6ZZ.
Rear, left to right: JY5HZ, JY5IM, JY5HL, JY5SK, & JY5DP
Front: JY8XY, JY4MB, Zeid (son of JY5SK)
Sadly, JY5IM passed away in approximately 2007.
Recently (December 2008), JY4MB became a Silent Key also.
At a cookout with some friends,
Salah, JY5SK & I ran into these
Jordanian radio amateurs by chance! They had the same mutual
friends so this was a completely unexpected meeting!
From left: JY5SK, JY5US, JY8XY, JY5(??) & JY3ZS(?). (I have to find
the callsigns of the last two gentlemen in my notes.) I had
worked JY5US several times over the years and he didn't
know I was coming to visit Jordan so this was a big and
pleasant surprise, for all of us!!
