4X0, ISRAEL. Operators Hal/W8HC and Jerry/K8OQL have announced their return to Israel in October for another CQWW DX Phone Contest (October 25-26th) from the Holyland. In commemoration of Israel's 60th anniversary in 2008, they have been granted permission to operate as 4X0C as a special event/contest station from atop Israel's historical Masada National Park.
Masada was built during 37 BC to 31 BC by "Herod the Great" and served as a "nearly" impenetrable stone fortress and palace. The site is located in the remote Judean desert and is situated on a rhomboid-shaped table-top plateau rising nearly 450 meters. This contest location offers a breath taking panorama of the Dead Sea and Jordan's Moab Mountains. Interestingly however, Masada's actual elevation is near-sea level since the Dead Sea below is over 400 meters below sea level. Masada is also known as the site of one of the largest mass suicides in history when in 73 AD, some 960 Jewish Zealots took their own life rather than die at the hands of the Roman legions that had breached the fortress walls. Hal and Jerry will be hosted and joined by Ruben/4Z5FI for their Multi/Single operation during the contest. QSL via W8HC, direct or by the Bureau. All 4X0C QSOs will also be uploaded to LoTW as in previous operations (4X0WV). Hal will QSL 100% via GlobalQSL.com. Additional information about this operation can be found at: http://www.w8hc.com
