Jesus Christ!!@!# Slovenia was NEVER part of the USSR, that's why I 
specifically wrote where it is located. West to Italy and South to Austria 
(West to I... and south to OE...)
Otherwise - life here is just dandy, we do have the fastest packet backbone 
and the most hams over population, but that's it. Lot's of equipment 
(especially packet) is homebrewed.

Well, it's nearly full, but we can cope with it so far. We have callsigns 
ike
S51AS, S53AJK, S57MXY, S59W,... - 1, 2 and 3 letter suffixes. (besides the 
number)
