PACIFIC DXPEDITIONER (KC0W) IMPERILED BY THEFT

Dr. Cohen:

You and I have had our differences in the past. Despite that, I wanted you to know that your efforts on Tom's behalf are appreciated. Like Col, you did more than just talk about it, you took action.

At this point in time, let's all hope that Tom makes it back home safely, and then worry about the rest later.

 

The island appears to be uninhabited, makes me wonder how something like this could happen...

 

Truth.

 

So sorry for Tom's lost and I hope they catch that Bastard!......my only guess is probably it end up in the pawn shop for cash or could be one those ham thief.....it happens to my ham friend when a fellow ham(not to mention his name or call) stole his 6 element 20m mono band antenna trying to Pawn it for cash little bit he know the pawn shop owner was a friend of mine........whose the Dummy now?!

 

Have a look here, that place is anything but uninhabited.

Uninhabited except for the +100,000 population.

 

100,000 is the population of the entire country. Tarawa (Where KC0W is) has about 50,000.

 

Been there. Would never expect this. Curious to hear the full story.

 

Yes.

 

I WOULD SEND 10.00 DOLLARS.....
