VS9AAA 1963 Aden, PDR of Yemen

VS9AAA
Steamer Point, Aden
Operator: Gus Browning, W4BPD
November 1963

There are several interesting things about this card:

(1) This was one of Gus' blank cards.

(2) Jim Price, W8FXP, returned the card to Gus with the following note:
"Gus - you left out date and report - pse add and return as ARRL probably won't accept without date and report."

(3) Gus was en route to Kuria Maria to operate as VS9HAA or VS9H, but he was delayed in Aden due to transportation problems. The next boat was scheduled to leave on November 14, twelve days after Gus' QSO with W8FXP. The trip to Kuria Maria was approximately 1000 miles, so Gus was expected to get on the air around November 19.

Note: Gus operated from Kuria Maria at the end of November as VS9HAA.
