I have worked the Falklands many times over the years and well remember the 
war England got into with Lu, Argentina, that resulted in a lot of deaths 
for no reason other than Argentina said the islands belonged to them.  A ham 
had one of the first solid state rigs, what was it called, the number was 
210 but I can't recall the company name.  Anyhow, he sneaked around from 
house to house, setting up a temporary antenna, and kept the British 
informed of ground troop movements and all.  I think I read about that back 
in the days World Radio News was still being published.  I'd sure hate to be 
down there in that type of weather right now.  None of the expeditions have 
got to be easy even in nice weather.
