4U1UN

"We're one step closer to being back on the air", James Sarte, K2QI (President of the United Nations ARC, http://www.4u1un.net) posted to Facebook on 16 August. "As some may know, Dmitri Zhikharev RA9USU along with Adrian Ciuperca KO8SCA have been working with me behind the scenes to get the station operational again. Through the generous donations of Dima and his associates (notably Ed Kritsky NT2X), we were able to get a rack mounted K3, Acom 2000 linear amplifier, and associated network-enabled control hardware. We were also granted another K3 to act as a remote head from SK Tony N2UN via his widow, and delivered to us by Andrew Bodony K2LE. Finally, Adrian has been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes networking and legwork with his counterparts to help get things done from within the United Nations.
Yesterday represents an additional milestone for the club as Adrian (who did most of the work) and I, finally erected a brand new SteppIR BigIR vertical antenna on the Secretariat's roof. All that remains is to connect and lay the ground radials, fine-tune the rack mounted devices, and setup and configure the remote K3. Once done and after almost a decade off-air, we can finally call CQ 20 de 4U1UN".
"With regards to remote", K2QI explained in late July to DX World (see
https://dx-world.net/whats-the-issue-with-4u1un/), "the operators will still be inside the UN proper. Just now, everything will be done by IP where the control heads are located on the first floor and the transceiver on the 41st floor to minimize coax length to the antennas. There will be no true remote operations of the station from outside the compound as dictated by current UN network security protocols".
