HZ1AB - QSL Sure HZ1AB was one of the most famous DX calls heard in ham radio. The station was usually responsible for the first worked and confirmed Saudi Arabian contact for the DX enthusiast. In contests, HZ1AB provided country and/or zone multiplier on all bands and modes. HZ1AB provided the first HZ OSCAR satellite Q's for hundreds of OSCAR users. The station went on the air in december 1946; the license was a gift from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since then, hundreds of thousands of contacts were logged by over 160 different operators. New Station License requirements since 2004 made it necessary to terminate all activity on the bands. The new (Saudi) licensing authority has by mid-2004 re-issued the call HZ1AB The call can still be heard on the bands, but it is not the HZ1AB mentioned in this pages. The call is now activated by Bandar Salah Alharby from Albadyea. HZ1AB Logs The 160+ oparators who activated HZ1AB made many, many QSOs. Paper logs are managed by K8PYD, Leo Fry.
