[HCDX] A DXer in Kabul...

[Paul Ormandy <paulorm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Just posted an article to radiodx.com from UNESCO worker and DX League 
member Martin Hadlow who is in Kabul.

         "It looked like it would be an impressive place to visit. At the
          front gate, two guards stood with their tripod-mounted machine 
gun placed
          strategically atop what looked to be a table. The weapon was 
wrapped
          in a long belt of live ammunition. Steel combat helmets sat on 
the table
          alongside the gun and the guards gave us a cheery salute as we 
entered
          the compound. We were at the training centre of Radio-Television 
Afghanistan,
          a fine old building which had once been home to the first Radio 
Afghanistan
          station. Nestling in a back-lane in the old city of Kabul, just 
a stone's
          throw from the bustling money market and sellers of clothing and 
fruit,
          the building wears its age gracefully, albeit with countless 
scars of
          bullet holes dotted across its facade..."
