Hello out there in the world of DXers and contesters:

I am trying to put together a team for the IARU contest this July to =
operate from Botswana A22. The contest is on July 10th and 11th.
Not sure of the cost yet. I would like to arrive in JoBurg on the 7th so =
could have a day to unwind before heading over to Botswana. This would =
all so be a 10 day in country. Everyone could have their on A2 call to =
use before and after the contest.

It is about a 6 hr drive with at least an hour at the border crossing. I =
have talked to Andre about putting this together so we can use his =
towers and antennas. Also his rigs.=20

So if anyone would like to join with us so far have 3 who have ask about =
it.  This is a phone and cw contest but doesn't go for 48 hours. so need =
both type of operators. Also if any one wants to we can include a visit =
to one of the game parks to see the big 5 Lions,Elephants and such.

I would like to have a team in place by the end of April. The cost would =
be around $200.00 per day which will cover the hotel,2 meals a day, =
transportation from JoBurg airport to Botswana and back.
