Hello fellow hams,
I have had several replys to my last email on goint to Swaziland in July
of this year. I hope to have 3 CW operators and 3 SSB operators make the
trip. One of the things is to be in the IARU contest on July 9th and
10th. I had thought about going to C91 but the problems of getting
through the border has stoped that so it is 3DA0 land. The trip would be
over the following dates arrive in JoBurg on the 7th or 8th and go to
Swaziland and set up the towers and beams If can get 5 pluse me to go
will set up 2 stations.
Other wise will only set up one. Then leave for home 10 days later.
There is plenty to do beside play on the radio.
So who is ready to go with me. The cost is about $200.00 a day plus air
fare.
The equiptment is as follows:
2 HF rigs
1-Yeasu mp1000
1- Icom ic765
2 crank up towers with A4s beams
80-40 meter vertical
plus other antennas
2 amplifiers
Each ham gets their own 3DA0 call also.
