[HoustonHam] Fw: Botswana

[frosty]

Dave,
Several talk big but do nothing. NN5O only wants to go to Ireland so he can
sit in a pub and drink.

I have put together 3 other trips so far and have had a great time even when
I hurt my knee on the 7P8 trip in July last year.

It will be a blast doing the IARU from A2 as no one does it from there.
There are several hams who do some DX from A2 but not much.

We have a 756proll, amp, 60 ft tower on a trailer with a 4 el triband 2el 12
& 17 meter beam Dipole for 160-80-40,
Butternut HF6v vertical plus other stuff.

I make at least 3 trips a year to South Africa. One of these times am going
to go to C9 and use my call C91CF. I only get to go when school is out such
as this March during spring break. Summer time after going to
Friedrichshafen ham fest. and over Thanksgiving or Christmas break.

I think we can find some Kosher food for you. HI HI  Come on and pack your
bag. I will send a copy of the details as soon as I get it finished.
