[SJDXA] ET3AA help

[N2OO]

SJDXA members,
I am looking for a "pass the hat" again to support the ET3AA club station at Addis Ababa Institute of Technology  AND to sponsor two students to attend the upcoming Region 1 Youth Conference located in Austria in July. 
First, ET3AA needs an auto tuner. Their 20 meter antenna has some SWR that is causing their 500 watt amp to trip out. Access to the antennas is difficult for diagnosis. So, rather than risk damaging the amp, an auto tuner would be a major improvement and help to protect gear in the future. I am working on a deal for an MFJ962D 1kw auto tuner. 
Next, one student (Tsegaye) has been sponsored by the Yasme Foundation to attend the Region 1 Youth Conference to be held in Austria this coming July. Ken K4ZW and I would like to sponsor two more students to attend the conference. Ken is planning to set them up with two R/T airline tickets using some of his frequent flyer miles. But each student needs about $300 to cover visa fees and personal expenses for the trip.

So, if any of you are interested in contributing to this project, you can PayPal directly to Ken K4ZW at k4zw at verizon.net
Or you can mail him a check to his qrz address. 
Any amount most welcome. 
Thanks.
