[SJDXA] ET3AA

[N2OO]

Just got this.  If you still need Ethiopia on any bands. 
........
I'm returning to Addis Ababa this coming Monday night, assuming no problems with the pending snow storm in Washington or the strikes planned for the airport in Frankfurt, Germany.  

Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from DX Engineering, I'll have a few tools to hopefully combat the noise problem we had on the lowbands last December during our ET3YOTA operation.

The plan was to use the first half of the week to set up, and operate over the weekend.  However Ethiopia's Epiphany celebration falls on that weekend, and we were unable to get access to the station overnight.  Therefore we have secured overnight access to the station on January 16, 17, and 18.  We'll do our best to get setup in time for the 16th.  But please be patient.  We have a lot of work and challenges to overcome.  The goal is to improve on conditions from December, and put more people in the log.  Just keep in mind this is a long term effort.  Continued improvements will be made.  More opportunities will be available. 

Another encouraging sign, I've been asked to give a presentation on our efforts to the engineering professors and students at the university, where the station is located.  It will be a great opportunity to showcase amateur radio.

The callsign will be ET3AA, ET3YOTA was just for last December, and QSL's continue to go via Bob, N2OO.
