    Some news.
    1. The KPA 500 W amp is unfortunately QRT. So one station will run barefoot
    2. We have moved the RX antenna away from hotel, as well we discovered the previous RX antenna had been cut by someone, explaining the low gain... hope new one will remain intact.

              Good morning from Somalia. Final day. We will operate as normal until 15UTC when we start disassembling the antennas. After noise disappear abt 20 UTC we will continue for some hours on wire antennas for 40+30m during the night. Our flight is due early tommorrow morning local time.

              Despite not being able to operate in prime time between 15-20 UTC , more than 100 operating hours in total, we are close to 17.000 QSOs which already are on clublog and LoTW.

              Don't forget our fundraiser, any donation are appreciated

                I know it's been a challenging effort logistically, but nevertheless I'm very disappointed that you have not given any priority to SSB, which have had good propagation to Northern Europe several times. (E.g. Eritrea today was easyly worked). 101 qsos on 20 m SSB says it all. 73 de OH6VDA

                We landed safely in Dubai this evening before our final leg back home.
                What an experience to visit Garowe, Puntland State of Somalia!

                We had a fantastic vacation to an unusual destination. We did not see any other tourists..

                Thanks to the Ministry in Puntland (photo) for inviting us and staying with us in Garowe during our visit. They sorted out the license, visa, security, transport and all negotiations. Without their support it would simply not be possible to do this trip. More info in an upcoming QST article.

                We will check the busted calls soon, and post an updated log on clublog.

                After that, please send future log requests to QSL manager Charles M0OXO.
