Update 2013.03.30

QRT Now! TNX FER all the calls! You can now request QSLs using the Donate button on the logsearch page, sending at least $4 and putting your callsign in the Remarks field. It has been a pleasure and a great experience, made less QSOs than last time, as I concentrated mainly on the J5 activity. I had to cancel the planned IOTA activities due to insufficent funds, maybe next year. Also tried some six meters operation, but I don't like it any more than before :) I have been once again annoyed by the high number of duplicate QSOs. 73 and CU next year!

Will be QRV again from lateJanuary 2013! I will be operating99% CW, other modes on request. I will be operating10-30mmost of the time, maybe 40-80m ocassionally. Pleasedo not ask for other bands, especially six meters, I have no antennas and no time to waste waiting for ocassional openings. Please do not send QSL cards to the HA Buro!

Equipment used: K3, IC-2KL/AT-500, 5Band Spiderbeam for 10-20, GP for 30, Dipoles for 40-160.

MixW for RTTY, UCX Log for the rest, running on an old IBM Thinkpad.

For all info, including QSL status and OnLine Log, please visit my Africa website!

A few hints to make our life easier and our hobby more fun:

• Know what "UP" means!
• Avoid dupes! I update the online log almost every day, check your QSOs!
• If a specific country or continent is called, don't call if you are not there!

Further details are on the DX Code of Conduct website, keep those in mind!
