I have gone QRT from Zambia. Will be on the air soon as 7P8RI. Thanks for all the enjoyable QSOs while I was here.
15 February 2012
I am enjoying playing radio here in Zambia. It keeps my quiet nights occupied, and DX'ers happy!
My work schedule is six weeks in Zambia, then three weeks at home in South Africa.
Will be QRV for a year or two.
For regular updates, see my blog site at : http://zs6ri.blogspot.com
QSL with SASE, or SAE and return postage.
Buro cards will be sent once a year.
LOTW will be uploaded at LEAST once every 6 week rotation, and probably even weekly.
