Travel: SenegalQTH: Somone, Senegal, 6W/EI6DX

In November 2009 between CQWW SSB and CW I am going to operate from Senegal, from a small village of Somone located 70 km Southeast of Dakar. I will concentrate on low bands and will work mainly CW. Participation in the Ukrainian DX and Japan Internation DX contests is scheduled at the weekends.

October update: my very good friend from the old UK1OAP-UZ1OWZ-RK1OWZ times - Dima aka “Mike” UA1OMX is joining me. Mike is a top notch SSB op. So as of October, its not just CW we are going to work on. A 6V license has been applied for. I now have to make sure I get the ACOM over to Dakar. More…
