Senegal
I enjoyed a lot staying at Jean Francois’ Le Calao last year. Below are some images from the 2009 trip.
This year I am going back to Senegal with my family. I will operate holiday style outside of CQWW in evenings and during the night primarily on 160, 80 and 30 meters CW. My main target this year is to take part in the CQWW CW 2010 and get close to the World Top 3 in SOAB LP. I will bring my K3 and hopefully will have a K9AY available for low bands.
I will work from the same QTH as in 2009. Somone is located 70 km Southeast of Dakar. QSLs for this DXpedition will be handled by RX3RC, bureau or direct. If you have specific requests or questions – contact me via the guestbook.
I would like to thank all ops for calling me in November. It was a great pleasure to work you last year. New QSLs have just arrived here and I will be answering all requests received directly as well as via the buro. RX3RC has already replied to all QSLs he has received so far.

Hello Stan,
Thank you very much for the new one on 160-meters yesterday evening. Conditions were a bit peculiar, with very rapid QSB. You were briefly S9+ in Virginia! Again, thanks for the contact on Topband and the great website. Nicely done.

Hi Steve, thank you guys for calling on 160. Very noisy band here. Thanks for your patience. gl de Stan
Hey Stan,
Glad to have worked you on 15 meters and 20 meters today here in Wyoming. True professional at the radio my friend. Have a safe trip back to Eire and will hope to work you from your home QTH someday. Best 73′s to you and your family.
