I have received the LotW certificates for my Z22AO, 9J2AO, A25AO and V51/HA5AO callsigns. The QTHs are booked. The visa to Namibia is applied and hopefully will be granted soon.  All the equipment and antennas tested and packed in 3 baggages. The total weight is 92 kg, excluding my personal stuff. Thank you for the generous support from Spiderbeam and Messi & Paoloni.

Kazungula region

Kazungula Bridge MapWhen I started planning my next DXpedition to Africa, I wanted to find an unique place to celebrate the 50 years anniversary of my license. I found the common border of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia on the map.

Celebrating the 50 years anniversary of my HAM license, I will be active from four African countries in September/October 2024. The operating sites are within 40-80 km circle of the common borders of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. Ten days of operation can be expected from each country on CW, SSB, and FT8 from 80 m up to 6 m.  The licenses are in hand, the QTHs are booked.
