We operated from The Trading Post Lodge in Roma, Lesotho.

Longitude 27.740479 E, Latitude 29.458208 S

Grid square: KG30un

We had 2 stations on the air for most of the period,

on 10-160m for SSB, CW, RTTY, PSK.

We had a Tennadyne T6 at about 40 feet, a R7 vertical along with a Tennadyne TD-160

which is a folded Dipole that is 126 feet overall in length.

News Update - March 14: Wayne reports that all bands fairly dead when they arrived,

but coming back now. Best propagation has been on 12m. Only one station

currently on the air (7P8KDJ) on CW & RTTY. Hope to get Frosty's gear out of

customs later today or tomorrow and erect the rest of the antennas for 10-160m.

Log search webpage is now online. Check back for periodic updates.

Dial-up internet access is limited at the moment.

News Update - March 17: Both stations are active on all bands and modes,

including RTTY and PSK31. The Tennedyne T-6 is up and working well.

We will be active through Sunday evening, and departing Monday.

News Update - March 18: Wayne reports that propagation has been very poor

with only about a 10 hour window each day. 15m has been better the last day or so

than any of the other bands. His amp blew-up yesterday, and is now limited to only

200w on CW and 150w on RTTY. Log search webpage updated.

New Update - March 20: T-6 antenna coming down Sunday afternoon as we prepare

to depart for Johannesburg RSA Monday morning. Thanks to all who worked us!
