In reply to G6TUH:
146.520 FM is not going to work in South Africa. He should try 145.500 FM.

In reply to VE2JFM:
Denis will activate ZS/EC-005 on Thursday 27 March 2014 from about 12:00 UTC.
Can someone please inform him 146,520 FM is outside the 2 metre allocation in South Africa and IARU Region 1. He must use 145.500 FM

Morning Denis,
I am not sure what the terrain is like at Hogsback. The area is popular with tourists.
I will be listening out for you on HF.
