Hello,

10:00 VA2IEI on ZS/WC-043 14.342-ssb,24.985-ssb,146.52-fm
Special SOTA in South Africa, (Posted by VA2IEI)

Running 10W.

Will attempt updates:
IRLP VE2REA or echolink on VE2RIG.

Will be in South Africa to 11th April so perhaps some more summits.

Hope to hear you Denis - ears wide open :wink:

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.

Dennis, ZS4BS

Thanks Denis for my second ZS summit today. A couple of weeks to go before the end your wonderful holiday in SA so have a great time and perhaps another summit before you go but I think holiday comes first 8)
Best wishes

In reply to G6TUH:
Mike, it was a plaisure to have once more a qso with you.
I will probably activate à summit in the Drakensberg région, Mont Aux Sources.
Hope to ear you again.
