From Ken, LA7GIA …
“For a long time I have been planning where to go next. This time I decided to return to Somalia which I also activated in 2018. I really look forward to this trip! Planning a trip to Somalia involves many limitations and challenges wrt obtaining permissions, logistics, operation as well safety & security wise. I have obtained the license 6O7O, and LoTW is already received by ARRL.
I have a better QTH than last time. This time also with more space for beverages to NA/EU and Asia. Everything is booked and in place like accommodation, flight etc. I will be operating solo for exactly 14 days on all bands 160-10m using mainly CW. If possible also digi mode. If someone can send me an original Elecraft mic I might do some SSB as well…
I will be using my upgraded Elecraft K3, 1 kW amplifier and various TX/RX antennas.
160m: toploaded vertical
80m/40m: fullsize verticals
30m, 17m, 12m: dipole
20m, 15m, 10m: My favourite 2 el Mosley beam
RX antennas: 200-230m beverage to NA/EU and asia. K9AY loop as backup. RemoteQTH.com equipment and controller
QSL via M0OXO. Log will be uploaded to Club Log.
