pile-ups with my QRP station at home, I understand the challenges.
The rig on this trip will be an Elecraft KX3 and antenna arrays
will depend on the trees, how high I can get the ropes to go, and
whether a dipole, loop, or vertical will be the
best for the site from which I choose to operate. Times and
frequencies will be published [QRZ.com] before my departure for
Tanzania, but they definitely will not be written in stone.
Operating times will depend entirely on my responsibilities and
schedule at the Nyakato Health Center." QSL via NK8O.
