TopBand: Africa Update 160m

[Graham Mercer]

Fellow Reflectees!

Following gleaned from QSOs on 24 & 28 Mhz ....

TT8JFC ..John in Chad ..
Active from 2200z on 1840.0Khz

XT2DP in Burkino Faso ...
Has suffered lightning damage to the TS-50 rig, which has affected his CW operation
He can only operate SSB on  all bands ... due to lightning damage, his rig puts out continuous carrier on CW and is unable to key 
the Tx ... sez, quote "you'll need a good ant to hear me on 160!"  (Apparently everything, including house, water supply, power 
source, antenna masts etc. are all home-brew ... no technical assistance for rig repair ... nearest source of QRM/QRN is at least 
100Km away .... but faulty rig is spoiling his activities ...

73 de Graham/GM4BES.
