Namibia Small Trip (2003-2004).

V5/JD1BLK Namibia.

     Thank you for nice QSO !  But, condition was not so good this time.  Especially the high band (20-10m) was in such bad states that I have not experienced until now.

     I was able to perform many QSOs by 40 and 30m barely. Although I performed operation from Africa 3 times until now and it left the good results, when it was very considered now, there were operation in May and August altogether.

     However, it is only correct that I got one experience this time.  It can't desire a result in which Southern Africa may go in January.  Southern Africa should go in May or August.

     Probably, as for those who are planning operation from Southern Africa, it will be good to keep this in mind.  Even if said so, this result exceeded 1,000 QSOs barely.  Possibly it was not failure when thinking in the affirmative.

     Thank you for calling and waiting.


The full size ground plane antenna which succeeded
many QSOs in JA on 40m-SSB with only 100W output.

Useing FT-100D (100W output) plus Antenna Tuner AT-130. It was afflicted by interference, and it was operated , acting as the monitor of the television.
