I have tried long and hard to
reach AHmad over many months - Egypt is rare and the moment he
appears a tone of much closer Europeans pile in and make it
impossible. I was not set up to record this time (of course) so
the recording is one of the earlier sessions that illustrate the
challenge.
Hopefully we can now arrnage a
sched and have a proper QSO and talk about Ham radio in Egypt.
It ought to be simple, but nothing in Africa ever is...
FT8 Corner
Introducing a new feature to the DX diaries - there is not a lot
that can be said about ft8, but it's worth recording what goes
on. For now I will add the FT8 reports to the first entry of the
country in question.
This was a particularly unexpected opportunity and I bagged
Nacho first time.

The challenge of
Africa...
There are many, many
stations calling but not being heard. Hamed has the all too
familiar local noise blight ..
Hamed is struggling to hear the callers...

Workable signal - no
image though.
This 20m prop map also promises more than the
band delivers
