CN8LL in Morocco may be your best bet. It's a bleak region for amateur radio, the last figures released by IARU showed the following number of amateur stations: Algeria - 60 Morocco - 176 Western Sahara - no figures presumably zero hams Mauritania - 20 Senegal - 41 That's 297 hams total. You could take the percentage of US Hams who are AMSAT-NA members and apply it to 297 to get the number likely to be active. 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
