Hi Folks
Conditions were generally terrible but thought I'd forward this note sent to
Andy, HB9CVQ whose determination in the face of my very weak signal was
fantastic. Skill can definitely overcome lack of sunspots!
Our Tanzania safari was exceptional and the Elecraft KX1 was the perfect
portable radio. The link to an abbreviated photo album is:

I wanted to drop a note thanking you for our QSOon 9/17 at 1925z. The XYL
and I were on vacation in Tanzania; the western Serengeti at the time of
the QSO. My portable rig was an Elecraft KX1 running about 2 watts on 30m
to a wire. Conditions were not that great over our vacation period except
for that single evening. Your signal was peaking S8/9. I was especially
impressed by your determination to copy my weak signal and obtain the
necessary QSO information.
Well done! I'll make up a special QSL for you and several other
sharp-eared OP's and send it via direct.
