Hej
6O - Somalia
LA7GIA, Ken, is going back to Somalia for a 14 days "solo trip", this time as 6O7O in September.
He has been working on this for some time now, returning after his and KO8SCA's,
Adrian's, 2018 6O6O DXpedition. Ken says, "Planning a trip to Somalia involves many limitations
and challenges wrt obtaining permissions, logistics, operation as well safety & security wise".
He has already obtained an LoTW certificate for 6O7O. Ken says this will be "a better QTH than last time,
this time also with more space for beverages to NA/EU and Asia". Accommodations and flights are in place.
Exact dates were not announced, however Ken plans to operate "for exactly 14 days on all bands
160-10m" mostly on CW. Digital activity is possible. He will be taking his "upgraded Elecraft K3 and 1 KW amplifier.
If he can get an Elecraft mic he may do some SSB. As for antennas he will have a top loaded vertical (160 meters),
full size verticals (80 and 40 meters), dipole (30, 17 and 12 meters),
and his favorite two element Mosley beam (20, 15 and 10 meters).
For receive antennas on the low bands he will have 200-230 meter long Beverages for NA/EU and Asia,
as well a K9AY loop. Donations are being sought, and in appreciation to those who send
upfront advanced donations via PayPal ([email protected]) direct QSLs and express LoTW will be sent.
The log will be uploaded to Club Log. QSL via M0OXO. Ken has a Facebook
