Anton, ON6NL and Henk, ON4AHF are currently in the Democratic Republic of Congo working with the Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) organisation. They have been there for approx two weeks and expect to stay a further 10 days. 9Q0AR/6 is located in the South Kivu region of DRC.

Their workload includes setting up repeaters within the DRC and, during this weekend (March 13-14), they will set up classes for locals who are very interested to know what Ham Radio is. Each classroom will have between 20-25 people learning about our great hobby.

Using wire antennas and an FT-897, look for both 9Q0AR/6 and 9Q0HQ (club callsigns) on CW/SSB. QSL both calls via ON6NL.

Daniel, DL5YWM informs he will be based in Lima, Peru between March 20 – May 15, 2010. During his freetime he will be active as OA4/DL5YWM. It’s possible Daniel will take his radio to different OA-call areas. Additionally, he will check the possibility of putting a Peruvian island on the air, but this depends on the local conditions and will be last minute. Updates from Daniel forthcoming.
