TT8ET - Chad
Elke, TT8ET, is currently active from N’Djamena, Chad. Using a small
vertical on 20m SSB, Elke reports she has no propagation at all from the
central African continent to eastern Europe and beyond. Presently, local QRM
from landlines & powerlines interrupts her transmissions, but she is hopeful
of setting up a new antenna system and using battery power to overcome this.
QSL: Elke Takatsch, B.123, N'Djamena, Chad.
Further news from Chad indicates a team will be putting on a DXpedition
from there by the end of this year. [dx-world.net
