“Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be again in Tanzania from September 13 until October 18 volunteering on a mission in the southern part of the country, at 1.500 meters above sea level. As usual, I’ll operate as 5H3MB on HF during my spare time. I will use an FT100. As for the antenna, I will use an home made Hexbeam if the containers that were sent in June arrive on time, otherwise I will use dipoles.
