Kruger Park Easter April 17th - 23rd

This coming weekend we are excited to be going to the Kruger Park.

We will be in the park from the afternoon of Friday April 18th through the morning of Wednesday 23rd. We will stay in self catering accommodation at Satara, Pretoriuskop and Berg en Dal. This should be fun!

I am taking along my QRP 40m station as stored in a plastic food container, including my end fed halfwave system. I do hope that I will be able to make a few CW QSO's with my CW friends.

Thank you in advance for trying to work ZS6RSH.

I will take my laptop along and thus I plan to post blogs covering our experiences at the park.
