Dead Band Quiz

Art - W6KY
Even tho the bands are not dead, here is a good question.
 
What is the Prefix for an Italian station located in Africa?
 
Hint: Actual Italian call, starts with an I, No /
 
1st Correct answer wins an official W6KY weather forecaster.
Hang it outside the shack.
If it's Wet - It's raining
If it's White - It's snowing
If it's Stiff - It's Freezing
If it's Moving - It's windy
If it's Gone - you've been ripped off......

According to K1EA's cty.dat file, the following prefixes:

IG9, IH9, IQ9L and IZ9, although the only one I've worked was IG9.  
These are Italian islands in Zone 33.

What is the Prefix for an Italian station located in Africa?

Wolf, Bob and Earl are all winners and their W6KY
Official Weather Forcasters are on the way.

Thanks Eric for the bandwith for a lil holiday fun instead of
questions like 'My K1 won't switch to 10 meters. Help!'
'How do I hook up my Heath QF-1 Q Multiplier to my K2?'

Bob,N7XY really nailed it. They all count for 'Italy', 'Zone 33,
and Africa. A triple hit...IH9P was on the CQWW this weekend...

This must be IH9, I think.
