Too bad they didn't take some decent antennas too.

I’m really happy they took omni directional vertical antennas along.
For most DXpeditions that use directional antennas, they never beam
to my direction (understandably, as we are thin on the ground in Africa).

We at last have a fighting chance to get in the log, and it levels the playing
field, with their vertical antennas on all bands.

I have them on 3 band slots thus far

The ones they're using on 160M damn sure work -- top 160 op and
DXpeditioner N5IA said they were loud at his QTH for most of the night
the first night they were on. Tonight, they're loud here, and they heard
my 5W.
