KX1 in Tanzania de 5H2JD (K1JD)

JohnK1JD
Hi Folks
Conditions were generally terrible but thought I'd forward this note sent to
Andy, HB9CVQ whose determination in the face of my very weak signal was
fantastic. Skill can definitely overcome lack of sunspots!

Our Tanzania safari was exceptional and the Elecraft KX1 was the perfect
portable radio. The link to an abbreviated photo album is:
