ARLD055 DX news

Thanks to Paul, K1XM, the Yankee Clipper Contest Club, Gary, K4MQG,
Wayne, KH6WZ, Bob, W5KNE, and QRZ DX for the following DX
information.

CHAD.  Carolina DX Association member Ken, WA4OBO, is on his way to
Africa for two to three weeks.  After a brief stop in France and
Senegal, he will arrive in N'Djamena, Chad, on November 10.  Ken
will be operating as TT8OBO as his work schudule allows.  He will be
working with the government as an advisor to their cotton and
textile industry.

Ken has allocated several full days at the beginning and end of his
stay for nothing but radio and will be on 80 through 10 meters on
SSB only including the WARC bands.  For CW buffs, Ken is trying to
have other hams in Chad handle the CW operations using his call.

Ken will have at least two stations for his use.  One is in place in
N'Djamena.  The other station is with one of the Americans there who
doescarried in.  WA4UUP has furnished his Kenwood 450 and Yaesu is
offering an FT990 to assist in the operation.  INDEXA has furnished
an SB220 amplifier and QSLs.  QSL via WA4OBO.

March 1993.  Time for plenty oftrip.
