QSL-cards are on their way to you!

Please be a bit patient, they surely will come in the next future.

After our QSL-manager Fritz, DL7VRO, is silent key, all inquieries please to his successor Roy, DL7UBA

Lesotho, the kingdom in the southern part of Africa and surrounded by the South African Republic, will be the destination of our DXpedition in July 2000. Not just on the top of the pops in terms of Amateur Radio or most wanted, it yet is good for pile-ups, particularly on the lower bands and in CW and RTTY. Furthermore it seems to be an interesting place to go, so we decided to go to this country, the ROOF of AFRICA. If you want to know a bit more about the basic facts of Lesotho, have look into the World Factbook.

You will get to know something about our 7P8AA - team on our team site.
