NCDXF BEACON: The beacon 5Z4B has now been taken over and set up by Enrico Li Perni, 5Z4ES, at a site near Ruaraka north west of Nairobi, where it is operating and not expected to be so troublesome.  The position co-ordinates are S. 01 14' 41.18"  E. 036 52' 41. 44" and locator KI88ks. 

 

REPEATER: 145.675 MHz, -600 offset.   It has been serviced and has been returned to its site with Don Gardner, 5Z4DE, where it is working very well.  Enrico, 5Z4ES has volunteered to host it but his area is much lower so Dons's site is preferred for better coverage.

AWARDS: The Big Five Award.  Details from the Secretary.
