SHACK MEETINGS: Normally the first Saturday of each month at 10 am but sometimes changed for convenience. Visitors are most welcome - contact the Chairman/Secretary for information - Tel/Fax: Nairobi 891302 or by e-mail.
The next Shack Meeting will be at 10 am on Saturday 7th June, at The Shack, unless otherwise notified.
NETS/BULLETINS: Every Sunday morning on 7075 kHz (LSB), 0600Z (0900 local). Run by Hermann Sachse, 5Z4RT. Usually there are up to about 12 participants and amateurs in neighbouring countries are more than welcome to join in when conditions permit.
NCDXF BEACON: It has not yet been possible to reposition the 5Z4B beacon from the QTH of Hermann Sachse, 5Z4RT near Kiambu to a site provided by Enrico Li Perni, 5Z4ES, near Ruaraka, so it is still operating as before.
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.
PUBLICATIONS: Monthly newsletter "QTC" circulated to members.
AWARDS: The Big Five Award. Details from the Secretary.
