DL1BDF Mustapha, DL1DAW Achim, Diana, xyl Monika, Julia
Above the dxpedition team in the shack of 3V8CB at the Scout Center in Bordj Cedria. It is situated between Hammamet and Tunis at the Mediterranean Sea.
Mustapha ( Below he is in operation at 3V8CB) is a born Tunisian and heīs living in the city of Norden in north Germany. He is the contact to the Tunisian Ministry of Communication and to
the Tunisian Amateur Radio Club (ASTRA) to get the license for operating at one of the 7 Scout Club Stations. I got the license for 3V8CB in Bordj Cedria which was
the closest to my holiday site in Hammamet.
It took me only 1 call, 2 emails and a fee to get the license. Thankīs for your great support Mustapha!
At the 2nd day in Hammamet I called Mustapha at his celluar phone and surprise...he stayed in Bordj Cedria. We made a date and I visited him with my family at the Scout Center.
After an adventurous taxi tour the friendly people in the Scout Center gave us an warm welcome. I handed over some useful donations for the club station.
Mustapha still needs donations to equip the clubstations. He is the founder of all the 7 Amateur Radio Stations in Tunisia and therefore very popular
by the Tunisian HAMīs. Mustapha introduced us to a lot of his friends and after refreshing my xyl and the harmonics went to the beach and I enjoyed
Amateur Radio with the 3V8CB callsign.Thankīs to my xyl Monika and my harmonics Diana and Julia for enduring my
holiday ham radio operation and also to the nice people at the Scout Center in Bordj Cedria for their hospitality.

The rig was an FT 757 GX which was matched to a multiband dipol. Unfortunately the beam and the rotor were damaged.
We worked 605 qsoīs at the 22./23. and 31 July 2002.
If you worked me during this time please use my logbook search to check your call sign.
The qsl route is only direct to: DL1BDF Mustapha Landoulsi Westlinteler Weg 30 26506 Norden GERMANY

Who is the camel? Thatīs the question! Please think twice before you announce a silly answer! Beside Amateur Radio DXpediton we had a Sahara trip with camel riding. An unforgetable exiting experience!
The conclusion: A great not standard holiday with a lot of new impressions and more understanding of the arabic (islamic) culture! Try it also!
Worldwide friendship with Amateur Radio.
