Information

Jack, ZS5J, reports on QRZ.com: "After a long wait - I have been living and working in Kenya for 3 years, I finally received approval for a full Kenya callsign - 5Z4J. My home callsign is ZS5J (South Africa), and my other callsigns allocated to me are C91J (Mozambique), A25J (Bot-

swana) and 7P8/ZS5J (Lesotho). At this stage I will only be confirming QSOs with LoTW. But please be patient - I received my Kenya local license today (14 August 20), so I still have to bother the ARRL to get this new callsign registered on LoTW." Jack mentions that most of his ham equip- ment is too big to transport to Kenya, so they remain at home in South Africa. He currently has the following gear with him in Kenya:

  HF:  Icom IC-7300, Icom IC-7100, Icom IC-7000, Elecraft KX3 and PX3 panadapter, Yaesu FT-891 and McHF SDR

VHF: Kenwood TM-D700A

ANTENNAS: An multiband 80-10m antenna. A 80-30 meter EFHW impedance transformer with a 133 ft wire sloping antenna up a tree at 85 ft.
