7Q, MALAWI (Update). Allan, G0IAS, updates OPDX that Les, 7Q7LA, will
once again be on the air. He is hand carrying some (ham) stuff for Ron,
7Q7RM, to make sure that it arrives safe and sound and doesn't get lost,

are very hard to operate on due to the noise level. More details about
their 160/80 operations are forthcoming. QSL Route for 7Q7LA remains
via DIRECT ONLY to G0IAS (not allowed to use the RSGB and there is NO

schedule, Enno cannot be active very often. Look for him on 80-10 meters
(30, 17m in particular), 99.9% CW as indicated by his callsign. All QSLs
