Why thank you, Steve. I think that's the kindest thing you've ever
posted to me! Don't let anyone ever keep you from posting your links.
Your posted logs on Tanzania back in the summer were awesome. Got me
another country!


Well, you do mean Zanzibar, correct? At any rate, congratulations on a new one. Don't
let the naysayers get ya down!

One thing I've noted of late is that 11735 is sometimes absent. Must be they have
occasional transmitter problems. But, when they are on, they do have some interesting
music, and of course the sometimes English at 1800.


Thinking of Tanzania itself (which is currently inactive out of Dar-es-Salaam, operating
on 5050), I got very lucky a few years ago when I noticed that another DX'er had received
a QSL from them. I had sent reports in the past but had not received a reply. So I zipped
off a copy of my report from 1993 and was fortunate to receive a QSL.

Here is an example of the card:

This is a hobby where patience is often required.
