The Daily DX News of October 13th suggested that Sri Lanka is the place to be for the CQWW SSB Contest.˙ So right they were that three visitor stations will be penetrating the scene for a week, including the days prior to the contest weekend.˙ This semi-rare scenic island with its natural beauty is indeed the place to be now and in the future, as their tourism offering˙is well established with a line-up of fine hotels in full operation. How about a trip to Cinnamon Island, the true home of˙highly-desired Ceylon cinnamon along with those rare ones in IOTA AS-171.
Ham Radio Tourism (HRT) is indeed well-established in many places around the world. Now Sri Lanka joins those ranks from zone 22 in the Indian Ocean, seven (7) degrees North of the equator. ˙
