No VHF repeaters in the middle of the ocean ;-)

Plus, you're talking about Africa, where they don't have the money for
stuff like VHF repeaters.


Actually, they DO have the money. It is collected from user charges - but as
usual this money is spirited away by what passes for Government in Africa.
Usually ends up in private bank account. As a result Air Traffic Control in
Africa is a joke!!!!
