Already have Angola QSL'd here, Radio Nacional, Dec. 5, 1986, on 4952.

That's amazing, I have to tip my hat at your QSLing abilities.
Angola at that time was involved in a raging war with UNITA and the country
was in chaos, so I am amazed that you got anyone there to reply to you.

Tell us how you did it, as, believe me, it just didn't happen?
Did you send the QSL in Portuguese? Did you send a reward?
Mostly, if you included a dollar they would pocket it and you would never
hear from them.....

Well, I can't offer you anything in Mozambique Steve,
But have you got Angola on 7216.8?
It's on air but a difficult catch even here.
WRTH lists it as 100 Kw, but I think it is much less powerful than that.



Probably running either 1 or 5 kw.
