Landed at Johnnasburg about 11am after being on the airplane 18 hours. 5 Hours later we were in Mabane, Swaziland. K5LBU-Frosty, ZS6JR-Dan & W5KDJ-Wayne. While they set up the second trailer with the 18/24MHZ, 6M, & 2M beams I set up my ops position and got everything hooked up. Of course it took me about two hours to get the bugs out of everything and the contest has already started so I lost about 75 possible QSO's. I worked about 530 QSO's with 300W on HF CW. I worked 3757 QSO's during the entire 10 days there. The day we got there a solar flare hit and really made ops bad. The contest was really fun just wish we had started on time.
