Zambia surprise!

12m was certainly very alive first thing this morning, with huge signals from Europe.

Then, from nowhere, a weak signal, barely visible on the waterfall, from 9J2BS.

This adds to the two other QSO's I've made with Zambia, the most recent (9J2HN) back in November 2013 using what is now almost a totally forgotten mode - JT65A - and my then 12m antenna - a steerable 2-element vertical beam.

Other good news is that a very slow lifting of Covid-19 rules looks likely over the coming days and weeks.  A very good job, because everyone is really fed-up of being locked indoors now, and the government clearly concerned about social unrest as the summer approaches.
