Highly unusual

Z81B.  Do you know where that is?  Well, I certainly didn't when it appeared on 12m, yesterday tea time!

Even when I looked it up in the RSGB prefix book, there was no apparent mention of it.


Eventually, having found it was from nowhere less remarkable than South Sudan, I knew which direction to point the 3-ele LFA.

About time we saw more activity from Africa. 

Nice good signals both ways, and a new, rare country for the logbook.  South Sudan is, of course, a war-ravaged country, and it's a real surprise to see any amateur radio activity from there.  Small steps are, however, being made to bring peace to the country.
