On the website you will find bandplans & operating times, QSL procedure, photo gallery, guestbook and more.

I commenced operation on the 7th May 2010 from the Ilhe Do Cabo approximately 50 metres from the beach in the capital Luanda, and expect to be here for the next 12 months. I will be very active, operating on HF most day's for the entire duration of my stay.

Working conditions are an Icom IC7000, 100 Watts output, MFJ 929 Auto Atu and Inverted Vee resonant wire antennae.

I will be QRV on 80 to 10 metres including WARC bands using SSB and CW.

I will be transmitting on the following  frequencies +/- 10 kHz to allow for QRM.

SSB 7.063 MHz, 14.190 MHz, 18.133 MHz, 21.253 MHz, 24.953MHz and 28.500 MHz.

CW  3.503 MHz,  7.003 MHz, 10.103 MHz, 14.003 MHz, 18.073 MHz, 21.003 MHz, 24.893 MHz and 28.003 MHz  +/- to allow for qrm.

DIRECT QSL ONLY to:

ANDREW KITCHEN 
4 DAIRY COTTAGE, NEWTON HALL FARM, BANK NEWTON 
SKIPTON, NORTH YORKSHIRE, BD23 3NT., 
England - U.K.

Please include a self addressed envelope with 2 Green Stamps US Dollars. No IRC's.

Any cards received direct with insufficient postage will not be returned.

QSL cards will be returned approximately every 3 to 4 months when I return to the UK.

If you have not received your qsl card within 6 months of our qso, please send me an email and I will check my log to confirm if I have received your qsl or not.  

If you would like an EQSL, I will send you one upon receipt of yours, however my preferred method of confirming
our qso is direct with paper cards.

Apologies I do not participate in LOTW.

I hope that for many of you, I can give you a new DXCC entity and therefore help you towards your DXCC and
other awards etc. As I expect the openings to be very short, please be courteous to your fellow operators and me,
and do not call when I have acknowledged a station. This will minimise the qrm and delay, thereby allowing me to
maximise the number of stations that I can possibly contact within the small opening time available.

Application to the ARRL has been submitted for DXCC credit and is therefore currently pending.

I would very much appreciate, if whenever heard, if you could please spot me on the various dx clusters on the Internet?
This is a tremendous benefit and certainly helps me to work as many stations as possible.

I look forward to contacting as many of you as possible, wishing you good luck and best 73.
