5X4X

from DXNL dx news

Peter 5X4X is working as development aid worker in Arua/Uganda until June 2009.

He uses a Yaesu FT-950 (100 watts), a spiderbeam for 20-10m pointing to Europe mostly and a Zepp antenna for 40m.

Peter complains that a pirate abuses his callsign on 40m, 80m and 160m.

If you make any contacts with him in the evening hours you should be aware that the power line in Arua is cut after 2000 UTC.

The QSL manager for 5X4X is DF5GQ.
