I would be glad to send a donation through OQRS for a CW QSO with 6O1OO to help with expenses.
No LOTW no OQRS, qsl like nothing
The guy is in need of equipment as he needs to replace the equipment frequently because of harsh environment. I already send him some small donation but more needs to be done. Poor guy is doing a favor for all of us but this is not recognized. He is such a nice and humble guy.
I wonder why these companies like icom, kenwood, yaesu etc. are not helping him?! they help the pirate ones working with no license! Stupid!
Tu for 60m FT8 QSO, hope for any 160m to.
Would be great to work Ali on 20M FT8. 6O7O is working lots of cw, but SSB and FT8 is really needed for many of us for ATNO’s. Thanks Ali, and good luck!
Good new, I hope to work it and remember that SA exists !!!

I also worked Ali on 20M FT8, and he was kind enough to confirm it via email! Such a surprise. He heard me -5 whilst I had him at -20. Great ears for a small setup and always exciting to get an ATNO 🙂
Ali just answered my (1910z) FT-8 Odd sequence CQ on 20m – 14074. Ali peaked at -22 but we were able to complete in spite of a band full of strong USA signals. What a great surprise!
According to him, working in Somalia is very harsh but he will manage to make the station ready soon. He is seeking for sponsor and good equipment. We all need to support him to activate this station. His Twitter account is @ep3cq
As it seems he already was active shortly as EP3CQ/6O0 in December/January.
