NEWS UPDATE – The DXpedition to C.A.R has been rescheduled to November 2022 (at the end of the rainy season).
[MARCH 26] The Italian DX Team will be active from the Central African Republic as TL8AA (CW-SSB-RTTY) & TL8ZZ (FT8) during 27 March to 09 April 2022. QRV with 7 operators; 4 stations active on 6 to 160m.
NOTE: The IDXT were previously active from C.A.R in 2017 as TL8TT
Please make also activity on QO-100.
Rescheduled in November 2022.
They were not allowed to board the plane. No matter what vaccines are available. Security first.
Dxpeditioning is a frustrating experience in this now risk adverse world. My sympathies to the Italian Dx Team.
Meningitis has been around in CAR for many years. There are far greater disease and security risks travelling to CAR than this. There is also a vaccine.

The dxpedition has been cancelled due to cases of meningitis in Bangui. The team was already in Milan airport when they were stopped and couldn’t board the plane.
Silvano and his Team always run a superb well run DXpedition. I look forward to having some Q’s both on SSB and FT8. Travel safely, and Good Luck!!! 73……Mitch KI4TSI
Wishing Silvano and the IDXT safe and successful trip to TL.
Always enjoyed working you folks on all bands, you’re great operators!
Unfortunately due to martial law regulations in Ukraine we can’t transmit and will miss the chance to work the DXedition on 6 meters.
Anyway we pray for PEACE and hopes for the future.
God Bless ham spirit.
Please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 do some rtty !!!!!
Good luck safe trip 73 Mw0cri
