   News from Gene K5GS   
      
   "Pista HA5AO arrived Maseru, Lesotho on the afternoon of Friday, 14 Oct with 4   
   suitcases weighing over 110 kg (242 lbs) of radio equipment and gifts for the   
   orphanages where he is a volunteer.   
   He began setting up the station and antennas on Saturday and will finish on   
   Sunday. The noise levels are S2-3 on the higher bands, but S5-6 on the low   
   bands. He has an appointment on Monday with the Lesotho Communication   
   Authority to pick up the license.    
   He has written confirmation that a special callsign, 7P8EUDXF,  may be issued   
   celebrating 30 years anniversary of "European DX Foundation" (EUDXF). At this   
   time he does not plan to use 7P8AO, just depends on what is actually issued on   
   Monday.   
      
   He hopes to be on the air starting Monday 17 Oct for at least 10  days - look   
   for him on CW, late afternoon and evening / night. Blackouts are frequent,   
   usually 15 minutes to 1 hour. If he unexpectedly disappears without sending   
   QRX or QRT it is    
   possibly due to a blackout.   
      
   There is Internet access, he will upload logs daily to OQRS on - HA5AO.com -   
   he will operate has much as possible.   
      
   He begins working on his humanitarian projects at the orphanages on Tuesday.
