After the 2010 unsuccessful DXpedition to the rare Herne Island, AF-068 I’m going there again from September 23 to 28, 2011.

My main task is to fulfil the deserving who need AF-068 for their IOTA score – mainly all who made QSO with me in 2010. And, to those who sent direct QSL for the 2010 operation, PLEASE make a NEW QSO!

No need to send a second QSL, just drop me QSO details via email and I’ll use your previous contributions to reply!

Full info including operating policy listed at QRZ.com.

Hello to all,
we are to Marrakech city, this evening we will go to Dakhla city.
May be that our activity from Herne island AF-068 will be tomorrow in the morning or in the afternoon.
For request of skeds, pse, this evening and tomorrow morning, send me email.
