WE had a special guest presenter at the meeting. He was introduced to the group by Bill KC4D; he was Don Jones K6ZO. Bill and Don had made several DXpeditions to Malawi to operate from the Embangweni hospital there.
Don has been an avid DXpeditioner almost all of his amateur radio life. Don shared with us both pictures and videos of some of his travels. In addition to his visits to Malawi he shared with us his trips to Tromelin Island, the Comoros Islands and Mayotte Island. Don displayed the AR equipment he took with him and often left behind in the care and keeping of the local AR operators. He also showed photos of a variety of antenna installations and their supporting structures.
He began with his beginnings in SWL and how at a young age he earned his ticket (s) and mastered CW.
He shared with the group his plans and dreams for the station at the hospital. He told us of some of the issues of getting AR gear to these remote locations. He encouraged financial support of the hospital as well
During his ham career Don has operated from more than 20 DXCC countries.
This was a very enthralling presentation.
Ed N4EDT closed the meeting at 2137Z
