7P8AO CW QSO with HA5HRK and F5VU on 28 MHz 14 March 2010 14:13 UTC (tnx Tomi, HA5HRK)

If you have recordings of 7P8AO or T88CI signal, please let me know. I would be very pleased and appreciate very much to receive a copy.

Please be informed, that I forwarded your donation of 2,573 USD to the Commitee of the Leratong Community Centre. Please read the confirmation letter and the Commitee decision on how this amount will be used for. Later, I was informed, that they also decided to use a certain part of this amount to have a new, stone house built to Tebello and Thato, as their old house was seriously damaged during the last winter and due to the heavy rains during the spring. It is dangereus and does not possible to repair. The approval procedure of the new house project has been started during my stay, submitting the required documents to the Magistrate. As soon as they have the approval in hand, they will start to set up the new house, that must be finished before the winter. The life quality of these two orphan girls will be improved significantly. This is really much more, that I ever hoped. I will publish photos on the new house, as soon as it is ready and I receive it. Thank you again for all of you who sent donation helping the orphan children in the village of Ha Baseane, Roma, Lesotho.

The Internet access is limited in Lesotho, so I can just inform you, that I went QRT on 22 March, 02:50 UTC. There are 4,097 QSO in the log from 94 DXCC entities. The log is uploaded to the LotW and for search into the database. I will upload the log to the eQSL system, as well, as soon as I get home. Thank you for the contacts and sorry for the low signal level.

I need to say many thanks to Jennifer Thorn and all the staff of the Trading Post Guest House, Roma, Lesotho. I am deeply impressed by, and very gratefull for their kind care and for their attention with they made my staying very comfortable.

I could not read my emails in Lesotho. I will answer to everyone from home. However, I will not answer to the flag collector's request. They need understand, that the internet access and as well as my time is very limited, so I can not visit any collector's website. I am happy if I can upload the logs.

I will also inform you about the result of the donation campaign and as well as about the decision of the Committee of Leratong Community Centre made regarding this amount.
