Piggs Peak Trip II
The purpose of our second trip was for the contest. Sam, ZS6BRZ, met us at Andre’s house with his 4-wheel drive vehicle. We hitched up the tower trailer and off we went. We rented one rather large lodge that slept four, had two full bathrooms, and only cost 100 USD per day.

Licensing: It is just a matter of filling out an application for your license. Andrew drove to their capital city of Mbabane and applied in person in advance of our trips, but I believe you can submit your application by mail assuming you give yourself plenty of time.
