Africa DXpedition
About 1800 meters above sea level, north of the Capital City of Kigali, Rwanda is the Kanyinya Hills Hotel and was the site of the DXpedition.
I was joined by Harald DF2WO, an experienced African DXer, who visited for a week of his 40 day stay.

Operating from Kigali Rwanda Using Callsign 9K2AW
Here’s the deal with getting a license. Give yourself plenty of time (3 months). E-mail in the application with all the requirements. If you don’t hear back from them in about 2 to 3 weeks. Something went wrong, try again.
Where I went wrong is I didn’t hear back but assumed no problem, I’ll visit the office when I get there. Well, they said they never got my request and it takes them a week to process a new application. They were very kind when they said I could operate using Harald’s callsign.
