EL2EF Liberia

[IK0ZCW]

Eric, EL2EF is a new ham radio operator from Liberia. He’s the nephew of Dickson, EL2DT and was recently active for the first time along with EL2EL & EL2GM. So far he has limited operating experience and basic equipment but will soon be on air with a Spiderbeam pole / vertical dipole mostly from beach locations using a car battery. With good logging knowledge, he’s extremely keen to be QRV. QRX for his signals..

NEWS UPDATE - Eric is now active and has been making a few QSOs using an old Kenwood TS-120 and vertical. At the moment he is paper-logging but hopes to have a laptop soon. Thereafter, he will use the services of a QSL manager who will look after his log and QSLs. Remember, Eric is a new op and is still learning.

I am a new ham in Monrovia, Liberia, so please understand that I am still learning how to operate my radio and how to handle pile ups. But I am having a lot of fun making new friends around the world!

I am working on getting a QSL card and I will be using Logbook of the World. My QSL manager will be Rex, NR6M and you can find instructions here: http://www.nr6m.com/index.php/qsl-instructions although he won’t have cards for a while. I will update this page when cards are available.

I hope to see you on the bands.

73, Eric EL2EF

NEWS UPDATE - Here's Eric today, self-isolating, using a Kenwood TS-570 donated to him by DX-World last year. He tends to be active on 15 & 20m depending on propagation. Look for EL2EF in this weekend’s CQ WPX contest as Eric will be search and pounce.

AUGUST 10, 2020 - Eric, EL2EF got in touch with DX-World to say he is currently off-air (has been for 3 weeks) due to heavy rains bringing down his antenna system. He hopes to be back up and running next week.

NEWS UPDATE - Eric is again active from Monrovia, Liberia. He currently uses a loaned IC-706MKII-G as his Kenwood TS-570 appears to have developed a fault. Eric has also rebuilt his antenna system which seems to be working well.
