Dear Colleagues,
Many of you heard me ON AIR as 5R8UI since 2010, when I left my country in Europe to live on Nosy Be Island, Madagascar.
On 2014 a group of 15 europeans amateurs radio organized a DXspediction to activate the island for 2 weeks with the call sign 5R8M. Local authorities and internationals consuls appreciate the DXspedction and ham radio activities. Nosy Be Boutique Hotel & SPA offers the bar area to the group as a big shack for 15 days and the beach for the antennas (15 even!!!). On http://www.mdxc.org/5r8m/ you can find some photos.The hotel’s manager likes amateurs radio!!!
After this experience I decide to organize a “ham fest” in Nosy Be, a meeting for the Indian Ocean’s amateurs radio and for foreigners too. I’m thinking to organize the meeting on 10th and 11th September 2016, and I’ll offer also the possibility to stay a little longer, to discover Nosy Be Island and the archipelago. Nosy Be Island is most famous tourist location in Madagascar, with also 4 stars hotels.
