Re: [IRCA] VOA 1530 Sao Tome logged in IL tonight

Very nice.  I got VOA and Vatican Radio March 29 2005 from here when
Cincinnati was off for some reason.  QSLs from both.  I think that might
have been my first Africa station, though Algeria, Libya and Egypt have
been received since.  Benin at the end of August 2013.  March has provided
some big surprises through the years.

Still slowly plowing through Perseus files from 2013, one of the best deep
SA years since we left Lawlor's.  I have a lot to review from 2010 and
2011, too.  I haven't done as much live DXing this year.  My antenna seemed
somewhat dead this season, When the snow finally melted at the end of March
I found that the coax had pulled out of one of the connectors lying on the
lawn.
