Re: [IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] The Gambia MW

Hope you're taking photos. These'd be great cover pix for DX bulletins, for 
club web sites, better yet even guidebooks of stations. Maybe you could even 
sell ones to pubs like the WRTH or Monitoring Times... Just be sure pix are 
hi-rez and well focused. Best bet is to take lots of photos, good variety...
