Western Sahara ham activity

One of the main functions, is to promote the HAM's activities and other stations, who wanted to stablish their stations across the country in other "wilayas" (province), and mantining the SØRASD's HAM Club's place.

Western Sahara's HAM activity need your support.

I have exchanged mails with Naama, S01A, and he will be this week there. He will do some radio with militar equipment as there are no ham radio available. As an antenna he will use a dipole. They need support with any material or funds to start again ham activity. He will try 6 meters if equipment has it.
