An exciting and complicated dxpedition, in a turbulent territory, and not always easy to activate.

According to Clublog rankings, Somalia ranks 53rd on the Most wanted List, and with various requests on digital modes, NA / JA area, 6 meters and low bands.

Good afternoon to all,
We apologize for the silence in our communications.
Given the very dangerous circumstances, in which the entire team found itself, we decided to wait until we arrived in safe territory, to send the information that everyone was waiting for, and obviously to anticipate the return, in agreement also with the institutional contacts we had.
Obviously the operations were cancelled, the whole team is in good health, although mentally very stressed by the definitely traumatic experience that happened to us, although all precautions had been implemented.
When you travel the world, the unexpected is just around the corner !!!
The team now, is on its way to Europe.
As soon as each operator has arrived home, it will be our pleasure/duty to share with the whole ham radio community, our terrible experience in a land where no one is in charge, but at the same time everyone has a say.
We thank everyone for your messages of support.
