3DA0SS Swaziland DXpedition a big success

David, GI4FUM, has returned from Swaziland and reports
that the 3DA0SS expedition was a big success.

Around 20,000 QSOs were made, many of them on the data modes. The International Scout Camp was also a great success with the scouts learning many new development skills.

The Irish Radio Transmitters Society (IRTS) committee, with the agreement of the CQIR Contest sponsor, Dargle Builders Limited, agreed that the excess in the contest fund which amounted to more than 1,000 Euro, should be donated to the Swazi scouts towards the cost of providing clean water at their campsite.

While David was there, the new pump was installed and
commissioned and clean water is now available for all the camp needs.

Following the AFRI75 expedition to Swaziland and the resultant publicity for the Scout Project there, many individual IRTS members donated monies for projects at the campsite.

The IRTS are happy to act as a conduit for any such funding and if you are interested in helping, you should contact Paul EI2CA or David GI4FUM.
