Dxpedition team secure Rwanda ham radio licence

After one year trying to get a license to operate from Rwanda, Toni, EA5RM, (Team Leader) has travelled to the RURA offices in Kigali, the capital city of the Republic of Rwanda, to pick up the 9X0R licence.

Toni states, "RURA is trying to establish amateur radio rules in Rwanda with the help of Peter, 9X5SP. Right now there is not an easy way to get an amateur radio license here but in a few months things should be different and ham radio activities will start to be more usual from this country.

"I'm grateful to RURA General Director and Peter, 9X5SP, for their help and cooperation, and at the same time, my team and I are happy and proud for our little contribution to the future of amateur radio in Rwanda."

The 9X0R multi-national team will be active from Rwanda in March of this year.

The 10 qualified operators are: Roberto EA2RY, Gerard EA3EXV, Javi EA5KM, Toni EA5RM, Manuel EA7AJR, Ruben EB5ESX, Javi EC4DX, Massimo I8NHJ, Fabrizio IN3ZNR and Dimitri UY7CW.

Activity will be on all bands 160-10 meters, on CW, SSB and RTTY with 3 stations at the same time on different bands and modes. QSL via EA5RM.
