From the Z23MD crew: Problems with our internet connection go on. No all PC can be live online due to the modem-router limitations. Furthermore the 5 GHz signal from the cellular repeater comes and goes. Anyway we update the log every day and, if possible, two times a day. If you don’t find your QSO in the log, please wait at least 24 hours before writing us. TNX for understanding us.

Internet is back at #Z23MD. Even though with a slow connection the first log updates are online. LOG & OQRS Page

Due to an unexpected internet break the Z23MD location is actually unable to send news and log updates. The issue will be fixed in the next few hours, as local company said. However if the issue will go on beyond the scheduled times, the log will be evenly updated from an external internet point.

Et voilà we are ready for  the new adventure !  Next challenge for the Mdxc team will be Zimbabwe, with call Z23MD. As always, we will be active with 5 stations ( 2xSSB – 2xCW-1xRTTY)
