We re glad to offer such a needed mode from Lesotho, Frost said, adding that those wanting to make a contact with the DXpedition take it easy on us because none of us are satellite operators, but we are willing to try our best at giving everyone who wants one a 7P8 QSO.
Operations will be will be at the Hotel Mount Maluti
http://www.seelesotho.com/mountmaluti.htm near Mohale s Hoek (30.16 S and 27.48 E).
QSLs will be handled by each operator separately via their home calls as each will have their own 7P8 call.
QSL routes are: 7P8CF–K5LBU–Frosty; 7P8TA–WW5L–Tom; 7P8MJ–W5MJ–Madison; 7P8NK–VA7DX–Neil; 7P9DA–K4SV- Dave; and 7P8IZ–W0IZ–Igor.
