HF band operation with a 60m dipole, 6m delta-loop, and DX Challenger vertical

Real-time Club Log uploads and livestreaming (internet permitting)

Youth mentorship: Three local students learned antenna setup and pileup techniques under Elvira’s guidance—part of their prep for YOTA Summer Camp 2025 (France)
🗣️ Elvira’s Message:
“Each QSO has been a bridge to new friends, new cultures, and new stories… This amazing ham radio community goes far beyond just being on air.”
📸 Photos: On-air action, antenna builds, youth mentoring, and scenic Comoros moments.
🎯 Note to DXers: Some QSOs may not appear on Club Log due to poor local internet—be patient and check again post-expedition for full log uploads.
👏 A big thank you to Elvira and her team for this meaningful activation from D68Z. One that combined technical achievement, international friendship, and youth engagement.
