Red, DL1BUG, best known for his previous work with the 4W8X team, is now on the air from Benin as TY5FR. Using a modest yet effective station, Red continues to demonstrate skill and dedication, especially on CW.

💬 Operator Praise from the Community:

• "Great ears and very patient!" — Bert, WA2SI (worked him on 30m)

• "First-ever CW QSO with TY—very happy!" — OO4M (worked on 15m)

With Benin not being the most commonly activated DX entity, this is a great opportunity to snag a rare CW/SSB contact on the HF bands.

📻 Get in while you can — Red is QRV through April 9!
