| Unfortunately another night with heavy QRN. We had to switch off the stations after midnight due to thunderstorms. It is continuosly raining since then. We will close the station tomorrow morning (Tuesday) after sunrise, take down the antennas and pack all gear. The flight back home is scheduled to be at noon. We'll be back in Germany on Wednesday morning. | ||

| Everyone is fine. Conditions could be better. All three stations are running. However we have problems with frequent power outages. There were maybe 10 outages on the first evening, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes. Our internet access is much worse than in Rwanda, we can at least update the online log. 160m is almost impossible due to a very, very high QRN level. | ||

| Tomorrow we leave Rwanda toward Burundi. | ||

| The biggest problem is the power cuts. Often they took few minutes, the last loss in the afternoon took several hours. | ||

| Last night was the 80 m band noisy. We have mad no contact on 80 m. | ||

| We arrived well in the Golf Hills Residence Kigali yesterday at 1400 local time. Everything and everybody is, all equipment is complete. The weather is great, when we arrieved. Later we had a big thunderstorm. Darkness comes fast here. We could only build the 80m antenna and ran the first 375 QSOs. We have Internet access and can read the cluster spots. | ||
| We had a power failure to 1:30 pm local time. We used this time for the setting up the other antennas. The 160m, 80m, 40m and 30m antennas, the Spiderbeam, the HF9 and the 6 m Yagi are up. Unfortunately thunderstorm already announces itself. | ||
