ZS6NOM.
On the 24th and 25th of November, Leon Lessing, ZR6ANA organized an amateur station ZS6NOM on behalf of the Battle Group South as part of it’s exhibit at the Military museum in Johannesburg. He setup the whole station single handed.
he set up an 1980's long-range patrol camp and operated the radios. Fortunately the rain which delayed the erection of antennas didn’t dampen Leon’s enthusiasm. He actually slept over at the museum on Saturday night! The equipment used was two B25’s and a FT-101 ZD.
