The last country for this roundtrip in Africa ( after 5U,TZ and 9G ), Michael PA5M was in Benin for his work for the WPF of the UN. He was active between the the 6th and 17th of October, only in CW. Orininally he would have stayed in Benin till the 21st, but as work had been finished he left earlier.
He was only active from Cotounou in the south of Benin, using a long wire antenna with one leg north and the other one south, so not too good to work europe this time. Also was only able to be qrv from the hotel with his antenna inbetween some coconuttrees.

His licence had been arranged ahead of his arrival in Benin, with thanks to Romano, TY5ZR.
