5H3US - QRT FROM TANZANIA

Dave Heil, K8MN (most recently 5H3US) is QRTing after many years on the DX trail in Africa including A22MN, 9L1US, J52US and OH/K8MN.

He is packing his bags for the USA after this last tour with his US government job. The DX gang owes Dave a  world of thanks for his activity from these semi-rare DX spots. 

He certainly has provided a "new one" or a low band or WARC band QSO from each of these DX spots for many DXers over the past decade. It is now time for him to close up shop and return to the U.S. with his XYL. 

QSL all calls via WA8JOC.

Just a note to thank Dave, for MANY qso's over the years from all his journeys. His class as an operator is in the top 1 percent. I know I enjoyed working him with both my old call (N0BIW) and new one also (K0XM)
Welcome home Dave.
 
Thanks!!
