Thank you for these most interesting
links. Ivory Coast (believe it or not, they prefer English speakers to
call their country by its FF name «Côte d'Ivoire»!!) was
one of my toughest QSLs. It took me some 4 or 5 reports to coax a QSL out
of Abidjan on 4940 kHz in 1979.
Radio-Cameroun also took more than one report, but I
got a QSL from Yaoundé-4850 for a reception on Nov. 29, 1977. The
card took more than a year to arrive. BTW, Cameroun is the only country
other than Canada where EE and FF co-exist as official languages. It used
to be a German colony (Kamerun) until 1918, but was divided between Britain and
France by the League of Nations at the end of WWI.
Those 60 meter Africans that I heard in the late 70s
are some of my favorite QSLs. I have also QSLed Sénégal,
Togo, Chad, Bénin, Nigeria (including Enugu-6025, which counts as
Biafra), Mali, Ghana, and the defunct ELWA.
