Lots done this week...

Shoes and sandals at 50%.
We ordered Malarone, but some how the kids doses have got lost so we have to go back to the GP and get a new prescription.
Binoculars have been purchased for Frøya, more memory cards and battery for the camcorder have been ordered.
I have ordered a meat package to pick up in Kasane for our trip to Maun.
All serial numbers for photographic equipment and passport numbers have been recorded.
The post office has been informed to hold the post, now just the newspaper is left.
The kernel has confirmed Simba´s booking.

On the radio side, I have set up and tested the buddipole at the cabin, I was lucky with the conditions and was bringing in Greece, Italy and Spain on only 5watts of power.

Monday I was at LA1B and we set up winklink an radio email service over HF. I have also tested the service on UHF and it works fine.

I have installed APRS Droid on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet, so if I have WiFi at a lodge or cafe, I can post our postion with out using the radio, makes life easier for me.

Equipment for APRS over HF should be here soon I hope as this is a little tricky to set up.

On Tuesday we were working on a direct connection from the Garmin GPS62 to the Winlink radio program to try and post grid coordinates directly on the winlink map.

Otherwise the laptop is glowing trying to rip all the CD´s so that the kids have sound books on the trip.
