Oh I understand wavrider, it works the same way with me here, trying to get central Africa is tough!!
I will tell you this, it's not that easy getting in Thailand either - 11 meters that is. One has to be on the radio at the right time.
For Thailand, I have about 40 minutes of opening when the widow is open. China is about a 30 minute opening. So I have to keep checking the time for the Gray line as the weeks go by.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
