In the world of the Amateur operator this must be one of the Ultimate challenges. To put a VHF or UHF or even SHF radio signal to the moon and back. Making long distance DX contacts possible on these traditional line-of-site communication frequencies. Of the 337 entities currently on the DXCC list, 78 are considered to be part of Africa. This is in excess of 20% of the total number and more than in any of the other continents, yet in most there is little or no serious VHF activity. The DXCC FOR AFRICA project was launched to encourage local interest in VHF operation throughout Africa and to promote VHF & UHF DX operation from as many African DXCC entities as possible. While there is an emphasis on EME, other modes such as long distance tropo, meteor scatter & satellite operation are included to generate interest and increase operator proficiency. This site is a work in process and additions will be made as time and information become available.
