Hopefully I will be in Mogadishu, Somalia between 23 March - 3 April 2013. I will be a part of a team of Turkish humanitarian effort Yeryuzu Doktorları https://yyd.org.tr/
I plan to be on the air with the callsign T5TC (callsign not yet assigned) on all HF bands, depending on band conditions.
QSL POLICY for the SOMALIA ACTIVITY
QSL cards will be printed late May.
Direct request with SAE+3GS or 2 IRC = Direct
Direct request without SAE and/or without 3 GS or 2 IRC = Bureau
Bureau delivery will be after all direct requests are fullfilled!
Log will be uploaded to Lotw / Eqsl after direct requests are fullfilled!
Any donations for the hospital and food distrubition centers will be much appreciated at https://www.yyd.org.tr/bagis/index.php
. All my logs are uploaded to LOTW .
TRAC Outgoing QSL Bureau has not been active; now the Incoming Bureau has run into some problems. If you want to recieve your cards (also want us to recieve YOUR cards as well) please send DIRECT to POB 73 (with SAE + 2 GS / IRC) .
For your qsl requests dating back before December 2010, please first send an e-mail to ta1hz@tcswat.org. We have sent out all the cards before that date to the qsl bureaus so if you have not recieved your card, either you are not in the log or your card is lost somewhere! No problem! We can check the logs or we can send you a replacement card without any expense on your side! Please inform us!
Foreign Outgoing QSL Bureaus are working perfectly. I started recieving cards for the ZA1TC activity at the end of October 2011. (Less than 2 months after the activity). Unfortunately there is no OUTGOING QSL BUREAU SERVICE in TRAC QSL Bureau. We have to send out our cards ourselves and due to the financial costs we send them out once a year. If you are not in a hurry PLEASE WAIT FOR OUR BUREAU DELIVERY!!
If You need TA on any bands please send an e-mail and we might arrange a sked !! Always willing to fill an empty slot for you :) :=)
First activity outside Turkiye with a TC suffix !! I was in Durres Albania as ZA1TC during WAE SSB Contest 2011, between 7 - 13 September 2011 and then for CQ WPX 2012 Contest , between 24-26 March 2012. Mny tnx to ZA1G Fatos,without his help I would not be able to be on the air ! Logged more than 6600 QSOs, about 500 on BPSK31. Thank you all for your patience and understanding on the air :) TA1HZ / ZA1TC

27-28-29 November 2010, I worked as TA1HZ/4 from Alanya, Antalya on the south coast of TURKIYE. The rig was a Yaesu FT-1000MarkV, antenna dipole only :( :(. The SteppIR on the picture had an unpleasent contact with a lightning!! Altogether 500 contacts, mainly on 21MHz but a few on 7MHz as well! It was a nice weekend.QSL cards dispatched beginning January 2011.Best DX!
Nairobi IRC's are void as of January 1, 2010. Please DO NOT send old IRCs anymore!!!!
Working from QRL (hi,hi,hi!) during 2010 TA VHF-UHF Contest with TB2MYE, Onur. 
WE WERE AT FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AT THE END OF JUNE 2010, AND THE QSL CARDS WERE DELIVERED TO THE OTHER COUNTRY CLUBS AT THE HAMFEST!! THEREFORE DO NOT HURRY AND SEND YOUR CARDS DIRECT BUT WAIT FOR THE BUREAU!! TCSWAT+BURO WORKS FAST!!!!
QSL CARD MANAGEMENT
TCSWAT sends qsl cards for every and each one of its contacts. If you are in the log, you will definitely recieve the qsl card!! You can send in your qsl card via bureau (but beware there are some problems in TA Incoming bureau ) or direct to the QSL Manager of the station. For every TC callsign of TCSWAT, the QSL manager info is below. Please DO NOT HURRY since the QSL cards are usually printed at least 6-8 weeks after the end of the activity. For ILOTA / MLOTA type of activities the QSL cards are printed after all the events are finished; therefore, DO NOT RUSH!!
Since the outgoing QSL service of the IARU QSL Bureau of TRAC is not providing any continious service at the moment, we are sending out TCSWAT activity cards at our own expense. This creates a financial burden which we are trying to overcome. The Hamfest at Friedrichshafen provides a solution with many national clubs attending and for the last two years we are bringing in our packages and directly delivering them there to the relevant national clubs. This is our END OF JUNE DELIVERY . Also the cards which accumulate between June and December are dispatched at the end of December/ beginning of January as START OF THE YEAR DELIVERY. Exception is ongoing activity batch (ILOTA / MLOTA) .
All direct requests should include a self addressed envelope (SAE) and 1€ ( for Europe ) or 2$ US Dollars ( US and other stations) to receive a direct reply. If you send your card but it does not meet these requirements, it will be returned via the bureau. As of September 1, 2009, all the QSL cards from the activities dating before June 30,2009 have been sent to the national QSL Bureaus.
If you have not recieved your cards of previous activities please send an e-mail to ta1hz at yahoo dot com dot tr with your QSO info. We will reply direct to you.
