I'm curious to know if anyone out there is a Ham Radio operator who is currently residing in The Gambia or knows a Ham Radio operator in the Gambia. I have a hobby interest in Ham Radios and would love to talk to someone in The Gambia.

Please drop me a private email if you are one or knows someone that is.

Thanks
