A while ago some DX team decided to take a DXpedition to Somalia which I immediately wondered it it was a good idea and I ran a quick search to see what the State department had to say about visiting that hellhole.
Make sure you have a last will and testament filed before you leave.
Well, THAT says something right there. Maybe it's not a nice place to visit.
I have certainly done more than my fair share of crazy things but I am not not completely stupid.
The place has an average sub room temperature IQ of 67.67.
The place is completely beyond repair and no amount of time nor money can do a bit of good there. None.
It's one of the last places on earth where piracy is a part of its income.
Yet a group of hams tried to show up with a bunch of expensive, bright shiny objects (radios) and set up a working radio station there.
What could possibly go wrong?
While they did manage to get home safely the whole thing was a bust.
Why am I not surprised?

I just ordered a western cut shirt to replace the other one that got accidentally destroyed. Every American should own at least one western outfit.
My wife asked me why and I said, "Suppose I have to go to Europe?"
