Whew, what a trip! Cape Town to San Diego with stops in London, The Hague, Frankfurt, New York and Austin (Texas) along the way. Over 25k miles in all, more than a trip once around the world. We have clients in these places so I try to get over twice a year. San Diego is in a temperate zone on a latitude of 32 north, not too different from Cape Town's 34 south. That's why quite a South African diaspora now resides there. It even has a 'Saffas' expat club. With its great climate there must be plenty of braaiing activity! The rather sparse QSL attached is from XEPE, San Diego (although the transmitter is over the border in Tecate, Mexico). The 10kW rig made it over 10k miles into Simonstown, near here. The programme was about the local Padres baseball team. Currently the Padres are within an ace of getting the National League wild card. With Atlanta to beat, it's gonna be tight, going into the last weekend of the season. Over the years I've gotten into following baseball and football. I'm a fan of the Yankees and the NY Giants, having been to NYC so many times. But this week I'm rooting for the Padres!
