First of all thanks very much to everybody, who helped our activity. Most of all to Mr. Kacem El Kaoukabi, CN8LR, secretary of the Association Royale des Radio Amateurs du Maroc (A.R.R.A.M.), the official IARU member society of the Kingdom of Morocco. His personal efforts made everything possible! Kacem is a true Radio Amateur and a good friend.
