Belgium calling Somalia.
The photos taken by Filip Rogister (call signs ON4TA, 6O0F) celebrate his first radio holiday in Somalia in April 2007 .
Filip enjoyed his first visit to Somalia so much that he returned in August 2007 to do it again.
You can see in the photos that the Somali people loved him.
Thank you Filip for sending the above historic photos.
I know everyone in Somalia will enjoy looking and remembering your visit.
