established in the range of 1 800 to 2 000 kHz. ZS amateurs can transmit
between 1 810 and 2 000 kHz.

South African stations must submit confirmation of having contacted at lea
st six different Southern African call areas, of which at least five mus
t be in the Republic of South Africa. The sixth contact may be from the re maining South African call area (ZS) or from any of the bordering countrie

DX stations within 1 000 km of the borders of South Africa need to confirm
contact with three call areas in the RSA. Valid confirmations are paper Q
