I monitor the 20 meter band just about every day. Uganda is UTC + 3. 12 pm Eastern Standard time in the US is 8 pm here. I use an Icom IC-718 feeding 100 watts into a Hy-Gain multiband vertical
mounted on the metal roof of my office building.

I am up early and I was walking from my quarters to my office one morning when it was yet misty. I took this photo. Then , later in the day I shot these other pictures. The leaning tower of Masaka is a tower on the grounds of Uganda Telecom, the telephone company. The little blur on the left side of the tower near the upper cross piece is what appears to be a VHF antenna. The tower base has suffered a collision with a large moving object, probably a truck, and therefore leans to the right a few degrees. It appears there is no 2 meter amateur radio here in Uganda.
