Derek Linton in W4KVX Don Chesser's hamshack in 1959

Derek Linton from Durban, South Africa visited Don Chesser in Burlington, KY.
Derek was in charge of the round-the-world Anglo-African safari which was to include at least on ham operator, perhaps from the USA. Derek secured equipment from Hallicrafters in Chicago and various other suppliers. The safari would include 6 men with two Willys 4WD trucks that would put on around 70,000 miles each in 21 months to 2 years and would depart Durban, South Africa on December 31, 1959.

Here is a map showing the route of the safari!

Did this safari actually take place and was there ham radio activity? I'm not sure!
