| 1981: European-African Economic Convention |
Located on the north east coast of the Horn of Africa Djibouti City is the site of a deep-water port strategically placed between the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. The Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway provides Ethiopia's only link to the coast, a journey time of about 20 hours for a trip that would otherwise take several days

All a Radio Amateur needs is an antenna and a radio transceiver to make contact all over the word. Today used mainly by the hobby enthusiasts but I think still useful in these uncertain times of wars and disruption of the internet.

The first two stamps are so colorful. I'm impressed you have four stamps from Djibouti
Actually the four stamps are an invitation to visit the country!
I've never thought of Djibouti as a destination. Maybe I should now. 20 hours is a good reminder of just how big the area is! The last one is clever.
Impressive collection from Djibouti. I had never heard of it. I like the last stamp.
I do like that year as the zebra middle! Yes, amateur radio is still important. I read Morse code is too.
Lovely stamps. My uncle was an amateur radio hobbyist (rarely Morse code though)
