Fafarad Island NA-207

3rd July 2018

Bruce, KD6WW & Mike, K9AJ plan to activate this rare IOTA counter. The last operation from NA-207 was 18 years ago.

We hope to be on Fafarad Island on the evening (local time) of July 19. We plan to be QRV until the morning of July 23.

We will have two stations QRV on 40m thru 17m. CW will be our primary mode, but we plan some SSB and FT8 is a possibility.

Calllsigns will be KD6WW/VY0 and K9AJ/VY0.

QSLs are via the home call & we will use OQRS, direct w/ SASE and bureau.

Fafarad Island is grid EO92.

We anticipate support from IREF, otherwise this operation is self-funded. We welcome any additional support from the IOTA community.

I was born in the 1960’s and have lived all my life in the Coal Mining Town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, Northern England. My parents were all from this area of Yorkshire and my father worked in the main Industry of the local Collieries as a face worker. I have been married to my wife Debbie for 35+ years and we have two children and two grandchildren.

I have been licensed for around 20 years after my interest was re-kindled when I retired from my role as a Police Officer within South Yorkshire Police Force. The latter few years were spent as Radio Operator in the Force Operations Control Room at Sheffield, before my career ended.

IOTA chasing is (and always has been) my real passion, as climbing the ladder to reach Honour Roll status was always my main aim. The 1000 Islands Trophy is still out of reach but I am heading in the right direction. I am currently a Board Member of IOTA Ltd and IREF.

In my free time I am a keen Photographer of Wildlife, Aviation, (anything really) but the QSL Manager role is my main passion within Ham Radio.
