V55LA Namibia

18th October 2024

Last Sunday the V55LA Team composed of 10 operators: LA7THA, LB5GI, LB1QI, LA3BO, LB8DC, LA8OM, OE7PGI, LA9KKA, LB1FI and LA7WCA had a preparatory online Teams meeting.

All is going well in the team, discussions went around the equipment readiness, the antenna setup and computer network. We should be able to use Clublog realtime QSO feature which should avoid some stress and dups.

Our QSL Manager Charles M0OXO has setup the “Request your QSL card” via M0OXO OQRS only: https://www.m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch.php?dxcallsign=v55la

Logsearch will also be found on Clublog: https://clublog.org/logsearch/V55LA

Charles M0OXO

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.
