Phill (3D2TS, FK1TS) is now active as C21TS from Yaren, Nauru (IOTA OC-031 – South Pacific Ocean). He is there permanently now for his work and radio operating will be secondary starting this weekend.
 
He will use his FT891 into wires on FT8 and possibly SSB. He will be using MSHV on secondaries in multi stream mode.
 
**There will be NO SKED requests**
 
Further information will be available as Phill settles in. Qsl will be available via M0OXO OQRS.

Argentina QSL Bureau

Argentina QSL Bureau has given us many problems with mail being returned since 2015, this package sent last July was returned in October, re-posted in October and returned in July 2023.

Sadly I am no longer able to continue sending Bureau cards to Argentina

In an email from Argentina QSL Bureau i am informed that there is no communication from the PO that the package is ready for collection when it gets handed from customs to Argentina Post. As this is a long term issue I have asked the team to discuss with the mail centre manager, because we are just not able to get QSL cards to the Bureau in Argentina.

M0OXO OQRS outage

Apologies to everyone trying to access the OQRS over the last 12 hours or so. It seemed there was a problem after an update where everyone (including myself) were locked out.
 
If you experienced issues with the Capctha, this has now resolved and we are back in business.
 
Please report any issues you may still have. Thanks….
