GD0A/GD4SKA EU-116 RTTY

GD4SKA

John GW4SKA is currently qrv from the Isle Of Man (IOTA EU-116).

He is active as GD4SKA  with plans to be mainly QRV on RTTY with some PSK when things slow down.  Listen for him on 3.5 through 28 MHz. He’ll be using a TS590S, Acom 600S amp, Hexbeam, wires and verticals for the low bands.  John also plans to operate in the BARTG HF RTTY Contest as GD0A.

Logs will be on Clublog asap and traditional Qsl via M0OXO OQRS or Direct Post Mail.

YC9MLL OC-151

YC9MLL 1B

I heard from Leo DW1OXL yesterday. Leo has been back in the Philippines now for the last couple of years due to work.

More interesting is that he has his other licence renewed YC9MLL and he says he will be returning to Flores Island OC-151 for a period sometime in 2017 although at this stage no dates have been fixed.

I am not sure how many of the keen IOTA chasers still need OC-151 but I am sure
that some of you will.

OC-151 is on the Most Wanted list claimed by only 27.3% of chasers.

 

M0OXO ‘new’ OQRS !

OQRS

The new M0OXO OQRS system provided by the PDXG is almost ready. I have loaded around 340 Logs onto the system and i expect to go ‘live’ sometime on Sunday 11th September.

The links to the OQRS which are on both QRZ.com and my website are exactly the same as for the old OQRS.

Whilst I don’t anticipate any problems with the changeover,  please drop me an email if you do experience any issues of concern.

Thanks for your continued support
