RI0X Karaginsky Island IOTA AS-064 in the log !


Hi all, finally heard the RI0X team !!
It was 2 days I was looking for them since their start on the island, but NIL in EU, the skimmers listening to them were from JA, VK or KH6... This morning they were on 20M CW as usually AND they had a good signal here with a nice pile-up.
Listening to the split, taking guys "going down", 2 calls and "in the log" ! ;)
RI0X IOTA AS-064 is my #457 worked IOTA. 
This island has not been activated since 15 years ! Thanks to the team.
By the way, if you want to log them, hurry up, this is their last day of activity... Good luck !

VK5CE/8, T88CL & Co in the log !

Hi, 2 days ago I logged VK5CE/8 QRV from IOTA OC-173 Bathurst Island on 20M SSB through Russian & East EU pile-up ! :)
This IOTA was last activated in 1999 !! It is my 456th worked IOTA...



Yesterday, I worked 9K2WA on 12M SSB for a new band mode for Kuwait...


...BX4AD on 20M CW for another new band mode. Taiwan is now needed on low bands ! ;)


 Today I logged T88CL on 20M SSB for a new mode (#289 SSB) ! Palau is now worked in CW-SSB-RTTY... Hope some low bands activity this winter...
