To end well this year a new VHF tower has been erected today.
It will hold a new 6M stack 5x5x5x5 to EU/JA by Momobeam antennas.
After 7 yagis on 10m soon we will totally have 7 yagis for magic band. HNY

You will soon receive your direct paper QSL card. Tnx all for the contacts.

New vhf pallet for 2 meter. Finally flights are open and we can carry it to resume PA.

Our friend ZS3JPY Kobus is asking VHF stations in the concerned areas to listen for this week the following beacons from the southern Atlantic:

144.475 st Helena island and

144.114 ZS3JPY JG80MH

As they have very good tropoducting over the south Atlantic and it will be fantastic to see you RX the beacons.
