DX-W IOTA of the Day
Bijoutier Island, AF-033 (S7)
Please jupload logs to LoTW or use Oqrs.
Film is good, but not confirm our qso with vp8eme
Thank you for this nice clip! Loved it. Worked Bob VP8LP many times on 20m SSB.
Great to see his antenna and shack and him while DXing.
One suggestion if I may: the Falklands, together with St. Helena and maybe
Mauritius are one of those places where all hams deny to confirm via LoTW (apologies
should I be misinformed). Point being: I’m happy to donate 2-3 USD for a card and I
love paper cards (see my own) but given the dysfunctional postal service in most
countries it lasts up to a year and longer to get a card.
My #1 suggestion: if you could be so nice and activate LoTW confirmation, that would
save you time plus help tons of hams worldwide to get the Falklands confirmed for DXCC.
If you e.g. do this via OQRS and with the request for a donation of 3 USD or more, you would
save you time and work and would be even better off, money-wise..
And yes, #2 suggestion: what about CW and other bands, say 15 and 40m?
Guys, I love what you do. And thants again for the reat movie.
73s and stay safe
