JUNE 16, 2021
OK1BOA, OK1CRM, OK1FCJ, OK1GK, OK2ZA, OK2ZC, OK2ZI and OK6DJ plan activity from Sao Tome as S9OK during October 2-16, 2021. QRV on 160-6m (including 60m), CW, SSB & Digi. QSL via OK6DJ, OQRS, LoTW.
Just few CW QSOs on 60m then PC games on this band only the rest time. No way to work them on CW even although huge bunch of stations wait for them over there…until the end of DX-pedition. The 60m CW was big disappointment!
They got my call wrong on two occasions.
4Z4PA instead of 5Z4PA.
How can I get them to correct?
Martin 5Z4PA.
Thanks to the S9OK team – from this side it has been an excellent operation, great signals and ops. Thank You!
I am very grateful for the operation of “S90K” despite the difficult conditions of COVID-19.
I expect communication to take place.
Fighting~~
