NEWS UPDATE – High noise level at Halley base QTH on 40m means Seba will not be using this band in future. Only 20m SSB & FT8 from now on. Also confirmation that recent activity on 14074 was indeed VP8/SQ1SGB using this mode.

[NOVEMBER 21] Sebastian SQ1SGB today managed to meet Oleg ZS7ANF at Wolf’s Fang Runway.
