MU/ON8CW/P Now online

30 September 2017

While the NB DX Team were in Guernsey as MU/ON4ANN, they were also QRV as MU/ON8CW/P from the World Wide Flora & Fauna sites as listed below.
I have now received the logs for these WWFF activities and these are now on the OQRS. Each WWFF is logged as MU/ON8CW/P suffixed with the GUFF reference. 
There will be two QSL cards printed, MU/ON4ANN & MU/ON8CW/P. QSL cards will be printed very soon.

ZG2TT National week in Gibraltar

2 September 2017
K800 QSL-ZB2TT

4th to the 10th of September is National Week in Gibraltar, to commemorate this, the Gibraltar Amateur Radio Stations can use the prefix ZG. Robert Morgan (ZB2TT) will be QRV as ZG2TT during the week in the hours he is not working.

Although we will not have a special QSL card for this activity we will overprint the QSO report labels with ZG2TT and the log will be uploaded to the OQRS after the 10th September so that you can claim the QSL card.

For the prefix hunters we will also upload the log to LoTW.
QSL Via M0URX OQRS preferred.  OQRS NOW LIVE
