HV Vatican

2023-04-17

Info from Alessio, IU0LFQ (QO-100 Dx Club #187):

"I'm happy to share I will coordinate a QO-100 activation for HV1CN Vatican Radio Headquarters (JN61fv) during 2023 International Marconi Day on Saturday April 22nd 2023 in the time window 0700-1300 UTC.

The plan is to activate an SSB station immediately, then a second one to operate also CW and Digi-Modes.

We will call/ask for a wide-split starting on 5 UP on SSB and CW, FT8 will be the choice for Digi, standard mode (no F/H).

QRG will be shared on activation depending on availability in the transponder.

Several Ops from "ARI Perugia" and "ARI Civitavecchia" will alternate on stations.

Fingers crossed to find a good spot in the building with open sky LoS to the SAT!

Hope to catch you all on-air!

Please note: all QSOs will be uploaded in few days after the activation in LOTW."

More info on their QRZ web page.

TNX Nina, DL2GRC for the heads up.
