TNX Rene, PE1CMO for the info.

TNX Rene, PE1CMO for the info.
Update 19 Aug 2023: Bo managed to find a path to the satellite from HQ90 grid and he is now QRV.
His audio is a bit rough but nobody is complaining, hi.
Update 17 Aug 2023: With the help of Ari, TF1A the dish it's now on the way to Bo via helicopter. So, hopefully in the next days, OX3LX will ve QRV from HQ90.
TNX Rene, PE1CMO for the info.
Update 16 Aug 2023: Bo is already on the new location but he wasn't able to carry the dish antenna with him. Now the only option is to source one locally. Keep your fingers crossed.

Update 11 Aug 2023: Bo will move to the village of Ittoqqortoormiit (HQ90) from 16 - 25 Aug 2023.
Although this location is largely behind a hill that obscures the QO-100, Bo expects that it should still be possible to find a place for making contacts via the sat. If he manages to source dish locally, he will try.
This expedition is sponsored by the Three Musketeers (PA2V, PA3FYM and PE1CMO).
TNX Rene, PE1CMO for the info.
Bo, OZ1DJJ, will be QRV from Greenland between 4 - 14 August 2023 as OX3LX (grid HP15eo, the same location where he operated from in 2021)
This is a rare oportunity to work NA via QO-100 (relevant for WAC award, as Greenland is the only DXCC from North America the sat footprint).
This activity is sponsored by the Dutch Three Musketeers group (PA3FYM, PA2V and PE1CMO) who loan the equipment.
