Update 06 May 2025 @ 20.30z: Today Gerry was able to keep his antenna aimed at the sat (see photo below) and made numerous QSO on SSB mode.

He will try to be QRV as much as possible tomorrow. The departure to VP8 is scheduled for Thursday 05.00z.

Update 05 May 2025 @ 12.00z: Gerry's activity has been delayed due strong wind, preventing him to have a steady aim at the satellite. He is now working on the HF setup, but will try QO-100 again later. 

Gerry, G3WIP (QO-100 Dx Club #288) is currently on the way to his new assignment (Falkland Is. VP8) and will do a stop over on Ascencion Is. where he plans to be QRV as ZD8GB for 3 days, starting tomorrow 5 May 2025 around 08.00z.

He operates mostly SSB mode, but he will try FT8/4 for the first time via QO-100. Please be patient if not all goes as planned.

Gerry also ask amateurs to abstain to email him asking for skeds, etc.

Beside QO-100 he will also operate HF bands.
