Note from the administrators: the correct way to log those QSO (for our club or LOTW purposes) is using VUCC_GRIDS ADIF field in place of GRID.

Please note only 2 (or 4) grids are allowed and they must be 4 characters long, separated with comma and no spaces between characters. Any other format will be ignored.

Examples : <VUCC_GRIDS:9>LL80,LK89 or <VUCC_GRIDS:19>LK87,LK88,LK78,LK77

Thank you for your cooperation. 73

Update 1 Aug 2025 16.00z Due to rain and mountain blockage, operation from OM06/07 was not possible today. This roaming has ended.

Rui also informs they are QSL card lovers. If there is a log error or you would like to exchange QSL cards with them, please contact via email lr479935570@163.com as soon as possible.
They will announce when the log is fully uploaded to LoTW.

Update 31 Jul 2025 21.30z Here is the list of grids activated so far:

• 26 Jul OM08
• 27 Jul OM08
• 28 Jul No operation
• 29 Jul NN70 canceled. Short operation from NM68/69/78/79
• 30 Jul NM87 
• 31 Jul NM86/NM96
• 01 Aug OM06/OM07 cancelled

Update 30 Jul 2025 23.00z: "We will primarily operate FT8 on the QO-100 using the BY1HT/9 callsign. If time permits, we may TX with our own callsign (BI1FJK, BI1MHK or BG7QIW).

Sorry, we did not find a suitable place to operate the satellite at the NM77/87 boundary today, so log will only be recorded as NM87 (single grid).

The environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is harsh, and we have encountered many difficulties in our operation. 

All logs will be uploaded to LoTW. If you need our paper QSL card, please visit the QRZ.com page of BY1HT, BI1FJK, BI1MHK and BG7QIW (better to send it with SASE)."

TNX Rui for the update.

Rui Lan BG7QIW (QO-100 Dx Club #1491) together with BI1FJK and BI1MHK (QO-100 Dx Club #1628) plan to operate from 11 grids NM69, NM68, NN70, NM79, NM78, NM77, NM87, NM97, NM96, OM07 and OM06 via QO-100 during the next days. 

We will post more news as they are available.

TNX Florian, DF2ET for the info.
