Conrad, DL7UE (QO-100 DX Club #263), has arrived in northeast Brazil and is, in his free time, active from HI21 as PY5ZUE/P for the next two weeks.

He is tentatively planning a short rove to additional grids:

  • 19 Feb: HI20 (likely after 1500z)
  • 20 Feb: HI10 and HI11 (first grid not before 1200z)

Each grid should be on air for approximately 2–3 hours, activating it on SSB and FT4.

As he is traveling with company, times and plans remain subject to change.
