On Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th 2022, I had another turn with the VK90ABC call.

The majority of my QSOs (467) were on the 20m band, followed by the 10m band (141).

The map bellow shows my contacts around the world.

On Sunday morning, there was a very nice little pile-up to Japan on the 10m band.

Below is a video of a Japanese pile-up I had on the 10m band on Sunday morning.

The long-path to Europe late on Saturday afternoon/evening, and then again on Sunday was excellent.

Below is a video of the European pile-up on Sunday afternoon.

The short-path into North America on 20m during the evenings was also good.

I logged a total of 176 VK stations and 14 New Zealand stations over the 2 day period.

MY INTERVIEW WITH ABC RIVERLAND.

QSL INFORMATION.

I did not organise this event. I was simply an operator who was given the privilege of using the callsign.

QRZ clearly states that QSL is via eQSL & LOTW.

Please do NOT send me QSL cards, as I am unable tp reply.

QSL CARDS RECEIVED.

I did receive a handful of QSL cards, but I was unable to reply as no hard copy cards were issued for VK90ABC.
