VC8B - No News is Good News

Everything is still on track for Banks Island this weekend. I'm watching the geomagnetic conditions closely but you can't do anything about the weather down here, let alone the weather on the sun. Let's hope for quiet conditions and maybe a sunspot or two...

I expect to be QRV for a few hours Thursday night (Friday morning UTC) and then more-or-less continuous operation from Friday evening (Saturday morning UTC) until Sunday night (Monday morning UTC).

Thanks for yesterday QSO on 20m. Skip to West Europe peaked at 22:00z (late prop here), and working by numbers is definitely the way to go with some South and East europeans stations.
Enjoy your trip and the pile-ups!

Thanks John, for the work you did on both stations and adding to the excitement of Ham Radio for me and so many other operators. I was so amazed you heard me, kind of, hehehe, good job!

New prefix, new island, and all with my usual attic dipole and 100W fighting the pile-up. Thanks for a real thrill, and for your efforts in getting to such remote places!
