>>> VP8SGK (SOUTH GEORGIA) * UPDATE <<<
There was no amateur radio operation from Signy (South Orkneys) during the recent final visit by the RRS "James Clark Ross". The vessel is now sailing towards South Georgia and Mike, GM0HCQ (VP8CMH/MM) expects to be be able to go ashore and operate as VP8SGK at some stage between 15 and 19 April. His operations are very dependent on the weather and so the exact dates will not be known until he is actually there. Operating times will most likely be from 20.00 UTC to 00.00 UTC, initially on 14018 kHz. If he can get ashore earlier in the day then he may well try to work on 10 or 12 metres. On 19 April the ship will depart South Georgia for the Falkland Islands, arriving on the 23rd. This will the final call into the Falklands before the ship heads back to the UK. VP8CMH/MM will then be QRT until the next Antarctic summer. QSL via GM0HCQ, either direct (Mike Gloistein, 27 Stormont Way, Scone, Perthshire PH2 6SP, Scotland) or through the RSGB bureau.
