FO8AT in the log:
FO8AT FO0 (FO zero) 8/20/58 cw 20m
K1IMP/KC4 KP1 9/1/66 cw 20m
K4IA/KC4 KP1 6/23/69 cw 20m
I still don't understand why they don't appear and I wonder how many
other old qsos are missing, perhaps from obscure cw bands that I no
longer need.
Good news:
I actually worked ZS8MI twice in April 04.
Qsl says Marion Island.
When I look under F1 in the prefix list, there is no Marion Island
but Pr Edward I appears.
The location is given as Marion Island with coordinates:
S36?52'35'' E37?51'39''
So did I work Marion Island after all, or this a different place?
Thanks for your help Rick.
Larry
