Update May 12: A pirate was using the ZC4A call on May 7. ZC4A has not been active since January 2020.
Antenna erection progress was slow yesterday due to high winds and heavy rain. Remaining antennas are going up this morning. We operated 160/80/40 metres overnight but suffered receive problems particularly on 160m as only the TX vertical antenna was available and we suffered from heavy rain static at consistently S9+ with lightning crashes at 40dB over. We were unsurprised to find a few folks commenting we appeared deaf. The weather has much improved today and we have our fingers crossed it will hold. Work is in hand to position a K9AY and add antennas for 60/17/10m. [tnx 5B4AGN]
Bob, 5B4AGN informs through DX-World that operators for the forthcoming ZC4A operation include 5B4AFM, 5B4AGN, G3AB, G3WPH, G3XTT & G6MC. Three high power stations will QRV on CW/SSB/Data, 160 – 10m including 60m from 25-31 January. Daily log uploads to LotW and Club Log are planned with QSL cards available via M0URX OQRS only.
