Information

7-8 Belgium operators will activate the Isle of Wight for the second time from April 28 to May 5, 2026.

They will be active on 160-6m, including the WARC bands, using CW, SSB, the Digital modes, QO-100 Satellite and 23cm moon bounce. Maybe also on VHF/UHF.

For Belgium operators, they will listen on the weekend May 2-3rd, between 0900-1000 UTC in the morning and between 1900-2000 UTC in the evening on 40/80m bands.

They activated this island for the first time back in 2018 with the callsign GB9OSA.

QSL INFO:
For Belgium operators, it is OK to just send a SAE with a stamp to ON6EF.
For EU and International stations, they prefer via Bureau/direct, but ClubLog and eQSL are also OK.
No LoTW or Email QSLs are accepted.

Sponsors are very welcome and for 5€ you will receive direct QSL with QSL cards from our past activations.
