Information

Update Nov,23: VQLog is now sponsoring this operation

Update Nov,6: 3C1L operation will end (QRT) on November 12 morning (local time). Flight home is November 13 early morning.

Update Nov,4: Their QRT date might be around 8-10 November

Update Oct,27: We are in new place. Folding antenna is up (20m-10m bands), finished in darkness. 3C1L will be on the air soon with one signal. 2nd K3 is not yet in our hands. “Monday” again. Tomorrow will put up other antennas. The place is beautiful. Mains voltage is OK here, big generator in operation.

Update Oct,26: Plans regarding 3C1L have changed. Yuris is in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea and he says that they plan to activate 3C1L again. He is looking for proper QTH. But they are not QRV yet. Those were pirats playing on the air earlier this evening on 80m band. The spare K3 has arrived, but has not yet passed customs.

Update Oct,11: On October 9 (evening) 3C1L was activated from the hotel in downtown Malabo using a simple vertical antenna. By the morning of October 10 the first 500+ QSOs are in the log. Later, on October 10, they packed hardware and went to the airport to catch the scheduled flight to Annobon. But due to stormy weather the flight to Annobon was postponed to October 11 morning. Tickets are in pockets. So on October 11 early morning they will fly to Annobon and continue from there as 3C0L. Further plans are not known yet.

Yuris/YL2GM and Kaspars/YL3AIW plan to be on the air from Annobon as 3C0L and Equatorial Guinea as 3C1L in October 2017.
