Update July 13: VK9NK went QRT yesterday after approximately 6 months of operation and almost 58,000 QSOs from Norfolk Island.

Update April 18: I just made first upload to LoTW. QSOs requested as direct via OQRS Club Log were uploaded.

Please be patient – all QSOs will be uploaded when I am back home. Nobody knows when but I hope before next year…

My priority now is making QSOs with all who need Norfolk Island as ATNO. Contact confirmations will wait for some time.

Update April 15: Few days ago linear amplifier refused to cooperate. It seems “enough is enough”. From now on I will continue barefoot operation using an Icom 7200.

Update March 26: All my flights are cancelled and I have to stay on Norfolk for some time more. It gives chance to work me for those who need VK9N. On 10th April I will change QTH on the island for little cheaper – my resources are limited. I hope signals from new place will be also good enough to give few people ATNO.

Janusz, SP9FIH, will be active as VK9NK from Norfolk Island (OC-005) between January 12th and April 12th.
