SKCC Hawaii Ops
Hi all,
Here's a hot DX tip. Greg N8GAS and Sam KD8DLV will be QRV from Kona, HI... March 13 (arriving) and leaving March 22. They will have two rigs and plan to operate with the intent of each reaching their "C" level. One radio setup includes a Flex and Expert 1.3 KW amp. They will use their home calls so watch for KH6/N8GAS and KH6/KD8DLV on the sked page. QSL route is unknown at this time but we'll try to get them to use the SKCC Bureau. Good luck to them and good hunting to you.
73,
Ted K8AQM/VE9AQM 1629s
