Reminder that VK0MQ – Macquarie Island is QRV….

Aug.10, 2022

Beware the VK0MQ pirate station. Matt says this “station” is answering calls alongside the real VK0MQ on FT8 F/H mode. If you’re not in Matt’s log this is why. He uploads his logs to LoTW every month. 

Matt (VK5HZ) on Macquarie Island 2022. Still setting things up but hope to be on air more from mid June for a few months, should be active on SSB and FT8. Rig IC-7100, tuned vertical whip. Currently have quite a high noise floor – planning to relocate to a more RF quiet area soon.. QSL arrangements TBC.
