Have Lord Howe and/or Norfolk ever been worked on 2m, 7Ocm or 23cm? It should be possible from southern VK4 and VK2 during summer Es. Can we encourage some ops to give it a go?

FROM OLLIE W6NV
Seppo will be QRV on 6M tonight and for the next several nights will looking for VK and Pacific and South America. Seppo will be listening for KH7Y beacon CQ on 50.105 and of course CQ some ourself on 50.110. He uses VK9/OH1VR.
VK9LT will probably be on 14.002 most of the night.

HM QSO?
Maybe Seppo no show on 6M cos like many of us he is sick of all the 6M bullshit this cycle..
I think this cycle has shown 6M has no credibility when it come to DXpeditions who have to spend many dollars on a trip.

Then you go to the VK9 EQSL in box and get this warning
Look in your Logbook for this QSO before confirming it! If you confirm QSOs without verifying them, you may be giving fraudulent credit for eAwards!
If this QSO is NOT in your Logbook, then please REJECT it!
A sign of the times, I am told cos some idiots tried to claim countries on 6M this cycle including qso with VK WTF?
More fool the idiots for hitting the CONFIRM GREEN TICK..

Times have changed Steve,
Seppo may not have had the propagation gods smiling on him. That's very nice that you were fortunate to have propagation in 1990.
Ollie gave me the information I passed it on.
Cheers

That makes sense Steve.
With regards to EQsl - yes, a very big issue -
With regards to stations claiming worked by using emails to confirm contact NEVER on...even seen example of that on this Logger for a VK to EU 6M DX.
WIA Awards now accept LOTW and EQSL but only AG stations, and now has ADIF upload...
You work them on the radio otherwise it is not a valid QSO.
Thanks.
