My 7O6T 160 mx QSO was just confirmed by LOTW! That's fast! I can start
breathing again now. His sigs were so strong when I worked him that I was
afraid that it might have been a slim. My contact was grayline on his end
at 0148 on the 13th. Jeff, was that you or Yuri?

George,
VP8CTR was very available in 1997/98. QTH was Vernadsky Base on Galindez
Island, AN-006. The operator was the much-traveled Roman Bratchik,
UX1KA, EM1KA, EM1U, UA1OT, 4K2OT, XY0RR, 3W/4K2OT.

My card says Ukrainian Antarctic Station, operator Roman, UX1KA. He was on
Galindez Island. It is strange to me that they got a VP8 call.

Antarctic Continent is a bit difficult these days. I have a few contacts in
the 80s - 90's, but pretty skimpy from year 2K.
I did work VP8CTR in Feb 1998 but didn't note the QTH. I never sent for the
card. Any ideas on the QTH?

Solid wire lasts longer, and is easier to connect to later because it is
easier to remove all corrosion without chemical cleaning or strand-by-strand
cleaning.
Also beware of gutting old wires, because some
Bob,
Not sure if Yaesu means the same thing, but the old meaning of "Delayed AGC" is
that it kicks in at a higher threshold, which generally makes weak signals
easier to hear. It also reduces the AGC's reaction to noise. You get some of
the benefits of "AGC Off" while retaining some protection
