Hi Dave,
From the Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin No. 1450 dated Feb 3 2020: TT, CHAD (160m) Nicolas, F8FQX (ex-TJ3SN, TN5SN, 5T5SN, TY2CA), who has been in N'Djamena since December and plans to be there for the next 3-4 years, will be on various HF bands and 6 meters signing TT8SN. This past weekend there were reports that Nicolas was on 160 meters using FT8 and CW. Watch between 1836-1840 kHz starting as early as 1815z and as late as 0545z. QSL via DL9USA and LoTW. 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: "Joel" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 3, 2020 1:07:18 AM Subject: Re: Topband: TT8SN QRV CW Yes, TT8SN was vigilant about uploading to LoTW. By the time uploaded myself and got ready to shut down and go to bed my Q was already confirmed. I have no idea who's operating over there but they are on top of their game. 73. . .
