A35, TONGA. Paul, A35RK, continues to be active as A35RK/p from Vava'u
Island (OC-064). He informs OPDX that there is "no definite departure
date." He has also mentioned that he submitted the April/May A35RK/p
log (OC-064) to Bob, W7TSQ. This log includes activity in the CQ WPX
CW Contest this past weekend. As far as LoTW submissions, Bob, W7TSQ,
informed OPDX that since LoTW does not show/give credit for IOTA, Paul
is combining his /P log with the regular A35RK log as he is still Tonga.
He also mentioned that there is a possibility that some QSOs between
May 20-24th, have an error in the time. Most are probably CW contacts.
Paul also informed us of the problem and states, "There appears to be
a problem with the 'QSO time' element in the computer logbook entry.
Some contacts appear to be exactly 'one hour off' the actual time of
QSO." So, anyone with a LoTW problem or needing an IOTA card, showing
OC-064, can contact Bill at:
This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
He can supply cards that will show the IOTA information if needed. As
usual an SASE/SAE with postage (green stamps) will be answered direct.
Bill states, "Bureau cards will be awhile as I probably will not send
again before fall. LoTW is preferred as it is less work for me!"
