I’ll be active from 2000mtrs high mountain on S5 north border JN76EK. Location is wide open to S, SW, NW, N and NE.
Primary 3cm band will be used with 80cm offset dish and 9W. I use FT-817 so I’ll be QRV also on 2m & 70cm but with only 5W.
I hope I’ll be QRV on ON4KST chat.
Hope to see you in the contest!

As you can see QSL card for Corsica activities is printed. All direct QSL requests were already answered.
I’ll be active in CQWW CW (28./29. 11. 2015) contest from Corsica together with other team members. We will use TK0C call. More info you will find here.
Before contest I’ll try to activate some SOTA summit, if weather…, will announce on sotawatch.
Just two facts which tells how special this contest was:
– after approx. 20 years my friend Aleš decided to join me and participate in contest!
– I finally made my first rain scatter QSO!
From 21th of March, as we promisse, QSL cards were delivered to S5 QSL bureau. On image below you can see nearly 1,5 Kg package, mostly with KL7KY cards. By the end of this year I’m sure QSL will be on your bureau!
That’s it. Contest is over I realy have one QSO in the contest log and this is not normal one, this is a QSO with S51ZO, Jože – my first JN86 square on 3cm 🙂
Marina yesterday received a new package with KL7KY QSL cards! On the end of this week all direct QSLs will be out. All bureau QSLs will be sent to the bureau on 21st of March.
Thank’s for your patience!
Today I did a short stop at Marko’s finest place – contest location near Kamnik. Actually I did not want to disturb him, but Marko is vy good contest operator so I decided to look for short what’s his progress after first quarter of Ctest. I found amazing number (over 500) QSOs already in his log and even more, pile up was so extensive that Marko just saying all the time:” This is crazy, I want to shut down all”! Can you imagine how nervous he was?
The second thing I would like to point out is all equipment which is more than fantastic. Two radios are working vy well. N1MM logger in the moment of my observation just print out the thinest signal on the band – nearly DX station from neighbour municipality – S53BB! Probably he compete in QRP category, because he gave out number 30 on that time.
And on the end just one more information. In Marko’s shack were also M.K. and A. – WCCT – WPX Contest Control Team. Team leader was so proud to his team mate A.K., that he decided to maried her!
Nice 15 minutes of visit. Good luck Marko!
