Harris 2010 Monach islands – IOTA-EU-111
The Monach mini DX’Pedition is over. We managed 1664 contacts in total, thanks to all who worked us.
We are operating from the Monach Island between May 5th and May 6th 2010. Operations will be on 80m, 40m, 30m and 20m. Both SSB and CW but CW will be mainly on 30m. Operators were Martin G3ZAY, Colin G4ERO, Rob M0VFC and Gavin M1BXF.
The Harris 2010 diary with Monach 2010 tags will have updates during our trip as well. We expect to have an online logbook but all this can only be updated if we have cellular coverage.
Please note: We have a scheduled contact at 19:00 UTC and may disappear off-air for 30 minutes on the SSB station whilst we complete this contact.

Please give your special attention to JA. Cause of poor condition to UK, CW operation will be effective for us. Try 30m CW as long as you can. Thanks.
Nice to work you on 40m this evening. Just to confirm – the aerial I used was the electric fence around my horse’s paddock, hooked up to the Icom AH-4 tuner in the car with my IC-7000 running about 30W. Good 5/9 signal in IO92VC – TL226427 – Sutton, Bedfordshire. As young Mr Grace would say – “Carry on, you’re all doing very well”!!!
Thanks for the nice QSO!
Can you give me the WAB square for Monach Isl?
Good luck!
