VI100AF in April 2021

Posted on by

On Thursday 29th and Friday 30th April 2021, Marija and I used the VI100AF call for 2 days. VI100AF is one of two special event calls to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force.

Over the 2 day period we made a total of 342 QSOs on 20m, 40m, & 80m SSB

  • 20m……….203 QSOs
  • 40m……….73 QSOs
  • 80m……….66 QSOs

I did put out CQ calls on 10m and 15m but had no takers on those bands.
