Information received from Henry, NL0H:
As far as IOTA contest, currently I have appointments on mainland that week/weekend. There is a chance I will be on the island but at this time I am not sure. If I am active on radio it will most likely be 20m SSB. Possibly 40m SSB. And I would be checking propagation for 6m SSB. I will also be on 6m FT8 more when my new 4 element yagi comes. Waiting for it to arrive and with our current weather, very foggy in Gambell, there have been no flights.

After all week of fog and no planes, we finally got clearer weather and mail! I received the 6m yagi yesterday right at the end of work and as fast as possible was on the air. Good signals from JA on FT8. Even a +17 report from JA. I will plan to QRV more this weekend on 6m. Possible from the mountain. I would like to log NA and hopefully EU. But it does look like 6m propagation is not good anymore. We will see!

Thank you!

I will be QRV for IOTA contest. I am 1 Op LP SSB on 15, 20, 40, 80m. I am island fixed but I will be using battery power. Also my main antenna is at the mountain. 150 metres above salt water to the north. It is a about a 12 km to this location from my home. I likely will not QRV for the contest until a few hours after the contest start. Also I do plan to be QRV before and after the contest. Also likely on 6m. NO skeds. I am not able to keep up with requests. Please look for me on the air primarily on SSB.

Igamsi!
