OC-090 planned
After nice holidays on Siargao (OC-235) I took decision to visit Philippines again in November.
This time I am going to stay on Busuanga Island - OC-090. Not very rare but last time activated 4 years ago in May 2013. During my trip to Siargao I brought 50 kgs of stuff (radio, PA, PS's, hexbeam etc.) what was not easy to carry and caused quite big expenses for excess baggage.Monday, May 29, 2017

Already back home
My nice vacation is over. QRT 16 May, around 2130z. Almost 800 QSOs done. 23% with EU.
50 kg of load (including 1.2 kW PA) back home without damages.
SP7SP amplifier worked great. Without that I wouldn't be able to work others than JAs.
Unfortunately my vacation coincided in time with Cezar E51LYC activation. So, I worked him from DU but wasn't able to add OC-098 to my SP5APW IOTA list...
Thank you all for nice QSOs and sorry that I couldn't be on air more. I did the best I could.
73 and see you on air in future from other IOTAs!
All QSOs uploaded to Clublog and LoTW. Clublog OQRS switched on. Waiting for QSL card design.

Only 500 QSOs
The propagation is bad. Only 500 QSOs is done. I wonder if bringing of 50 kg gears is worth that. The only slight and short opening to EU and NA was yesterday. I am mainly calling CQ, self-spotting and, in the meantime, working JA.
