Quite an enjoyable and productive week with at least 5 contacts needed to get into the list. Z22O (Zimbabwe) was the most sought after followed by VP8LP (Falklands) I worked him on FT4, 8Z3FD (Saudi Arabia special), 5Z4VJ (Kenya), SU9VB (Egypt) and D4L (Cape Verde).
I worked J643DS which is a special callsign for Saint Lucia's forty second year of independence!
The NTRC [the licensing Authority] has given permission for all licensed Saint Lucia Amateur operators to use the prefix J643 and their personal call letters from 00:00 UTC, 20 February 2022 till 00:00 UTC, 26 February 2022
This applies to all Saint Lucia operators, from Novice upwards. All are to operate within their license class permissions.
So you’ve not got long to catch them!
