JD1YBT - Ogasawara

Small Japanese invasion on Ogasawara Islands at the moment. Calls acticve: 

JD1BLY

JD1BMH

JD1YBT

JE2EHP/JD1

I was trying listen them on the bands when this entity is needed. No bip on 40M nothing on 30M as well.

I need Ogasawara on 12M too .... wasn`t on my list as .... I didn`t believe to work Ogasawara on 12M these days ....

Few spots on DX - Cluster early this afternoon showed that JD1YBT is active on 12M SSB.

Mast with my Hexbeam is folded because of bad weather. 

Antenna just 3M above the ground but pointed to Ogasawara direction.

I can hear them! Run to the garden. Mast up , back to the shack ... one call ... EI9KC 59

Ogasawara on 12M in the log !!! Shortly after JD1YBT went QRT ....!

There is a hope for LoTW upload! JD1YBT is one of the rare Ogasawara Operators who are uploading their logs to LoTW.

At the moment I have just one band CFM on LoTW - 20MCW by JD1BLY

Update: E30FB - Eritrea also on LoTW today!

Thanks for 4 new bands and two modes!

299 DXCC on CW on LoTW!
