contacting d68c

During three weeks in February 2001, the 5 Star DXers Association are in the Federal Islamic Republic of the Comoros Islands, trying the allow as many radio amateurs around the globe as possible the chance to contact this small archipelago situated to the North West of Madagascar. To find out more about this, probably the biggest radio operation of its type ever, please see their website.

I have set myself the target of contacting the group on each HF band and mode they are operating (except data). As I get more contacts with them, the table below will be filled in to show how well I am doing with the date (UTC) of my contact. (I have now removed the time from this page, so nobody can use the information to fraudulently apply for a QSL-Card!)
