ZK2V NIUE OPERATION UPDATE
Chris, ZL1CT/GM3WOJ, provided OPDX with the following operation update: "A quick update from ZK2V - made 6100 QSOs in 9 days, which is a bit disappointing - conditions poor, especially last weekend. Made only 1 QSO on 160m and 2 QSOs on 80m, so concentrating on the higher bands. Openings to Europe are often short with weak signals, which is lowering the QSO rate, but signals from JA and the USA have been strong. Will be on RTTY tomorrow (28th May) for about 30 mins sometime between 0600 and 0800 UTC (14082 approx QSX up 8) - will do more RTTY if things work well.

For the first time from Niue, I have a special permit to operate on 60m - from 0000 Niue time (= 1100 UTC) on 1st June 2009 until 0000 Niue time (=1100 UTC) on 8th June. I can transmit *only* on 5403.5 kHz (USB for USA, but CW for rest of world), but will listen on 5371.5 or another channel. The website www.zk2v.com is updated nearly every day - there is an online logsearch and all QSOs are uploaded to LoTW every few days. ZK2V is QRV for 25 more days and hoping for better propagation. QSL direct or via the bureau to N3SL (not ZL1CT)."
