CORRECTION! Chak's wheat farm is about 25,000 acres, NOT 15,000!

Chak and his wife live in Ulaanbaatar and he remotes to his station from there. It is a several hour drive from Ulaanbaatar city out to the farm.

This past winter Jeff, K1ZM was at Chak's for a 160 meter op and spoke to Chak about getting back on LoTW. The 160 meter logs from that op were finally uploaded to LoTW however I do not know if Jeff handled it or if Chak is back on LoTW. Regardless, you can be assured of a QSL from JT1CO if you work him.
