[ADXA] Zone 23 and WAZ

Fri Apr 24 14:10:20 EDT 2020

Congrats on those Q's!  Tough path on 80 and 160.   Im using beverages, 4 square on 80 and sloping wires from 140 on 160. I just don't think conditions were that great this last winter season on low bands

> Chak's station is located on his 15,000 acre wheat farm in northern Mongolia near the Russian border. Chak's farm supplies about 99% of the wheat consumed in the country. 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.
> Chak's wife handles the QSL duties and they are very prompt in sending out QSL's. Chak had tried LoTW but dropped it and did not want to keep up with it so a reason I don't recall. 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.
> So, if you need Zone 23 keep an eye on the spots for Chak, JT1CO or JT5DX during a contest. You can work his big station!
