[OKDXA] South Orkneys

[Rick vidmar - k9kk]

Generally speaking, VP8ORK signals were definitely on the weak to very 
weak side.
I did manage to get them on several band-modes though.  For the most 
part they were running barefoot.
Probably AMPs on the low bands.
Now S9DX on Sao Tome is just the opposite.  They are very strong and 
running AMPS.
I've been fortunate to pick up several band-modes there so far.
Good luck with them.

>> How were others hearing VP8ORK?  I know my antenna isn't very good, but they were never very loud here at all. I worked them on 30m CW for a new band and mode country.  Heard them next best on 40m but didn't try extra hard there since I have VP8/O confirmed on 40 SSB already.  Never heard them well enough to work at all on 0 or 17m.  Guess I might need to do some antenna planning.
