More DX?
IOTA anyone?

Cezar, VE3LYC should be on in the next day or two from the first of two
rare IOTA counters,

Nov 1 to 7: radio operation from Pulap; V62P IOTA OC-155
Nov 8: travel to Satawal and arrive the next day;
Nov 9 to 16: radio operation from Satawal; V62S IOTA OC-299

PS
Several years ago I saw one of the KCDXC members post an IOTA 500
certificate  in the KCDXC club newsletter.
So just for fun I ran the report for IOTA with my log software. I had over
500.  So ever since...... I IOTA.   :)
