From CWops: - Bill W2CQ

George, K5KG, Steve, K4EU and Tom, K4NMR will be operating from Iceland (IOTA EU-21), September 6 – 20, 2022. The trip was originally planned for the SAC CW Contest, but the SAC was later cancelled. The team, however, kept their plans and will be there running pileups using TF/callsigns and working various contests, CWTs, state QSO parties, etc.

K5KG initiated the trip by contacting Oskar, TF3DC. Oskar put George in touch with Benni, TF3T who is building up the large TF3D station in the barren “moonscape” some 70 km from Reykjavik. Benni has been enormously helpful with the logistical arrangements and building and installing monoband Yagis for the station. Helping Benni with the efforts is his brother, Gudmi, TF3SG.

If all goes as planned, the team will be using three Elecraft K3’s plus amplifiers. This will be George’s 6th operation in Scandinavia, with the others being in the 1980’s as K5KG/OH0 and K5KG/OH0/OJ0. Steve, K4EU is a veteran of countless DX and contest operations, and Tom, K4NMR likewise has numerous DX operations under his belt from his Navy and Coast Guard days.
