SV1AG/A -- Mount Athos (Update Jan. 26th)
From QRZ.com (edited by OPDX):
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE MT ATHOS PENINSULA
January 26, 2025
Our Mt. Athos written amateur radio permit allows us to operate for 10
days which means that we will be on the air until February 3, 2025. We
have about 10K QSOs in the log and have been on the air on multiple bands
including 160m and QO-100 satellite. Yesterday we have made the first
log upload to ClubLog and enabled OQRS.
ClubLog: https://clublog.org/charts/?c=SV1GA/A
We will be deploying our last antennas today for the 80m and 60m bands.
Please note that all our FT8 operating is Fox/Hound using the latest
version of the WSJT-X software (ver. 2.7 RC8).
We would like to think that this Mt. Athos activation is just a first
step in opening the doors to other teams to activate this desired amateur
radio entity. Our goal is to show that amateur radio DXpeditions have
no impact on the monastic life of the Holy Mountain. On the contrary,
it creates goodwill and allows the 3 million amateurs around world to
see this beautiful and serene place with different eyes.
All proceeds from the SV1GA/A DXpedition are donated to the Mt. Athos
monasteries to support them in their efforts to restore and maintain
the historical sites on the Holy Mountain.
The donations are done by PayPal through GRACE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
which is listed as a Public Charity 501(c)(3) entity (tax deductible
donations) in the USA.
Mount Athos has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1988.
