Great, Don!? I spent much of the day on 17 CW chasing them without a bite.? Decent signals though and good operators.? If this current effort falls through, I hope there will be future moves to activate Athos.? It continues to stick out as a crazy anomaly among DXCC entities.? Chris, K5LH

Just worked SV1GA/A on 10.131 FT8 F&H.

They were fairly loud on 17 cw this morning, but I couldn¡¯t get through.? The pileup was 20KHz wide!

?

Many of us still need Mt Athos on multiple bands and modes.? Especially with the coming DXCC Trident award.

This was sent out by Bernie today¡­

It was exactly fifty-years (50) ago in 1975, when SV1GA/A broke the silence
and Mt. Athos was on the air from the monastic community in Greece.

While the dedicated religious community of some 2000 monks in twenty
monasteries, Month Athos is now in a glorious state
with many new constructions and renovations underway.

To honor the 50th anniversary of the 1975 activation, the original organizers: Aris, SV1GA and
Martti, OH2BH were invited to come back to Mt Athos together with Adrian, KO8SCA,
Gabi, YO8WW and Niko, OH2GEK.?

The SV1GA/A team has arrived in Mt. Athos today and is busy setting up their camp, up in the mountains. They should be on the air today but it would take 2 or 3 days to be fully operational.

73,

Don, N5DD
