As at 1700 UTC on October 21, the QSO count from ZL7C was around 41,000, with operations on SSB, CW, RTTY and SSTV.

During the last 24 hours, we have been operating on 160m for the first time, and this is to be repeated.
Again, the following is the planned schedule for 22 October 2002.

160m--
Approx 0545UTC - 1645 UTC
Frequency will be 1830.5 kHz, for JA we will listen down.

20m SSB
We have had a lot of requests for us to listen above 14225.
We have spent a considerable amount of time doing this, but one of the problems has been QRM from Europeans.
We will continue to listen above 14225.

CQWW SSB Contest
We will be operating during the Contest, looking to work as many stations as possible. Operation on other modes will also continue during that time.

Log upload on 22 October
This upload does not contain RTTY operation for the 24 hours ending 1700 UTC. These will be posted at a later time.

Thankyou for your continued support.

The ZL7C Team
