“Paperwork”
• Finding QSL routes
• Requesting confirmation via QSL cards, LotW, eQSL.cc
• Tracking confirmation requests
• Updating objectives as confirmations are received
• Submitting confirmations for Award Credit

• Monk Apollo, SV2ASP/A• resident of the Monastery of Docheiariou, with a heavy workload• works all HF bands in SSB, RTTY, PACTOR, AMTOR, and CW
uses a 3-element SteppIR antenna employs 200 hz shift in RTTY
After a 39-year chase !

Look for Recent Activity
• QRV for an hour on 17 SSB• Working split• Spotted from EU and AS

Check Spots
• Consistently “up 4”? slugfest
• EU spotters in DL, EA, F, I, OE, TF
• AS spotters in 4X and OD

Forecast Short- & Long-path Propagation
• 17m @ 14Z opening looks thin• Stronger openings
• 17m after 15Z• 20m, 30m

Check “Actual” PropagationWho Near Me has been Spotting Stations Near SV-A?
Define a “near SV-A” filter to Show Stations
•in SV-A, SV, LZ, Z3, ZA, TA1, or TA3
•spotted by stations less than 500 miles from my QTH

Actual Propagation by Band & Time-of-Day

Compare Actual & Forecast Propagation
• 15m opening is stronger than forecast• 17m can open as early as 12Z• 20m is open when predicted• 10m and 12m could support a QSO

SV2ASP/A: the Plan
1. Watch 18120 – 18150 daily at 1400Z with antenna on SV-A “Blueprint” the band with local spots
2. Employ a European DX Cluster as a Spot Source
3. Rapidly QSY when SV2ASP/A is spotted Enable audio announcements Double-click to QSY and set split Amplifier and/or Tuner settings
4. Use dual receivers and a panadaptor to rapidly locate Monk Apollo’s listening frequency
