We have changed from 3C2MD to 9L8MD.
9L8MD QO-100 QSOs will show on the live stream log like the HF QSOs.

1 October 2025 22:00Z
Today I have had some QSOs on CW and SSB.
Things are working OK with my KX3 and upconverter.

8 October 2025 22:00Z
25MHz OCXO reference now mounted at the dish.
Configuration PDF updated.

30 October 2025 11:45Z
Everything is set up and working on QO-100 but we have power outages.
I will report when we are stable - frustrating for you and me!

30 October 2025 12:50Z
We have power. I will operate FT8 maybe to 15:00Z
I will maybe post a schedule later.

30 October 2025 13:05Z
I see a problem if I multi stream only the first station will appear in the live log.
Do not worry if you receive RR73 you are in the log.
I will try to fix it before the weekend. The final log is OK.

30 October 2025 16:45Z
Still problems with the mains power at this location - it is solar powered and the battery was flat earlier. We also have problems with RF getting in from the HF stations.
We hope to have a suitable cable to get power from the good system later today - but no promises.
I have checked the log from earlier and everything is fine - no issues.

30 October 2025 18:40Z
Sorry guys - the new generator didn't change things for my location - 1 QSO.
I won't raise your hopes until we make a meaningful change.
Amazon don't deliver to this location. Hopefully we will get power sorted tomorrow.

30 October 2025 19:25Z
Oh joy! I am now powerered by the old generator and running OK.
I will try and run FT8 until about 23:30 UTC. Then I will be HF CW.

30 October 2025 19:40Z
I spoke too soon. We have just had a total site power failure.
We will do our best.

30 October 2025 21:25Z
Things have gone quiet so I will stop now.
I might try CW for a while tomorrow around 11:00Z

31 October 2025 10:15Z
I am now powered from the main generator so things are good.
Running FT8 now but I will try CW for 30 minutes at 11:00Z

31 October 2025 11:50Z
First CW session was good. Now I do 3 hours on HF CW.
Maybe more FT8 or CW from 16:00Z.

31 October 2025 20:30Z
Everything is working well. Over 525 QSOs in the log and over 80 of these are CW.
Tomorrow is my one day off. I will post a message on Sunday about 12:00Z to say when we will be operating again.
We will have another SSB operator for QO-100.

1 November 2025 17:35Z
Just some short FT8 sessions if I am at the QO-100 station tonight.
More information in the morning.

2 November 2025 16:05Z
Now some CW maybe until 17:00.
Then FT8 when I am with the station.

3 November 2025 16:00Z
I will test SSB for a few minutes now but plan to be on SSB at 11:00Z tomorrow.
FT8 as usual when I am with the station.

4 November 2025 11:40Z
We have generator problems today so I will pospone SSB for now.
I will run FT8 when I can - maybe SSB later and at 11:00Z tomorrow.
Also, when we have no power, we have no network connection.

4 November 2025 14:45Z
I will try SSB at 15:00z for 30 minutes.
Hopefully the generator will not fail.

4 November 2025 22:10Z
I managed a good SSB session earlier with no power interrupts. Over 1,000 Qs in the log without duplicates of which there are many.
So hopefully more SSB at 11:00 tomorrow. Perhaps CW later.

5 November 2025 10:10Z
Not sure about today but FT8 will run when I am at the station.
My HF CW shift will be 15:00 to 18:00 so I will see if I can do some CW and SSB before dinner.

5 November 2025 21:00Z
Unfortunately due to one station continually calling me on FT8 I have had to limit MSHV to 2 QSOs maximum.
If your are not sure if you are in the log, check https://www.mdxc.support/9l8md/logoqrs/ - try searching for PA1AIS.
I will continue with CW and SSB when I can but HF CW shifts are the priority and middle of the night can be tough.
I should have plenty of time for CW and SSB at the weekend if the generator behaves.

7 November 2025 10:45Z
I will do some CW now and SSB later.
FT8 will run when I am here but not available for other modes.

7 November 2025 20:30Z
More generator problems when I have been trying CW and SSB.
I will try some more CW and then FT8 before 21:00z. Please if you already have a QSO with 9L8MD, do not waste my time with more.

8 November 2025 11:00Z
Still generator problems but I will try some CW and SSB now.
Please if you already have a QSO with 9L8MD, do not waste my time with more.

9 November 2025 11:15Z
FT8 will run when I am here. I see requests for FT4 but I will not be doing that.
I will do CW and SSB when I have time.

9 November 2025 11:40Z
If I do not reply to your FT8 call you are probably already in my log more than once - why?
I note ongoing requests for FT4 so maybe later. Now I go for 3 hours of HF CW.

10 November 2025 11:15Z
I will go QRT soon with over 1,600 QO-100 QSOs in the log.
Thank you all for your support. 73 Richard GI4DOH
