5W0RM – Samoa

Robert, ZL4IG will be active holiday-style from Upolu Island, Samoa as 5W0RM between September 5-13, 2015.

QRV on 40 – 15m SSB, CW, low power.

QSL via H/c.

“This is Robin ZL4IG’s Samoan holiday callsign for casual DXpeditioning. The holiday’s are to visit my daughter and so ham radio will come second to spending time with the family.

QRS: I can’t copy code faster than 15wpm, so please aim for 12wpm. I find CW pile-ups impossible to deal with, so please bear with me and forgive me if I go QRT, or QSY to the phone part of the band if things get too tough for me.

At this stage, the transmitter is a 5Wpep FT-817 and the antennas will be simple.”
