How to work them
- Check the cluster for 3X4U spots before calling
- Listen first — do not call on their TX frequency if they are split
- Be patient on low bands: 160m and 80m will be hardest, but most rewarding
- FT8 users: follow their standard FT8 / Fox & Hound instructions if announced
QSL info
- QSL via: M0URX OQRS
- LoTW: Full upload after six months
- Official site: rockall.be
Do not send paper QSL direct unless the team announces it. Use Club Log OQRS via M0URX.
Why Guinea matters
Guinea is not the rarest entity in the world, but it is still a great catch — especially on low bands and 6m, and for operators chasing DXCC, band-slots, and mode-slots.
A 10-operator team with 5 stations and 1 kW means this is one of the best chances in years to log Guinea on multiple bands.
Bottom line: If you need Guinea, this week is your window. Get on the air early — pileups will be biggest in the first days.
