VK6YSF JS8Call and Olivia 8/250 operations.

Current activity is generally focused - though not restricted to - JS8Call operations on the 20m, 30m, and 40m bands.

Currently there is a particular emphasis on JS8Call on the 10 and 12 m band between 00:00 and 12:00 Z, often extending beyond this period.

Olivia 8/250 is used occasionally on the 20m band.

Proposed band and mode activity is often communicated on HamSpots: https://hamspots.net/js8/ or my profile on 

X: https://x.com/vk6ysf97230 .  

Feel free to contact me to discuss or arrange a schedule for a contact.
