Oleg Sakharov (UA1PBA, RI1ANF, RI1ANX, etc,) a great Antarctic veteran is leaving to Antarctica again tomorrow (Oct.21st 2019) via Punta Arenas, Chile.
He will be signing ZS7ANF managing the Wolf’s Fang Camp (WAP MNB-12) and be QRV from there.
QSL will be probably managed by RK1PWA
We actually don’t know what are the plans for this new season but for sure, Oleg will be QRV from some of the sites he did activate last year! Several hunters have missed them … let’s hope this year we can recover what lost on last Oleg’s operation
Oleg was active last year from that area, signing RI1ANX from Dec. 2018 through Jan. 2019: He did activate 4 new WAP references: WAP MNB-Ø9, WAP MNB-11, WAP MNB-12 and WAP MNB-13 as shown on the table below.
