VP8FIR The Falkland Islands

Between November 2019 and March 2020 I was stationed at the Mount Pleasant Airbase in the Falkland Islands and operated with the club callsign VP8FIR.

The MPA Radio Club Shack. You can work the world with a 20m dipole when when you're a rare VP8 callsign and situated on a small island!

Meeting the legendary Bob VP8LP, one of the most active Falkland Island amateur operators and known around the world. It was a real pleasure to work him from my home QTH on 10m earlier in 2020.

The QSL card I sent during my attachment. Less than 100 sent out through various QSL bureau's around the world.
