I operated from Mount Pleasant from May to September of 1993

Licensed as G0KOM in 1988, operated as ZC4MK from 1989 to 1991 and also as VP8COI in 1993

I was the 1st Legal ZC4 on 50Mhz, I achieved 71 Countries and WAC before leaving Cyprus to Return to the UK, not a bad achievement in Cycle 22 as there were few Eu countries QRV at the time, DXCC would have been relatively easy now (as shown by Nick 5B4FL) due to the General release of the Band to most of Europe I was Posted to the Falkland Islands in 1993, unfortunately I had lost interest in Radio at the time but when I arrived I accidentally found the Radio shack that was used very little with a TS-430 and 3 Element Tribander, I went to the Post office and was issued VP8COI, I played around for a few days and was soon hooked again, my biggest disappointment was not having a 50mhz Radio whilst in VP8, I think I could have worked quite a lot of stuff (Oh well that's life) If you need a QSL for VP8COI pse qsl via my UK call of G0KOM
