5V7TT DX with the Ghost ?

Posted on October 14, 2010January 4, 2011 by Simone
Ghost in the 5V7TT Team ?
a Ghost in the 5V7TT Team ?

Today I finally had the opportunity to contact the 5V7TT DXPedition to Togo. This activation has been managed by I2YSB, an experienced dxer, who knows all tips and tricks of dxpeditioning, and from what I’m seing looks like are really making a fine job and tons of QSOs.

It is said that the team is able to be present in 8 bands and modes at the same time even if officially the team is composed by 7 operators !!!  Huuuu… how is this possible ?

If you look at their  QRZ.com page http://www.qrz.com/db/5v7tt, you will learn the secret !

Zoom their picture and count legs and foots that appear on the sand… the sum is 16 !!

Well done folks…. hopefully QSL will be a real paper qsl

useless to say… this post is a joke…..but picture is true.. stiamo scherzando gente  🙂

    They obviously photoshopped someone out of the photo. Wonder why?
