Is a vq9 contact common?


I also would like a vq9 contact, i have been on the island when I was in the military.
 
It's not as rare now as it was before 1976. Back then, VQ9 was Aldabra, Desroches, and Farquhar, each counting as a separate entity. I have Aldabra and Desroches confirmed and they still count separately for DXCC because of when the QSOs took place. Today they're all lumped together as "Chagos Isl", which should be "Chagos Archipelago".

Thanks, good to know that.
