I see him on FT8 and he is using SV1GA without the /A. ?I set up an override pointing both calls to Mt. Athos. I worked him and automatically uploaded to LOTW, eQSL, and Club Log. ?Club Log would not accept SV1GA as being from Mt. Athos and changed the QSO to Greece.
Does anyone know what callsign he will use when he uploads to LOTW??

SV1GA/A -- Mount Athos
From QRZ.com and other sources (edited by OPDX):
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE MT ATHOS PENINSULA
It was exactly fifty-years (50) ago in 1975, when SV1GA/A broke the
silence and Mt. Athos was on the air from the monastic community in
Greece.
While the dedicated religious community of some 2000 monks in twenty
monasteries, Month Athos is now in a glorious state with many new con-
structions and renovations underway.
To honor the 50th anniversary of the 1975 activation, the original
organizers:
Aris, SV1GA and Martti, OH2BH were invited to come back to Mt Athos
together with Adrian, KO8SCA, Gabi, YO8WW and Niko, OH2GEK.
The SV1GA/A team has arrived in Mt. Athos today and is busy setting up
their camp, up in the mountains. They should be on the air today but
it would take 2 or 3 days to be fully operational.
More information will follow.
July 1975 (exactly 50 years ago) SV1GA/A hit the airwaves from Mount Athos!
