The NOTAM has been removed, it seems that if it was a canceled launch, waiting for more information on the matter

NOTAMs expired when the window closed, they weren't cancelled.

It remains to be seen but this is one source that hints at a scrub.

So it seems that the countdown did start this time but stopped while the rocket was still horizontal, it would be interesting to know what the cause was since it seems that the pandemic restrictions were not a problem. Maybe a failure in the ground equipment or in the rocket itself?

GF02F seems to be on the same orbit as GF02D; with RAAN 46° ahead of the orbit of GF02A/02B

And the two newest spacecraft, GF-02D and GF-02F, are in the same plane (same RAAN, same LTDN), approximately 180° apart.
