Desecheo DXpedition update
February 24, 2009 2300Z

After reaching the 100,000 QSO mark last night, instead of kicking back and coasting, the team has worked the bands harder than ever. 

There are still so many people calling, many needing KP5 for a new one, the team has put their head down and kept going.

Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, we begin to scale back the operation and prepare for departure.  Just as when we ramped up, we will scale down with three stations remaining QRV until dawn (local time) on departure day, Thursday the 26th.

Many antennas will come down tomorrow and equipment packed.  We enjoyed a beautiful sunset tonight and many of the team sensed that the end of this incredible adventure was drawing near.
