Malpelo Island DXpedition QRT
By the time you read this, the HK0NA
DXpedition should be QRT (QRTed at 1647z, Feb. 5th). They were
expected to dismantle the last four stations mid-day on Sunday and planned
for a sunset departure on the boat back to Buenaventura.
The DXpedition
team expected to break the record set by VP6DX of 183,686 QSOs by a
comfortable margin at the end of their operation.
As of print time, the
final comments by the HK0NA team state that they have worked over 190k
QSO.
The HK0NA log shows (per ClubLOG dated Feb. 5th, at 1646z):
192089 Total
QSOs and 43176 with Unique Calls.
Mode breakdown: 85229/CW, 90775/SSB and
16082/RTTY.
Continent breakdown: 1554/AF, 6/ANT, 14207/AS, 78909/EU,
89088/NA, 1480/OC and 6845/SA.
Remember, QSL cards will be available
four ways:
OQRS DIRECT
DIRECT MAIL W/SASE/GS/IRC(s)
OQRS BUREAU
QSL BUREAU
Use only ONE of the above ways to save them a lot of extra work.
Should
you choose to QSL directly to N2OO via direct mail, send your QSO information and SASE/GS/IRC(s) to:
Bob Schenck, N2OO, QSL Manager for HK0NA,
PO Box 345, Tuckerton, NJ 08087-0345, USA.
The DXpedition team intends
to upload the HK0NA log to "Logbook of the World" (LoTW) about 6 months
after the conclusion of the DXpedition.
