DXpedition to Tonga

Whilst the team is struggling noise on all bands and does not receive the helping hand from propagation life goes on…. Pictures prooving this are now at the picture tab of this website

Yesterday brought another 2000 QSOs in the log:

12,855 QSOs logged between 2018-11-16 07:49Z and 2018-11-23 00:26Z

Today we did some antenna work. We repaired the bad swr on 30m. We placed the 40m antenna on the beach away from the noise source. So hopefully we have a better reception. Because of a short of coax we have to share 17m and 40m coax. On all bands, especially on the low bands, noise is killing us. Also the radar or another source on 60m is terrible. 73 Ronald

The clublog logs were updated again this morning:

9,688 QSOs logged between 2018-11-16 07:49Z and 2018-11-21 04:44Z

 

First night on 160m looks promissing. Also Western Europe signals were heard in FT8 on 160m until 30 minutes after sunrise.
