Well, as I reported a while back, I got them on 40 with the rotatable dipole at 80 feet. Working FT4JA has been more difficult but I got them on 30 CW and RTTY.

I couldn't even print them on my Butternut HF6. I went to the 80 meter sloper at 60 feet through an external tuner and got them, after about 45 minutes. The 80 sloper does pretty well on 30 meters. I've got 239 countries with that antenna and another 30 using my 40 meter rotatable dipole with an external tuner.

The biggest problem with both the FT4 and VK0 DXpeditions has been the inconsistency of operation. They appear for about an half hour and disappear. I hope that the CY9 group spends more time on RTTY. I need Sable for #316 on RTTY.

Not much time left for VK0 and FT4.  Good luck.

73,
