[Mldxcc] FT4TA - West Coast Pilot Update #5 - Last 10-12 Hours

[John Miller]

My Last Update:

ClubLog
Today the team got in touch via sat-phone to inform us they do not have internet access anymore on the island.  The logs are safe, but no more uploads will take place until they return to Mayotte on Monday.  They have made nearly 70,000 QSOs. 

On-Air Activity - Focus on 30M and 40M
No more 80/160 activity will take place. They are currently on 10M CW, 15M RTTY, and 12M SSB.  The focus tonight is 30M and 40M.  

DX Spots
I certainly hope by now that you've got them in your Log at least once.  If not, keep your eye on the DX spotting networks today.  Here's one.

http://www.dxsummit.fi/Search.aspx

Type FT4TA into the Search string.  MODE = ALL.  Band = ALL.  Click Search.

Busted QSOs -- Two Options
If you think they've busted your call during a QSO, please follow these instructions:
After the DXpedition, please send a note to the Team Leader via this form.  http://www.tromelin2014.com/en/contact-us/
Give them all the QSO details, especially Date, Time, Band, Mode.  They will correct the busted call in their log, and re-upload it to ClubLog + LOTW so your QSO will match theirs in both places.

As another option, you can also email  FT4TA at cdxc.org  for help.

Departure
Later today they may be off air for 1 or 2 hours as they start to disassemble to get ready for their departure on Monday morning (0900 local).  Estimated QRT Time is 0100Z on Monday = 5:00 PM today on the West Coast.

It's been a pleasure.
