KINGMAN REEF DXpedition Announcement

For immediate release.

Kingman Reef 2000 Update

Well the team is back in Hawaii and should be reaching their homes in the next day or so.

I will have the logs in a few days and will announce when they are posted to the web site.

I did get some preliminary numbers from Tom today.

Total QSOs around 80,600.

Some highlights:

Europe: 20% (15827)

CW: 49.0%

SSB: 49.4%

RTTY: 1.6%

160: 947 Q

6M: 899 Q

RTTY: 1333 Q

Full numbers will be out later this week.

73 K5K will stay on the air until 16:00 UTC 31 October.

In a few hours (at their sunset, 04:00 UTC) they will take down the 17, 12 and 10 meter antennas.

The last 12 hours or so they will operate 15, 20, 40 and 80 (both modes on each band).

4 stations will be operational during their night.

Pileups are very thin and right now they are CQ-ing on 12 and 15 with few takers.
