is a Yaesu FT-2000 into a directive Multiband and Inverted V dipole. For
now the QSL is only via LoTW. All information to receive a QSL card
will be published very soon on QRZ.com. The log is also uploaded to
ClubLog. LAST MINUTE UPDATE (Per QRZ.com): Paul states, "ZD9KN log will
be uploaded in its entirety to LoTW within 1 year from the end of the
DXpedition. The information for the QSL will be published after the end
of the DXpedition. The QSL card is via my QSL Manager IZ0UIM or LoTW.
The internet connection is not very good unfortunately, so there may be
delays in response." Paul recommends that you check his log before sending
a QSL card because there are PIRATES using his callsign. There was a
report of a PIRATE on Sunday morning, August 19th, at 0955z.
