BREAKING DX NEWS: N8HS SWAINS ISLAND OPERATION GOES QRT
EARLY
The NH8S team on Swains Island is now QRT and is reported to
be in the process of tearing down their camp. This, for a
possible early departure.
Sanford Houston, K5YY, who is the DXpedition's Pilot
Station. He says that the decision to go silent before the
announced September 18th end of operations date was due to
several factors. This included bad weather conditions,
antennas that had come down, a number of operators that had
fallen ill with some wounds requiring medical care.
During its stay on Swains the NH8S team has made a total of
105,455 QSOs with 26,010 Unique callsigns. Of these 43,126
were on SSB, 54,128 on CW and 8,201 made using RTTY.
