Best evidence of the success of this operation is that they are working
most of NA on 160M, including me on Friday morning. From my QTH, that is
11,360 miles. For W0, it's another 1,000 miles or so (and approximately
the antipode)
.
This is a VERY well run Expedition. Great overall management, great
techically, great operators. They are studying (and carefully observing)
propagation, and putting their stations on bands, and pointing antennas
to directions, that give the greatest number of hams a new country.
FT5ZM is the other side of the world from NA, but they are putting Qs in
the log on the most difficult bands, 80 and 160, by working the east
coast around 00-02Z, and the west coast 13-16Z.

And they are just getting started -- as I understand it, they have
several more weeks on the island!

Unfortunately for us, they only have several more days, not weeks, Jim. :-)

Good luck to all who continue to pursue them!

Re: Elecraft in action at FT5ZM

Quoting from their webpage,

"The return sail to Fremantle is also estimated at 9 days. The team
anticipates being back in Fremantle by February 23, 2014."

If they are still on that schedule (and I've seen nothing to suggest
otherwise), they will be there for about 10 more days.

Jim,

Their landing permission allowed them 18 days on the island, they
will have roughly one more week before they need to disassemble
their stations to be off the island within their allotted time.

Maybe this will clear things up a little. And it seems 10 days from
yesterday was the more accurate figure:

They have good ears.
