Big dinner in Papeete with the members of the TX7T DXpedition. They are just starting and we are on the way out. Good luck to the TX7T group.

We uploaded the logs through the end of the DXpedition to ClubLog. Some FT8 QSOs are still not there. There will be a final upload after we get home. #WeHadSomeFun #VP6R

Our plan is to take down the antennas & disassemble the stations at the remote site today. That includes three stations and 160M - 20M antennas. After the teardown operations will continue at the main site with 4 stations and 40M - 10M antennas. Final teardown starts tomorrow.

We have determined that a pirate used VP6R on 20M FT8 around 15Z on 18 Oct in Europe. We have three verified screenshots of pirate QSOs near this time. The pirate may have been active at other times as well.

We had a very successful night on 160M with over 500 contacts using FT8 last night. We have two more nights of operation on 160 & 80 meters before we must take down our antennas. We will have 24 more hours of operation on 40-10M from our base location on Pitcairn.
