YK0VK went qrt 11 April at 2026z. The last qso on 17m cw.
The team are now home. The last 3 days were extremely uncomfortable with high temperatures and extremely high humidity.
And to top it off we ran out of data on our Sim card. But hey, we were there to make radio contacts, not play Facebook or do daily log updates.
The final logs have been sent to Charles, so please, before you have kittens that you're not in the log wait for a final update.
Do not send busted or missing qso requests to the team. Pls follow the instructions on our qrz dot com page.
We had a great time. More news to follow when we unpack and catch up on sleep.
