Good luck on 80m.. I have all the CE0s on 80m but would like to work this group too, if possible. Hear him but calling is difficult with the east coast and south coastal guys 3-4 S units stronger than I… If I hear our ADXA guys calling, I try not to call as much because many need for ATNO from Juan Fernandez. I was there in 1973 and worked MANY guys on 80 and 40m but QRN was bad from a hotel generator problem which went away my last 3 days there. Was thrown in the soccer stadium “jail” my first night in CE, scared me to death. The ARC of Santiago bailed me out and I stayed at one’s QTH as /CE3..
Since our SS and SR are ABOUT the same times with XR0, there should be a pronounced peak along a near gray line path. We have 2 more weeks to get ‘er done. HI

Agree, I’m not one to judge but it seems their op has been very inconsistent. Still trying to work them on 80.

I felt this was coming! Total new XR0 QSOs added in over 4 days in today’s update were only about 400!! Many complaints on DX Summit about this from all over the DXing community, EU, AS and NA. It is obvious all thumbdrives were not accessed, since main missing Qs were on 18 and 21mc, a common denominator for one rig position or maybe 2, with one only one rig Qs being processed. 3 stations on for 4+ days and 400 QSOs total is an obvious error. You update ALL drives at the same approximate time. I have helped do that on 3-4 trips. Each station position only QRTs for 3-4 minutes for downloading data.
There are several things not done right by this group in my opinion. Not getting on RTTY/SSB more ( in 15 days!! ) is one but at least they are trying FT8 now. Not getting logs updated and only done once before the main op just got there by boat 2-3 days ago. Then this ‘very partial’ log update will likely cause a LOT more dupes than people ever thought, based on just ‘not knowing’ if they are in the log or not. But they will be there another 10-12 days their website says. Thankfully this is not a typical 7-10 day DXpedition to a semi-rare entity.
Looking at the list of ops, they have been to a couple of places in the past like EP6 and C9 but many places from Russia areas with R calls only. The SP6 op has been to a few more “known” places and one CE op has been to XR0 before. I would be afraid to donate on the front end of an operation from this group again. JMHO.
