Arkansas DX Association members:

 

On behalf of the PJ6Y DXpedition team, I wish to express our sincere appreciation for your recent support. I am pleased to report that the trip was a resounding success. Our multinational on-island team of nine young operators experienced excellent propagation conditions and amazing pileups throughout the course of our time on Saba. Each team member was actively involved in multiple phases of the effort, including planning, equipment setup and tear-down, scheduling, station configuration, as well as diagnosing and resolving a variety of technical challenges ranging from radio malfunctions to antenna issues, one such issue requiring an overhaul of our tri-band Yagi, including rebuilding each of the six traps.

Throughout the course of our adventure, it was rewarding to watch each of the young ops as they became more comfortable working the pileups while improving their skill sets.

Our young team also mounted a serious effort in CQWW SSB, resulting in a raw score of over 13m points, finishing not too far behind some of the best North American stations.

In addition, our off-island team consisted of approximately twenty-five operators, who collectively logged roughly 20,000 QSOs representing nearly one-third of our total contact count, and were instrumental in our overall success. We look forward to some of the off-island team joining us as an on-island team member on an upcoming trip.

We are grateful for your continued support of our projects that advance amateur radio and foster the development of the next generation of DXpeditioners.
