[ADXA] V6D is winding down

Our DXpedition is slowly coming to an end. On Monday afternoon local time, we will dismantle the beam and the large vertical antenna. The other antennas will remain in place for a few more hours.
Unfortunately, Murphy was on board this time. The beam and the fifth station were missing for the entire first week, and in the second week, the sun caused radio conditions to Europe and the USA on the higher bands at distances of over 10,000 km to come to a virtual standstill for a few days.
The internet was mostly readily available and the 120 V power supply was quite stable throughout. The Rachel Beach Resort was well equipped with spacious rooms, kitchenettes, showers, and balconies. The resort was also quite suitable for propagation, being located directly on the sea, and we are grateful for the opportunity to set up antennas and conduct a radio expedition from here. Weather-wise, we had pleasant temperatures, around 29 degrees Celsius during the day and at night, but also heavy rain and wind.
With a total of over 90,000 QSOs from more than 160 DXCC areas and over 20,000 unique stations, we are very satisfied with the result. On Tuesday, we will return via Guam and Tokyo. After our arrival in Germany, the log will be checked for accuracy and a final version will be made available on Club Log for the OQRS. Our sponsors will then receive their LoTW confirmation shortly. The QSL cards should be printed in about four weeks, and then our QSL manager will begin shipping them according to priority. Generous sponsors will receive a small photo book, which should be available in early December.
Thank you from our team of nine to everyone who supported us and worked with us.
