What a great DXpedition!! I have waited 9 years to
get KH1 after missing the AH1A dxpedition. The wait
definitely paid off-this was the number 2 dxpedition
for me in terms of band/mode contacts, as I worked
them on 14 different combinations. Only TI9M had
more. It was nice to see them on PSK, and would have
liked to get them on 10 meter FM, but was never at
home for the openings.
All operators are to be congratulated on their fine
performance. The pileups were handled very well, and
the stations were easy to work from the American
Midwest.
It was also nice to see that they did not have a
pre-dxpedition "attitude" about them before they left.
One recent dxpedition published a new brief saying
that they were taking low power and simple antennas to
punish us, because we as dxers have had it too easy,
and we needed to renew our dxing skills. Believe me,
running 100 watts to a dipole or a 2 element mini yagi
has never made it easy for me. I had to use plenty of
dxing skills to pull out QSOs with K1B on 30 and 40 cw
the last couple of nights-as well as lose some sleep,
but it was worth it.
Hope they have a safe trip home, see you guys from
Tuvalu!!
