Hi all,
Thought this FT8WW update would be of interest to many of you.
His initial 3 week period of permission to operate has ended.
He is hoping to be granted an extension since his return flight home is not until March, so stay tuned, hopefully he will be allowed on the air again during that time.

> After 3 weeks of traffic and in forced stoppage, I think it's time to take stock.
>
> So I started the night of December 25. My authorization for HF traffic was valid for 3 weeks of traffic between my arrival at the base and January 21. So it was
> from December 25 to January 14. About 21,000 QSOs were made.
>
> I took a few decisions on purpose:
> Traffic on few bands. Only 10, 14 and 21 MHz were used with an afternoon on 18 MHz for testing. This is to concentrate my traffic and give as much contact as possible to OM. Traffic in CW and FT8, only. The remoteness of Crozet from the large ham radio populations and the inefficient propagation guided this choice. Despite what some say,
> FT8 is currently the most effective way to make QSOs in difficult conditions. Even in CW when the bands were empty, I was able, in FT8, to make contacts. I was also able to eat on a corner of the table while watching the traffic go by.
>
> I've been active in CW whenever propagation allowed, taking into account the time restrictions that the scientists imposed on me (one measure per day giving at least
> 5 hours of downtime for me and by being informed of the hours in the mornings, therefore without any real planning). If I had done SSB, I would undoubtedly have contacted the
> best equipped stations, but left out those with more limited means.
>
> I slept little to traffic at nights on 10 MHz and rested during the famous measurement.
> I faced very difficult weather conditions. 3 times I had to go down the Lévy with gusty winds exceeding 100 km/h. It was often necessary to repair in the rain, In short, alone, it was not always easy to stay as long as possible on the radio.
>
> Finally, community life has its imperatives and obligations. I do not live on a desert island, but with a group of people and some task have to be performed. Finally, the difficulty of the pile-up must also be taken into account. Certainly you had trouble making yourself heard, but here, it is not simpler, be convinced.
>
> For those who remember, at first I was only allowed to install a V-dipole against the façade of a building. You could see from the photos that in fact I have an 8m Spiderbeam mast with a two times 10m Levy and a vertical dipole currently on 21 MHz.
>
> The continuation of the project.
> I am in contact with the Paul Emile Victor Institute which manages the scientific work on the base. An analysis of the magnetism measurements is in progress. It is following this analysis that I will, I hope, have an extension for the transmission authorization.
> So I'm waiting for the decision. My departure is scheduled for the return of the boat around March 20th.
>
> I know everyone is impatient for me to continue, but I can't do anything more at the moment on HF bands, but the QO-100 activity will continue (no restrictions) These are the outlines of the current situation.
>
> Thank you to all of you which, through my manager, have shown their confidence in me.
> Thank you to everyone who spent hours looking for me and trying to reach me.
>
> Thank you all, I will try to continue to satisfy as many ham radios as possible.
