Apart from the high level of support, the following are the highlights of
the DXpedition.



We enjoy good relations with the locals, some of whom came in to see what a
DXpedition is about.
The 6m opening to Japan between approximately 0100 and 0300 on Sunday, where
136 JAs were worked
The four moonbounce QSOs into the United States.
The 381 160m QSOs, mainly into Russia, UK, US and Japan
The professionalism of our website, and our ability to upload photographs
and logs in a timely manner
The messages of support which came to us directly on the air, via our pilot
or via our Webmaster.
Our ability to operate in the CQWW SSB Contest


The first contingent leaves the Island on Tuesday 29 October for
Christchurch, with the final contingent leaving on Wednesday for Wellington.



A big thanks to you all from the team at ZL7C
