Well, I've been wondering when the final 14 hours 30 minutes of logs would
show up, then I noticed this... So, it may be after the 6 day boat journey
until Clublog is updated...

>From Clublog:
Due to tidal conditions we had to put all efforts into evacuating the
island. Final log upload will be done after return to Fiji. 73

  KH1/KH7Z Baker Island is now history. It was a fun one to follow along
with. The digital FT8 DXpedition mode was something new. I think it is here
to stay. My last QSO was at 10:32Z on the last day, just an hour and a half
before they quit, on 80 meters FT8 for band/slot number 18. Looks like they
will have close to 70K total QSO's, a respectable total. From the current
stats, 41.9% were with Asia, 17.8% were with Europe, and 36.3% were with NA.

Mode Breakdown:
CW   30355   47%
FT8  15289   24%
SSB  17864   28%
RY    926     1%
Total 64434 (Up to 7/4 @ 21:30Z)

  I find it interesting that, in this day of computer programmed digital
modes and no-code licenses, the old reliable CW still accounted for 47% of
the total QSO's.

  Hope everyone had fun. I did... CU on the bands...

73 & Gud DX,
