[SFDXA] E30FB QRT

[W4QN]

A hand key does not necessarily mean a "straight key", it could just mean not hitting the F2 button on a computer, or it may be a Vibroplex, or a Bengali keying the radios internal keyer.

"Hand Keys?" - Bill W2CQ

E30FB went QRT at 0900 UTC on Tuesday. The team is now in Istanbul about 
to make their final travels home.

We are very happy that we were able to make approximately 62,500 
contacts and to provide an ATNO for many DXers around the world. The 
E30FB team really enjoyed bringing you this rare activation of Eritrea.

Murphy was a constant companion on this DXpedition and impacted our 
antennas and computers. We beat Murphy back each time with skill and 
determination. You will be surprised to know that almost all CW was sent 
by hand keys.

Our QSL Manager is Tim-M0URX. If you wish to donate to help us offset 
our very high air cargo costs, you may donate via PayPal to
