Our @8R2024 project has recently concluded. To revive it, check out our report and photo album. 🇬🇾 8r-2024.com/2024/05/11/the… A big kudos to all our supporters for their massive involvement. It would have not been possible without YOU ALL! Where do we go next? 😆 #DXPedition

#8R7X - Guyana 2024 QSL Card preview. The card design is shown below. We are offering a 4 sided (folded) card for direct requests and a single two sided card for bureau requests. Our QSL Manager #M0OXO expects to mail them in early May. m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch…

The #8R7X #QSL cards were ordered via our manager #M0OXO some days ago. They are expected to arrive in the UK soon. Please finalize your QSL requests with Charles now. He takes your inquiries via his bespoken #OQRS at m0oxo.com/oqrs/ 🇬🇾 All QSOs are also on #LOTW.

Parts of team #8R7X met to follow up on all their equipment. Furthermore, all laptops were synced again and we were able to retrieve and upload around 200 missing QSOs. If you are still missing any contacts, please reach out to our QSL Manager #M0OXO.

All #8R7X team members and their respective equipment made it back to Europe. We will keep you updated on the further progress as this was not the very end of this #DXPedition. Meanwhile, many thanks to all involved for making our trip to #Guyana a big success! 🇬🇾

Team #8R7X is still stuck at #GEO in #Guyana. There was no problem with checking all their luggage pieces. Though, their flight #AA1512 is already delayed by around 5 hours. 🇬🇾 The team is in good spirits and eagerly awaiting their departure back towards #MIA 🇺🇲

#8R7X - Guyana 2024 is history! The team has just left their QTH towards Georgetown where they'll meet with local supporters of this #DXPedition. 🇬🇾 Final log available asap due to missing #CQ160SSB QSOs + possible log syncing issues. TNX support ... where do we go next? 🤪

#8R7X just hit 70.000 QSOs. We will keep stations on the air until tomorrow +/- 0600 UTC. So if you didn't work us yet, now is the time! 🇬🇾 Meanwhile, parts of the team are busy with logistics sorting and packing roughly 350 kg of equipment. L-R: @M0SDV, @dj4mx, @DK6SP, HA8RT

Most of the antennas are down and packed again. Specific antennas for 160 - 6m are still up and running. The team was able to reschedule transportation for their departure, so they can spend more time on the air. New QRT time is set to upcoming Sunday, 25th Feb, +/- 0600 UTC.

Team #8R7X is currently busy to dismantle most of their antennas and stations. Though, we will still be active on the bands in various modes throughout the day. The plan is to close the log in around 24h including QSOs within the #CQ160SSB contest among others.

60.000 QSOs in our #8R7X log! Keep calling 🤪🇬🇾

Team #8R7X is facing a power cut and running on the generator again. Thus, a little interference can be expected on lowbands. Also, we have passed the 50.000 QSO mark today. Let's see where we can get the number until our QRT. Thanks to all for keeping the pileups alive! 🇬🇾

The power could be restored at our QTH and we are back on mains. Team #8R7X is currently preparing for #ARRLCW contest over the weekend. They'll enter M/2 category. These QSOs will be uploaded only after the weekend. The remaining stations will work on other bands and modes.

We are happy for every message received via the contact form. In case of any problems with your QSO(s) DO NOT use this form or email. #M0OXO #OQRS uses a "Missing QSO" button, to report any mistake. This button can be found from here: m0oxo.com/oqrs/logsearch… Thanks in advance!

@QuirkyQRP @DK6SP Unfortunately, the generator is anchored at the property. Also, it's grounded with the house. We will try ferrites in the morning.

@8R2024 @DK6SP Can you move the generator further away, improve its grounding, and add some ferrite onto the cables next to the generator? If you can do all three it might help a little.

#LOWBAND #UPDATE We are facing a local power cut and running on generator power. Unfortunately, this produces lots of QRM for us. Hopefully we'll be back to mains shortly with less noise. Also, we were not able to build our RX antennas as planned. We'll source a solution asap.
