VK9DWX - Willis Island DX-pedition 2008 is history.
News #13 - 30.10.2008
We closed the log with more than 95.000 QSOs (that’s our first merger of all logs except the VK9DWX/mm qsos during the voyage). A great adventure full of unforgettable moments and sweet memories lays behind us. We enjoyed a beautiful time of ham radio operation and are very happy of being able to serve so many hams around the world with a new one or at least with new and additional bandpoints for the DXCC.
We enjoyed nice and trusty fellowship within our team. Our two rookies Josh, W4WJF, and Rhy, ZS6DXB turned out to be a real surprise for us: They not only slipped into the team very easily but they also shouldered the operating burden in amazingly good performance, they became a valuable support for the DXpedition.

QSLing
We already received over 1800 direct QSLs and over 3500 online requests through the OQRS. The design for our QSL card is in progress. We expect to get the QSL cards from the printer before X-mas. The first direct cards should be sent at the turn of the year.
We again want to encourage you to use our Online QSL Request System if you have not already done it. It’s a lot less work for us and you will get your QSL card much faster. If you have already donated but not entered your data in the online form you may do it now to get your QSL directly to your address.
