News bulletin@Grenada… #9

Today, we encountered a problem with the borrowed transceiver (FT450D), which suddenly stopped working. We found that the supply voltage was only arriving at the transceiver with a difference of 1.6V. Upon further inspection, we were relieved to discover that a fuse had blown, and the radio was still operational... phew. Today, we had to drive 100km to the capital to pick up our "official" license. Unfortunately, the original license was not available yet, so we have to return tomorrow. The pileups are less intense, but the demand remains adequate. We can now focus more on less-served areas like VK/ZL and Japan. Although we've made good progress with Japan already, the demand remains high, especially on 80 and 160m. We also made an extra effort on 60m by being QRV in FT8. The signals were tremendous. Tomorrow will be the last day we'll be QRV on 80 and 160m...

People, if you are sure that you have worked us but you are not yet in the log... DO NOT WORK US AGAIN! We have noticed that the live log on Clublog does not always update correctly. We are aware of the issue but cannot fix it immediately. We also manually upload the log to Clublog from a PC every day to ensure that everything is logged... so please be patient and rest assured. If you still don't see yourself in the log, then send an email to Tim, MØURX... THANK YOU!
