Yesterday, our main focus was on the computer systems, network infrastructure and the configuration of the Elecraft K3 transceivers.

The following items were completed or updated:

* CAT control and communication with the Elecraft K3 radios
* Configuration and testing of the Bose headsets with the K3 transceivers
* Review and update of the DXLog configuration
* Firmware updates of the SPE linear amplifiers
* Network driver updates on the station computers
* Integration and communication between MSHV, the radios and the logging environment

The next step will be a complete RF test of the entire station setup. All stations will be operated simultaneously to check for possible mutual interference, RF feedback, networking issues and interaction between the different operating positions.

Once these final tests have been completed successfully, the complete station equipment can be packed and prepared for transport to Guinea.

Step by step, the 3X4U station is getting ready!

The 3X4U team proudly supports and promotes the DX Pedition Trophy, an exciting initiative that encourages radio amateurs worldwide to chase DXpeditions across multiple bands and modes.

Together, we keep the spirit of DXing alive and promote DXpedition activity around the world.

Today was a productive day. Almost all the cases — 35 in total — have been packed with the necessary equipment for the DXpedition. All transmitting and receiving antennas, coaxial cables, filters, and stubs have been packed.

Only a few small items still need to be packed. The complete test setup for all stations has been connected, but it has not yet been fully tested.

Here is the latest update on Franky’s suitcase, ON7RU! 3X4U has already been added on it.

Six identical computers are being set up by Filip, ON4FF. We will use DXLog in a networked environment. Club Log Live will once again be enabled, provided the internet connection in Guinea allows it.

Patrick, ON4HIL, has already tested and prepared several antennas to take along.
