TX7W - Austral Isl.


TX7W Update (May 08)


I have completed updating the logs and have done a new upload to Clublog. I have uploaded the updated full log to lotw. This is a free full log upload, no charge to you for lotw. We are designing a nice QSL card and will place an order soon. For a paper QSL card, use Clublog OQRS, or send it direct to K5WE with SASE and/or funds for postage. Tnx again for the QSOs and your support… 73 de Jeff K5WE



TX7W Update (May 06)


We made it home around midnight Friday night after an exhausting trip. I am working on the logs. It appears there may be many duplicate QSOs logged by FT8/FT4. I am working to remove those dupes and will upload a good log to clublog and lotw when the update is complete. 73 de Jeff K5WE .



TX7W Update (May 01)


Good afternoon from Papette, Tahiti, French Polynesia from the TX7W team, Jeff K5WE and Craig W5CCP. We left Raivavae at 9 AM local this morning. We will spend one night here in Papette, then fly home to Tulsa on United via San Francisco and Denver, arriving about 8 PM Friday evening Tulsa time…First of all, I would like to thank all our sponsors and donors.


Your support has been terrific and of great benefit to us.The next item I want to mention is our lack of reliable internet. The wireless from the resort was unusable from our bungalows. We gave the little store across the road $50 to use their wireless connection. It was very marginable. Only one of my computers would connect. I could not do an update to the dxpedition website. We could not do Livestream. We attempted to do daily uploads to clublog. This involved copying and then uploading as many as six files from the different computers. It often took several attempts to get the files uploaded. Sometimes it took an hour or two to do the daily uploads… So, a lot of our plans regarding reporting our activities to you via internet did not happen.We had many antenna and other issues to resolve. I will get into more detail about all that later. Our primary focus was putting QSOs in the log.


Clublog shows a little more than 60K QSOs in 14 days by the two operators Jeff and Craig… The number may be slightly less than that after I review the logs and remove some dupes. Regardless, we are happy with the total…I will do more updates to this website and write a DXpedition story after returning home and as time permits… QSL cards will be ordered and QSLing will begin as soon as we get them…A big thank you to all the deserving DXers out there for all the QSOs. We hope we put on a good show… Hope to CU from the next one… More website text and photo updates later…


73 & Gud DX,

TX7W Update (Mar 07)


Preparations are progressing nicely for our operation from TX7W – Austral Islands. Hardcopy license has been received. Accommodations and airline reservations have been completed and paid. Radios, amplifiers, and computers have been acquired, software configured. Gear and antennas are being tested. We plan to have 4 stations on the air when possible with a nice compliment of antennas. Austral is currently #59 on the Clublog Most Wanted List. Many thanks to our corporate, club, and individual supporters. Your donations are appreciated! CU soon from TX7W… 73 de Jeff – K5WE & Craig – W5CCP. For more info go to: https://k5we.com/tx7w/
