XT2MD - Burkina Faso

XT2MD Update (Nov 10)

The countdown has begun, with the 160m, 80m, and 6m antennas now out of service.

For the rest of the night, there will be one station on CW and two on FT8 (60m and 30m).

We expect to be QRT around 0400 UTC.

Our team has achieved 75,000 QSOs, despite 3 full days off the air due to issues beyond our control.

Thank you for your continued support!
