A first impression from the VK9MT crew

European DX Foundation: It was with the support of organizations, clubs, and individual DXers that VK9MT Mellish Reef was “on the air” during the period of March 30 to April 4, 2014. As you may have read, the DXpedition was impacted by Cyclone Ita, which prompted an evacuation of the reef for safety concerns.

Our 10 day goal was 80,000 QSOs and as much RTTY as possible. In 5 days we made 40,000 Qs which put us on track for the original target.

Club Log QSO summary:
– Europe 36.1%
– Asia 29.8%
– North America 29.1%
– Oceania 3.4%
– South America 1.2%
– Africa 0.4%

Consideration for the QSL card printing will happen in a very short period. We appreciate your previous pledge of support and hope that the European DX Foundation is appropriately displayed as a Foundation/Club supporter of the Mellish Reef 2014 DXpedition.

Thanks for your previous pledge of support.
