The TX5K DXpedition continues to add another element of excitement to amateur radio operating at present. Their DXA site provides great feedback on there operations as well as the tally of band slots worked!

I'm going OK so far!

What an amazing shot of Lance W7GJ on Clipperton Is operating 6m EME as TX5K

What was also most remarkable, was that Lance had to completely fund his activation, and establish the station himself. First station on air at TX5K was this one... and first contacts completed were from this one. A first for sure when 6m leads the DXpedition. Well done Lance!

Patience paid off... 'heard' Lance W7GJ as TX5K off the moon this evening.

 

Hearing is one thing... completing is another!

TEP condx this afternoon have been sensational, with two distinct openings observed. Strong 49.750 video carriers have been back in with both Russian (R1) and Chinese (C1) video offsets seen.

Observing the 1,500km scatter path between VK4CZ and FK8CP is a consistent, almost daily event. Whilst there is some variability in the path (as is expected), the consistency is what continues to fascinate me.

Here's Remi FK8CP this morning, with enhancements to the path that had signals up to RST539.

The 'Warbler' has just increased in signal... path improving!

The TEP path between VK4 and JA is well established. The 'Warbler' TV Video from near Vladivostok 49.750MHz was first logged at 0424z, and is still a good signal.

JA2IGY and JE7YNQ beacons are also still very audible, with a few JA stations being heard on 50.110 CQn.
