I saw them flash by as well.. and I saw several other eham'ers. I could hear them pretty well on 30m working alot of 1's, 2's and 3's. They have started to fade but had a workable signal for a long while. That is promising if it keeps up.. it will just be a matter of time.

Edit: I'll be up for a few hours with work tonight.. if they happen to get something up on 20m.. voacap shows good prop at this hour. They are now well below esp levels on 30m...

That DXA page is neat! Reminds me of that I2YSB team who has the live logs online during their expeditions. Completely eliminates the need for dupes of any sort.

As of 0500z they're still audible and easily workable on 30 to a rotatable dipole. Just saw Krish in the 30m log. Congrats OM!

Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until I reach Top of the Honor Roll

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

Managed to work them on 30M just now with a building signal.

The DXA app is working well but a little slowly, so don't freak out if your Q takes
more than a minute to show up.

The Big Surprise is that my contact showed up in LOTW very quickly after I updated my log.

Great use of technology !

I've been making adjustments to the auto-lotw feature this evening, and it's been fun watching all the familiar eham calls roll past.  Almost every batch has at least one or two.

I can't actually hear them yet, but I only need VK0/H on 80, 12, and 10, plus RTTY.  So I may just sit out for a few days and watch the fun.  It's exciting to be sort-of on the other side for once.   :)

I may have duped on 30m cw, weak, static, and I never heard the "tu" the first qso.

I gave DXA 20 minutes to update after the first one, still doesn't seem to be updating as of 06:06z, 8 minutes past the second.

No, I'm not going for 3, #2 was solid.

From about 0530Z DXA is locked showing 1459 QSOs, the last of which were with PP5AM and W6RF. But I can hear him completing QSOs. Problem his end or mine?  -- Ken W7NUW

It's the same here so I think it's their end.

Regarding LOTW mentioned earlier, I looked at their QSL tab on the website:

Everyone who orders a souvenir and/or makes a donation to VKØEK prior to March 15, 2016 (whether from the Order Page or otherwise), will get their QSO’s uploaded to Logbook of the World (LOTW) during the DXpedition. Your printed QSL Card will also be queued in the first batches. This is our Express QSL Service to thank you for your support.

I think I have him, but not 100%  until I see it on screen.

Not a bad signal here in ZL, you want to hear the pileup, its nuts.

came up to 5/5 on 30m on my 40m loop i cant work 30m but my elmer with his 100 watts and 80m dipole (tuned to 30m) got through that made me nearly as happy as me working them. DX03 is not working :(
it would be handy if they upload logs to club log once a day as a back up.

I didn't get home from work until about 20 min after they QRT on 30 m!

This was most likely a long path to VK, as I could not hear them at all on short path this morning on 30 m.

I'm home tomorrow. Last Good Friday, I bagged PQ0T. It may be my Lucky Day!

DQRM was plentyfull last night on 40m CW....Someone constantly sending UP LID or QSY LID...Oh well the children will play. Question though, how did they get the ATV off the Braveheart to the island. Does the ATV swim.....

Info for guys debugging DXA3:

I worked VK0EK at 0408 on 30M. At time DXA3 seemed to be working in fits and starts but was not matching the QSO's I was hearing on the air.

A different station (xxFLS) worked them about 0413. xxFLS did show up in DXA3 but nearly an hour later with wrong timestamp. It was very suspicious because several dozen QSO's showed up on DXA3 all with wrong timestamp.

I never saw my call scroll by in DXA3.

VK0EK's Last upload to LOTW was at 0531Z and I didn't get a match, so maybe it's time to dupe VK0EK. Or maybe I was in the upload and the timestamp was far enough off that I don't get a match and I should wait till after DXpedition to get resolved?

There was a slim on 30M CW frequency saying "EU UP 5" but that wasn't the guy I worked :-)

That must be a dang impressive mountain range blocking EU from current site. VK0EK's signals were fine and other than that slim there was not much deliberate QRM I heard on 30M.

Thanks - please use the Contact Us link - which opens a support ticket. This way Pete, W6OP gets the information in one place.

I also have a very good idea on what we can do to "allay all fears" about DXA. Here it is:

Too much garbage on the cluster spots so I'm using the DXA to figure out what band they are on.  However I haven't seen the DXA QSO counter move since I woke up this AM.  I'm not sure if the DXA is showing accurate info. or not.  Lastly I don't recall seeing my callsign scroll by when I worked them on 30m last night, but my callsign shows up in the log lookup.  I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem.  Did anyone see my callsign scroll by last night?
