They were coming in well last night on 80m, but I got to the party a little late. 2 minutes into calling them on FT8, they went QSY/QRT.

They appeared next on 160m CW, and was able to work them after a few minutes.

I just got an unsolicited email confirming that my 6M QSO is in the log!

While I stepped out for a Dr appt today I see a couple of decodes for the first time on 6m while I was there. I'll keep watch (not sure how much longer they'll be on the air.. today is their last day I believe).

i thought sure i had them on 80m CW but log updates turn up zilch  :(

yesterday i found N0FB in the CY0S log so i am i think that's my call misheard... I need just 2 more countries on 80m for 8 bands DXCC LoTW, and really hoped to get Sable I... using 100 watts and a wire for all of it hasn't come easy  :D

seeing they were scheduled only thru March 30th, last night i made up my mind to try first thing this morning on 80m.  Got really lucky and woke up just before 3am (07:00z) and was able to get them pretty easily.  Now i see i'm IN their log for 80m.  phew! :)

And now you know why I only needed Sable on 10m this go around... I could never work previous DXpeditions to Sable from NC on 10m. But I got'em now!!!  :D  GL!!!
Congrats on snagging them on 10m! I see they are on 10m SSB right now, but still not even a whisper of a signal here unfortunately.

I'm closer than you, Mason, and I got a 10 meter QSO which I needed for a new band.  I struck out on 12 and 17 meters, though.

I see all my QSOs in the last upload, including a 40M FT4 contact last night.  Missed them on 12M but got them on all the other bands that count for DXCC Challenge points.

This one was tough from out west!  I ended up with 18 slots.  I never did get 80M and one of my 40M ssb qso's was NIL.  I worked them in the simplex pileup during the contest.  What a mess.  He seemed to call the guys who interrupted and the guys saying their calls 40 times....
Great effort from the team and everyone had a shot.

If this was hard for you how many slots would you work on a easy one, 30 or 40  :o

However many their on?  I've spent most my ham radio life working entities once per mode, so I need band fills almost everywhere.  I enjoy checking off the green boxes and adding slots to my totals.  It keeps me motivated to be on the air between ATNO's. 
9X5RU has been far easier to work a similar amount of slots with FAR less time involved.  It seemed that almost every slot was a pile up that took time to navigate for this one where 9X5 was far faster to work through.  I have a relatively small station and am not typically a loud voice on the bands.

I made 13Qs on 9 bands.  5 modes. Four DXCC Challenge points,
I think my 2nd highest slot total was K1N, when I worked Navassa on 11 bands with 11 contacts.

I'm not sure if I'm overachieving or slumming it here.  Rcently I did 22 slots on HD8M, 17 slots on 3B7M, and 30 slots on TN8K.

I try to keep it to the minimum amount of slots / modes needed for dxcc/challenge. If I don't need a particular band / mode for an entity - I'll skip it. My time is somewhat limited between work / family & other obligations so I just try to work only what I need.

I did manage 3 new dxcc challenge slots for CY0S. A few bands I'm too close for the skip zone so I never heard them with the antennas I have. I did listen a lot for 6m. I didn't get any decodes til the last day and even then it was only 2 decodes (I did try calling that day but no luck... that would be fun to activate during 6m E season!). I was happy that 160m was one of the added bands!

Nice operation, thanks to the team!

But watch out the eHam Kilocycle Kops will remind you how you cost some undeserving schmuck his little pistol Q's.
