They did not disappoint! I worked them on all the bands I have an antenna that can be "persuaded" to work, and for the past 2 days I have been working them on FT4, if they call CQ for long periods of time.

Didn't try, only need them on 6 and 160 and never heard them on either band.
They did have excellent signals on all other bands.

Frank KG6N -- thanks for reactivating the 9X5RU thread.  Worked them on 7 different band slots (10-12-15-17-20-30-40), 6 with FTx and once with CW.
TU RUDXT for yet another fine DXpedition.  -- 73 Jim K6OK

Easily worked them on 10 and 20 ssb and cw from the pac northwest. 

For me 20 and 10 were the only bands that  I had antennas for until today when I collected enough parts to build a 15/12 DUAL band moxy antenna.

This was a very good expedition and their signals especially on 10 ssb were extremely strong on the west coast for hours at a time, this Dxpedition was almost as good for me as FT8WW on Crozet was.

I'm done chasing, I'm not holding my breath on 60 or 80 at this point.  I ended up with 24 slots.  I had 1 slot worked/confirmed for this entity.
Never heard out west of 60 or 80m in any mode.
I'll say, where I worked them, they had great signals and I never much time.  I think on 40 or 30 ft8, one of them took 1/2 an hour.
Great job fellas!

I worked them on 3 bands using 25 watts and an end fed wire up 15 feet. They were great operators. Ran the piles well. Smooth. Quick. Organized. Only due to their being on lots of bands and lots of modes and literally 24-7 did a guy like me have a shot at them. A rare treat for a small shooter like me!

Worked them as #150 on 50 MHz. :) It's great that RUDXT started to enjoy 6 meters this time from 9X after TY and 5V.

They were quite loud on 15m SSB yesterday afternoon; worked them after just a couple of calls.

Got them on 10m which filled one slot I was missing for 9X. Would've loved to work them on 60m, but every time they were on I couldn't hear them.

I praise the 9X5RU operators. They well handled the pile-ups on FT-8 using the Fox-Hound feature of software. I have kudos, too, for the hounds who rarely blindly called 9X5RU on its transmit frequency. Those behaviours helped me to worked them on all bands.

Thank you, all!

30m FT8 which was a band fill and 17m phone which was a new phone country for me.

At the height of this one they were logging 13,000-14,000 a day!  Wow.  Great effort.
