It was received with a 599+60db signal in Paris at 14.00 UTC on poor antennas, that's why FO/F8DQL was reported to be a pirate by French DXers [425DXN 575]. However the genuine F8DQL *did* visit his parents in Tahiti and *did* operate as FO/F8DQL on 20, 15 and 10 metres CW. Complete documentation, logbook included, is being sent to the DXCC Manager. [TNX F5NQL] H44A ---> This is the National Disaster Council station operating from Honiara (Solomon Islands). "The station is only a training station", The Daily DX reports, "and does not QSL because of funding problems and its emphasis on teaching new operators the basics of Amateur Radio for emergency preparedness". K1B ---> The Baker Island operation logged 95127 QSOs (CW/SSB 89898, RTTY 4708, PSK 446, SSTV 75), which according to Hrane, YT1AD is the "all times record for operation from uninhabited island with no facilities, and powered by generators".
