epilogue Sint Maarten/St Martin
Dnes 2. 11. 2015, 13:53:50


Yesterday, the Sint Maarten/ St Martin team dismantled the
PJ7/PE1L station. Today we will fly home and we will arrive
the day after. Within one hour the Antenna system was down
and finally we could use our dreamhouse for its intended
purpose, relaxing at the pool. While swimming around we
discussed the pro and cons of the expedition and going QRV
from two different countrys. Even new places were discussed. 
In the afternoon we took a short sightseeing tour around
the island by car and we got rid of the rocks we used to
weight down the tripods. Some of the team members fell
asleep, two weeks with not more then 2 or 3 hours a day
sleep takes his toll.

Total results for the PJ7 trip are: 
215 inits on 144 MHz (two moonpasses)
27 inits on 432 MHz (one moonpass)
58 inits on 1296 MHz
14 inits at 2320 MHz (with very high qrm from wifi and GSM)
We made CW QSO's on each band except 2320MHz.
WAC in one moonpass at 144 MHZ.

Total results for the TO2EME trip are: 
346 inits on 144 MHz (two moonpasses).
24 inits on 432 MHz (one moonpass)
73 inits on 1296 MHz
20 inits at 2320 MHz
We made CW QSO's on each band.

Ending up with 777 unique inits per station per band per country.
