Final QSO statistics

Hi Everyone,

The first QSO with FW0NAR was made on 28th of January on 24 MHz CW at 19:49 UTC with ZL1BYZ and the last one on 19th of February on 28 MHz CW at 19:49 UTC with FM5AA.

During 18 days of operation as FW0NAR (Wallis Island-OC-054) 17,872 QSOs were logged (12,152-CW, 3,045-SSB and 2,675-RTTY) with 10,620 stations (AF-1%, AS-31%, EU-25%, NA-36%, OC-5% and SA-2%) from 156 DXCC countries.

I have also made 3145 CW contacts on 40-10 meters (with a G5RV antenna and barefoot) as FW0NAR/P from Futuna Island (OC-118). The online logsearch for these operations can be found at:

I am deeply grateful to my xyl: Susanne (she has made more than 2000 RTTY and SSB contacts with FW0NAR) for her strong and continuous support all along. Joe (HA0LC) is graciously thanked for his logistical help in bringing my Wallis and Futuna project to life.

(Nyíregyháza, Hungary) is graciously acknowledged.

Special thanks to Michael (G7VJR), Brad (W6TJI) and Al (K6YRA), Zoli (HA8LNN) and Barna (HA0ER). I would also like to thank all those who included some support with their QSL request (see page at www.ha0nar.hu for the complete list).

Good Bye Wallis

Hi,

We have closed the FW0NAR operation at 20.00 UTC on 19th of February 2012. Everything is packaged and waiting for the airplane to Fiji.

By the end we have more than 21.000 QSOs (17900 with FW0NAR and 3160 with FW0NAR/P).

Thank You very much for everybody for the nice cooperation, the kind words and  having contacts with us as well as visiting our blog more than 36.000 times.

It was a great experience both of us with having nice time here and collecting memories for the whole life.

Unfortunately we have lost an HF  linear amplifier and a notebook computer. Hopefully we will have a safe trip back home.....

We will arrive next Sunday (26th of February) to Budapest.
 
Special thanks to our host Manuele Taufoniea anh his big family, especially for KH6CG, HA8LNN, HA0DU and HA0LC, W6TJI and K6YRA as well as to all our radio amateur and non ham friends all over the world.

All logs are updated and uploaded to the Clublog site for online checking.

 During the following days we will check the logs and dealing with possible problems. Answering  e-mails and sleep a lot.  .

BACK FROM FUTUNA ISLAND

Hi,

Laci has arrived back from Futuna after 3 days of continuous radio operation and he looks so tired.
We will publish some photos of this side trip soon....
He mentioned that on the local 12-seat aircraft your place is determined by your weight not only your luggage but you are also measured before departure..... :))

Please check your QSO with FW0NAR/P or with FW0NAR on clublog....
