3XY1D is QRT after 53933 QSOs. Thanks to everyone for calling us. |
| |
|
We probably will provide an Online QSL Request Service here (OQRS). Please stay tuned. |

We have achieved 50000 QSOs today. In 2002 we logged 52480 QSOs with our Guinea DXpedition 3XY7C. |
| |
|
We have had heavy thunderstorms this weekend which makes receiving on the low bands very difficult. |

|
Conditions become apparently a bit worse and the QSO rates slower. |
| |
|
We don't operate 6m anymore. It doesn't make any sense to work with a receiver without a preamplifier. |
| |
|
SSTV: we are going to operate SSTV on 24.920 or 18.105 this Saturday and Sunday because of the CQWW Contest. We are again on SSTV next Monday on 21.340 at 16:00 UTC. |

We have 34000+ QSOs in the logs now. Everything is running well except for three difficulties: very frequent power outages, high noise level on 160m and a broken preamplifier of the 6m receiver. We can copy only very strong signals on six. |
| |
|
We will not take part in the CQ WW Contest this weekend. |
| |
|
We have a added a few more pictures to our 3X Picture Gallery. |

The first 3XY1D DXpedition Pictures are online. |

We are working on the 6m RX problem. Our grid locator is IJ39eo. |

|
Electricity supply still is our #1 problem. We have power blackouts again and again. It can take an hour at nighttime until we have power again. |
| |
|
In addition to that we have had a thunder storm last night. Crashes all night long. No way to operate 80m. 30m und 40m have been better but at slower rates. |
| |
|
Update at 1730 UTC: The 6m RX seems to be deaf. We will check it out. |

We are on the air with up to four stations. |
| |
|
Our main problem here is the power supply network system. There is a ground fault circuit interrupter but it's not connected anywhere. We got a few electric shocks and stayed awake ;-) We solved at least this problem today. |
| |
|
However we can't solve all other power supply problems. There are power blackouts for 1 to 10 minutes and then power is back again. This happened 50 times in the last two days. We haven't had any damage on our equipment - so far. |
| |
|
All antennas are up except the one for 160m. We do that today. At least one more beam will be put up as well. |
| |
|
A lot has changed in Guines since we have been here the last time. Prices have increased, it's probably the most expensive DXpedition we have ever had. |

We have arrived
very late yesterday but we are fine. Clearing at the airport took a pretty long time. In addition to that, the president of Nigeria wanted to fly, too, and this caused a traffic breakdown all over the city. |
| |
|
We are trying to find good antenna places today and will begin to assemble the stations. |

Due to the good conditions on 6 meters, we will install one at 50.103 MHz beacon |
