The grave of William Bligh - much maligned captain of the breadfruit-carrying Bounty, whose crew mutinied and fled to #Pitcairn #SouthPacific @GardenMuseumLDN #MuseumsUnlocked

Big dinner in Papeete with the members of the TX7T DXpedition.
They are just starting and we are on the way out.
Good luck to the TX7T group.

We uploaded the logs through the end of the DXpedition to ClubLog. Some FT8 QSOs are still not there. There will be a final upload after we get home.

Fittingly our last QSO was with our good friend and chief pilot Jerry, WB9Z.
Everything is torn down and we are in tourist mode until we sail on Sunday.

VP6R QRT at 18Z. Thanks to everyone who worked us and made this DXpedition so much fun.

An old transmitter in the radio station.

[2019 Pitcairn Island DXpedition @2019Island]

Our plan is to take down the antennas & disassemble the stations at the remote site today. That includes three stations and 160M - 20M antennas.
After the teardown operations will continue at the main site with 4 stations and 40M - 10M antennas.
Final teardown starts tomorrow.

@mm0hst Unfortunately we don't have time during the DXpedition but do contact our QSL manager after we are home. Info on https://t.co/dPsfg3zT7N

[2019 Pitcairn Island DXpedition @2019Island]

@de_w8tam Yes, if you're in ClubLog you are golden. If your FT8 QSO is near the stated time of the last QSO it might not show up until the next upload.

[2019 Pitcairn Island DXpedition @2019Island]

We have determined that a pirate used VP6R on 20M FT8 around 15Z on 18 Oct in Europe. We have three verified screenshots of pirate QSOs near this time. The pirate may have been active at other times as well.
