With over 106K QSOs in the log, and spending approximately 4 hours on the island tidying up after QRT, the team departed Jarvis Island at 0230z today (August 21). Video by team member, Don N1DG.

At 17:00 UTC the team is headed to the island to begin the teardown. The first thing to go is the link to the island so full QRT at once. The team thanks you all for the QSOs. "It was a blast”, they say. A full recap to follow after they get back from the island clean and some sleep.

N5J has been able to work EA & CT stations on 160m FT8 & CW last few days. Keep an eye on 1828.5 from 0445 to 0530z.

In response to the requests to run normal Fox Hound mode because some stations are having difficulty with the SuperFox mode, effective 00:00 UTC 16 August we will convert one of the two WSJT-X stations to the old Fox Hound method.
We ask all stations who already worked us in the digi band mode to let those people still needed a digital QSO to work us. Check Club Log if you are unsure.
We will still have another station in Superfox mode. We hope this allows more stations to make it into the log on digi or even an ATNO.

The low band antenna with anti bird strike tape @ N5J. Over 900 QSOs on 160m so far. On 6m, Japan, Fiji, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Hawaii & Norfolk Island in the log.

N5J has completed 6 days of operating. The log shows over 63,000 QSOs despite some really terrible conditions. Are you still having trouble working the Superfox? Many Hounds are still chasing us on Superfox using RC5. PSK Reporter shows versions. We looked today at the spots. Of 7500 reports 1500 were still using RC5. They are NOT in the log. Please update your software. Poor conditions also chop up the Fox signal. We will operate some F/H on one of the 2 FT8 stations this coming weekend.
