Default FT5ZM - QRT?

The T32C operation in October 2011 made 213,169 QSO's.

The VP6DX, Ducie Island, operation in February 2008 made 183,686 QSO's.

Again, if FT5ZM would've been able to stay another week they would have beat
VP6DX and could very well have challanged the total of T32C.

Their last QSO was at 02:20z on 2/12/14. The final total QSO count
stands
at 170,010. Impressive to say the least.


I recall hearing something about trying to hit over 180,000 Q's to beat
some
kind of DXpedition record.

From their website: "With almost 165,000 QSO's, FT5ZM is now QRT".

I think FT5ZM on Amsterdam Island has gone QRT (signed off, for those
in
Glendale), as I have seen no spots for them for a while.

They were to begin teardown on the 12th, which is certainly nearing
their
location, if not already there.

It was certainly interesting to hear them here from such a distant
spot
on the
globe.
