Please do not send screenshots unless requested, and never send your log files, spreadsheets or screenshots of your log, they are of no use to researching a problem. Tim M0URX

For those who have not yet reported a Not in Log problem, please use the form on OQRS QSO entry page. Responding to individual e-mails is time consuming and non productive.

Due to the Covid-19 situation I have been asked to report to work 7 days per week, for a 10 hour shift. I will continue to process QSL confirmations and research issues as time allows, please be patient.

– LoTW processing is up to date. All donor LoTW records were uploaded. Current OQRS LoTW uploads are processed daily. – The VP8PJ QSL cards are being designed by the team.

– 731 Not in Log requests have been investigated & answered, the few that remain will be completed this week. For a DX-pedition with 83,500+ QSOs & 20,500 unique call signs in the log this is a very small number, it indicates the DX-pedition team’s attention to logging accuracy.

From QSL Manager Tim M0URX – We are approaching 6,000 requests for QSL cards, Direct and Bureau.

"The Intrepid-DX Group is pleased to announce the recipients of the annual “Intrepid Spirit Award”. This year’s award goes to the Perseverance DX Group’s VP8PJ South Orkney Island team for their superb activation from Signy Island."

@SouthOrkneyDX update March 9: We're making good time, currently about 2.5 days travel to Punta Arenas remain. Everyone is catching up on their sleep & resting in their bunks. The sea conditions are as we expected.

As reported, there has been an update to the log.

It has been raining most of the day with cold gusty winds. We are all very tired! Everyone will sleep well aboard the Braveheart tonight. VP8PJ Team
