Two weeks ago we received the QSL cards from the printers.
We have processed all requests for QSL cards received to date. The response has been enormous.
We have checked about 7000 QSOs, for the 1500 requests we have issued 2600 QSL cards. Of these, 1000 requests were sent by post.
Please remember that the post is not always delivered very quickly. So please wait a moment before asking for your QSL card.
Last year, for example, a letter to the USA took 4 weeks to arrive.
It would be nice if those who receive their cards could send a short message. This is just to get an idea of the delivery times of the letters.
Friday, October 20, 2023
All received mails regarding missing QSOs are processed. We are currently working on the design of the QSL card.
This will be printed in the next weeks.
The OQRS is now active.
We will inform here when the mailing of the QSL cards begins.
The upload of the complete log to the LoTW will be done within 6 months after the end of the DXpedition. Please refrain from requests for individual uploads to LoTW. Since we are all still on the job, this means additional time for us, time that would be lost elsewhere.
Thanks to all for the numerous calls from TX6D. We hope you enjoyed the activity as much as we did.

The team arrived exhausted in Berlin and Frankfurt early Tuesday morning. After an overnight stay in Berlin, 2 team members continued their journey. The luggage arrived completely in Berlin and Frankfurt. After the long journey we have to recover a bit and overcome the time difference of 12 hours between Tahiti and Germany.
