We arrived safely at Saipan in QK25 this afternoon; the "hook" (anchor) has been dropped after almost a month underway. Here are the numbers for the voyage:

I made 951 QSOs from 62 grids in 12 different grid fields.

Of those QSOs, 285 were made using SSB, 161 with FM, and 505 on CW.

11 satellites were used for 152 passes in which QSOs were made. I was on an additional 31 passes in which no QSOs were made.

RS-44 was by far the hardest satellite for me to use, but even so 423 contacts (44%) were logged over that one. Also, AO-91 held up well enough to produce 146 contacts (15%) by itself.

All logs have been uploaded to LOTW. I'm still working on QSO fills.

I'll be on from our anchorage while we're here over the next month. But although we're close to shore, operating from the ship does not carry DXCC credit, so I'll take the gear ashore and operate as ND9M/KHØ as it's been several years since anyone's been on satellite from the island.

'Nuff for now. Thanks for riding along! 73/Jim, ND9M
