We have been working for the last year on contructing a permanent station and a new antenna system. The shack is nearly complete and we are in the process of building a 100' tower at our QTH. The new tower will include an array of SteppIR DB36 Yagis as well as wire antennas for 80m and 160m. You can see the details of our station project in our Blog.

My portable station consists of an Icom 7000 (100W), an LG Auto Tuner, a SignaLink USB Sound card and a combination of Buddipole, Buddistick, TransWorld Traveler and end-fed wire antennas. I use a MacBook Air PC runing VMware Fusion/Win7 and HRD/DM780 V5.1 for my logging and digital operations.

We have completed our operations in Bora Bora, French Polynesia as of about 00:15 UTC today. Fred (FO/AB1OC) and I (FO/AB1QB) logged a little over 1,550 QSOs while we were here. We really apreciate everything that the HAM community did to make this an extremely memorable and fun experience!

Please QSL all QSO's from my portable operations to my home QTH in Hollis, NH USA. I also confirm QSO's via LoTW (preferred), eQSL (AG) and via the Bureau system.

The following is a copy of my final logs from our Bora Bora operations:
