All, It clearly shows that having a dedicated topband operator gives the result. I have enjoyed reading Dietmars update here on the reflector, and I am very much agreeing with him on what is a good QSO or not. 2045 CW Q`s and 1271 Q`s on FT8 is a good number. I personally don’t use FT8 private, but I have used it on expeditions to try maximizing topband Q`s. I was lucky to get 4W8X as a new one on TB after about 5-6 days. Shortly after I traveled in South America and Caribbean so was not able to follow Georgs`s K8R attempt on TB. New projects are slowly developing and will have focus on TB 😊
