H44WA Update (Nov 23)
Last night's conditions on 160m were down from the previous night. Tonight's plan is to get on 160m FT8 at our sundown, then move to CW as conditions allow. Look for us on 80m and 30m as well. Before you work us again please check log at Club Log and also watch the Livestream to see your call go by when you work us. Check for up-to-the-minute spots on DX Summit. If we got your call right, please don't repeat it before sending 599 or 59.

H44WA Update (Nov 21)
Overnight 160m antenna yielded 28 CW contacts into EU and Russia and a steady flow of FT8. We plan to keep trying every day. We must rotate between 160, 80, 60. We are in operating Day 6 approaching 32,000 contacts. Op view faces north.
H44WA Update (Nov 19)
It was a successful first day on 160m but we will probably have to stick mostly with FT8 due to noise. CW is possible on 80m and we will continue 80m CW. Today we also started 60m f/h.
Going forward we will look for frequencies in the General/Advanced portion of the bands. At times we will be listening up in those bands. SSB op will announce.

H44WA Update (Nov 15)
We got our 15 bags by what seemed like divine intervention, a good story for another time. We are busy building out our antenna field and will be on the air soon.
Hexbeam is up, 2 CrankIRs are up, VDAs on the beach are being built. Tomorrow the DX Commander, 80 and 160m antennas will be built. Coax team is putting on connectors. Anxious to be on air soon!

H44WA Update (Nov 13)
The entire team arrived safely to Honiara as expected. Unfortunately fifteen pieces of luggage prepaid and checked all the way through to Honiara were never put on our connecting flight at SFO. Our trackers show they have arrived in Nadi, Fiji. Today part of the team returned to the Honiara airport to make sure the claim we filed was actually submitted so the luggage will be put on a flight for Honiara. We learned our claims were processed and Solomon Air is communicating with Fiji Airways to get our bags to us possible day after tomorrow, November 15, local. Tomorrow will be full throttle getting radials and coax ready to get on the air as soon as possible after our eleven antennas and 2 additional amplifiers arrive with everything else we are missing. Fingers crossed to make it on air before end of day November 15 local.

H44WA Update (Nov 10)
Today the team leaves from Seattle for Guadalcanal through Fiji. Many thanks are due to W7BRS, K5EM, and N1UBZ for devoting the last week to modeling and machining replacement 15m and 10m VDAs lost TWICE by UPS on their trip from California to Washington. DX Engineering came through again by emergency shipping some parts. On Wednesday, N7QT, W7BRS, and K5EM tested the finished replacements at the beach.
