TX7N, TX7MAS, TX100REF & TX7WW Update (Nov 14)
Final Preparations for the TX7N Team!
Last weekend, most of the TX7N team gathered for one final meeting before the big outing! It was the perfect opportunity to fine-tune all the details of this exciting expedition: receiving and distributing equipment generously provided by our sponsors, organizing luggage, finalizing flights, configuring antennas, updating computer systems, testing equipment, and even soldering PL connectors!
We also held a video conference with our on-site host, Tania, who is ensuring that everything is ready for our arrival so that the expedition runs as smoothly as possible.
A big thank you to everyone who supports this adventure! We can’t wait to share our first live contacts from the Marquesas with you!
