End of CXpedition! On the last day we changed twice the feed (helps
slimming), starting with 70 cm. We worked OE9ERC and G4YTL. Later in the
evening after having changed back from 23 cm JT experiments, our last QSO
was with Grant, VE6TA, pushing our scores on that band to 30 QSO,
25 initials in 17 countries. VE6TA was also the last to switch off the
light on 13 cm yesterday. On 23 cm we completed 5 JT65C contacts today with
RD3DA, UT5JCW (random), PA3DZL, G4DZU (random) and OH3MCK (random). We saw
other stations calling, while still in progress with our takers. This
sacrificed the sked with VE7BBG, who was unfortunately burried under
other stations, although we were specifically calling him very sorry
for that. In total we made 143 CW-QSO, 4 SSB-QSO and 6 JT-contacts,
which includes 104 initials in CW and 6 in JT. Compared to 79 initials
during last year TF-DXpedition (94 total QSO's), we were able to improve
our score another time. Thanks to all, who were looking for us off the
rock, sorry for those we missed. It was once again a splendid experience
for us, even more as we made new friends in Uruguay and got a lot of
support from local hams. Hopefully we were successful in infecting a
few of them with the contagious virus of moonbouncing. Uruguay is a very
interesting place to visit, ideal for EME, as it is flat like a pancake,
but sometimes gum trees are a bit obsolete. Monika even discovered an
area with a large quantity of Notocactus and Cereus (thanks heaven...)
The locallly produced wine is excellent, especially the Tannat is
well-suited to make you survive the night, even in a bedroom with only
11. See you from another rare location??? 73 / 88 de M & M

locator (tnx hint of EA7TN) - it was IM66XG. Hermann is now on the
way back to his home in DL. Most QSLs for the QSO was send out from
