They will be
uploading logs daily to the searchable VP6D online log and OQRS... They will NOT be

early donors and six months later for the entire

VP6D DXpediton NOTES: UPDATE - Oct 31 2018 : With over 120,000 QSO's logged - VP6D is now QRT! Congratulations to the entire team for a very well run DXpedition!UPDATE - Oct 23 2018 : Very professional op on Ducie Island.The VP6D team is going full steam now with over 23,000 QSO's logged. UPDATE - Oct 20 2018 : The Ducie team is on-the-air and making QSO's. There were a few minor glitches with the online logging application but it all seems to be working great now ... including LOTW uploads while they are on the island! UPDATE - Oct 19 2018 : The Braveheart, along with the VP6D team, have arrived at Ducie safely! Unloading, setup and maybe QRV tonight or tomorrow? UPDATE: Oct 18 2018 : VP6D/MM is now active, with a great signal, while underway to Ducie Island. Check the clusters (links - LH side of this page) for active spots...Dirk (W9OSI) even broke the pileup with QRP from SW Illinois... UPDATE: Oct 16 2018 : Follow the "Braveheart" to Ducie! The Garmin sponsored "follow the ship" link has been turned on - here's the link: https://share.garmin.com/vp6d Ducie Island (OC-182 and twenty one on Clublog's "most wanted" list) will be active soon! This will be an ATNO for many of us and the only chance at Ducie for some time to come. This DXpedition has contracted the Braveheart, a veteran of several previous DXpeditions, to get them safely to and from the island. They will also be operating a maritime mobile station while under way. A few things to remember: 1) They will NOT be using Clublog but they WILL have an online log that they plan on uploading to daily. 2) Early donors to the VP6D DXpedition will get their QSL via LOTW while the team is still on the island! The rest of the log will be uploaded to LOTW six months after the expedition is over. 3) They will have an OQRS on their website but not on Clublog. They will also be QSL'ing direct and via the bureau. For complete info visit their detailed QSL policy page here... The
Braveheart will be the VP6D DXpedition Ship
