some 4W8X team members were unhappy with topband results and with continuous bad propagation the pressure to me to accept working FT8 has been getting immense. We had a serious discussion about so I gave up finally and let the daemon out of the box of Pandora.

7O8AD 7O8AE Socotra Island Yemen News 12 November 2023
Yemen DXpedition 2023 Update: Ken 7O8AD reports, “We’re in good spirit and approaching 50k QSOs. I have decided not to do more 160m. The counterpoise for 160m is now in the main camp. It is being used for the 80m antenna. I might figure out the 30m interaction issue tomorrow and then perhaps use the 80m pole.
The stay here in Yemen has exceeded all my expetactions. I’m not thinking of the radio stuff but of the island and the people. This is a very nice location. More and more tourists are arriving here. One Russian tourist came this week and another is comming in January. Spare parts are difficult to find. The hospitality is great and we have had a very good stay here. Tourism is increasing. This is very good for the island. Still facilities are not what we might be used to. There is of course a lack of infrastructure.”
