I tried to get them a few minutes ago, but I don't think they could "hear" me.

I'm trying, but no joy.

I have a -16 decode, but the propagation gods are not pleased with me to grant a contact.

Good to know.

I've had problems over the past year or so getting overseas mail for some damned reason.

The Post Office has given me the lame excuse that customs can hold mail for up to 90 days.

An Italian QSL manager sent me a card three different times and finally after 3 tries I got it.

(Yes, I 'tipped' him for his effort.)

I made two contacts with the new Super Fox FT8 mode N5J is using, so download and install the latest version of WSJT-X before chasing them on digital.

Once we move from Summer to Fall in the Northern Hemisphere, 10m will be on fire if the SFI stays above 200.

He is also good at confirming via QRZ, LoTW and ClubLog, but he only uploads on the first day of each month.  I got him on 30m FT8 last week and he confirmed yesterday morning (Sep 1) and that was the last one I needed for my QRZ Master of Radio Communications - Asia award.   I also have him on 12 and 17m FT8.

He sure is; my LotW confirmation came though on 9/1.  
Bonus: he has a US-based QSL Manager, so for the cost of a stamped, self-addressed envelope, I can get his card.

6O3T - Somalia

Update

Copy/Paste

We apologize for the silence in our communications.

Given the very dangerous circumstances, in which the entire team found itself, we decided to wait until we arrived in safe territory, to send the information that everyone was waiting for, and obviously to anticipate the return, in agreement also with the institutional contacts we had.

Obviously the operations were cancelled, the whole team is in good health, although mentally very stressed by the definitely traumatic experience that happened to us, although all precautions had been implemented.

When you travel the world, the unexpected is just around the corner !!!

The team now, is on its way to Europe.

As soon as each operator has arrived home, it will be our pleasure/duty to share with the whole ham radio community, our terrible experience in a land where no one is in charge, but at the same time everyone has a say.

We thank everyone for your messages of support.

The Italian hams were lucky that they weren’t killed or taken hostage.

I wonder if their ham gear was seized before leaving that turd of a country?

The last update (probably at least a week before this one) indicated that their gear was stuck in Customs. I doubt they ever received it at all, and I'd be surprised if they ever get it back.
