T32C - Five Star DXers Association - Christmas Island 2011Kiritimati - East Kiribati

I think this was the most successful DXPedition that I've ever seen. One of the goals was to exceed 150,000 QSOs. They are now above 213,000 QSOs and still counting. Another goal was to give every DXer, wherever based, a chance to contact T32. They did a great job accomplishing that goal.
They were well organized and made a huge effort in the last week to work portions of the band to accommodate Technician and General Class and the smaller 100 Watt or less stations with Dipole Antennas. I first made contact with T32C from my mobile on 10 Meters on October 5. I hadn't been on the radio much in September and was vaguely aware of the Solar Conditions so I was very surprised when I worked T32C on 60 watts from the mobile. Up until that time I was happy to work New York or Hawaii on 10 Meters.

During the middle of October I had fun working T32C at least once or twice daily. I don't use Digital Modes or JT65 yet. I worked them on all the bands I had access to on Phone and CW. I heard them on 10 Meters FM on 29.585 mhz, but I couldn't get through. I had to wait up all night two nights ago for them to come up to the General Portion of the 40 meter band. It was tricky to get them on 80 Meters phone and CW. My wife Merial, KDØHLP worked T32C as a Technician Class Station from my mobile on 10 Meters
