Conway Reef 2009 is now history. After 9 days of operation with daily blackouts from 10am to 3pm local time we put 33k QSO's into the log. A report and some pictures will added in the next few days. QSL cards will be printed soon. Perhaps it will be possible to mail out the first cards in December. If you send an IRC, please use only those with expiration date of 2013. Cards sent with an IRC that expires Dec 2009 will be answered via the bureau. Small IRC's type "C 22" are not accepted by the Post Office either.

As promised QSL's have already been mailed confirming Conway Reef QSO's with donors who made donations that were received on or before September 23, 2009.
