Dec. 1	We started to send out QSL cards. We already replyed for hundreds of direct requests by OQRS. Preview of our QSL designs are on the page of "Photos".
Nov. 23	We will be ready to send out our hard-copy QSL card(s) soon. It took us long time to print those QSL cards for VK9EC and VK9EX but those are on the way to us from EU now. Before dispatching the QSL cards, we would like to announce about our QSL cards dispatching procedures. At first, we will send out our QSL cards to those who sent us the SASE and also those requested us by OQRS. We will use Japanese postal service to send out our QSL cards. As the secnond step, we will send out our cards via the bureau, which would take some time. What we would like to say and ask you to accept is that we won't send back the stamps/IRC's, which are over the value of the stamp actually stuck on the envelope to you. We will take the excessed value of stamps/IRC's as your donation to us, thanks. This practice will apply not only to overseas stations but also to Japanese stations. We appreciate your understanding about our QSL card dispatching policy.

Aug. 14	All of us came back to Japan. We received dozens of e-mails here. As we mentioned before (Aug. 7), we will revise our log sequentially. After our post-operation meeting, We will order the QSL printing and process to upload the log to LoTW.

We will leave the island tomorrow afternoon. We will shut down the station competely at 0500Z. We received some e-mails reporting busted call(s). We will revise our log after our operation.

Aug. 2	QRT at 0530Z. See you again in Christmas Island next. We could made 2 QSOs on 160m at the last night. Propagation was terrible but much better than no QSO! Thank you. We already uploaded VK9EC's Log completely.
Aug. 1	Log Search is working properly now. Please check it. We confirmed that our luggages are already in Christmas Island. We finally prepared 160m antenna!! It is a kind of "Inverted L". Today is the final chance. Our transmitting frequency will be1826 and we will listen down 5-10.
July 31	We temporarily made antennas for 17m. 40/30/17/15m are available at the present time. We know that many hams are waiting for our QRV on 160m. But it is difficult because we cannot find enough space to set up 160m antenna. Now LOG SERACH is partly available. Please wait for the log of 17m and 30m. When you find your call sign on our LOG SEARCH, do not make duplicated QSOs, please. 17m and 30m Log has been uploaded. Please be patient until your QSO(s) appear properly.
July 29 (2014)	We are now on Cocos Island. We are all well. It is a good news. But we encountered a serious problem at Perth Int's Airport. Two tranceivers, one linear amplifier and three antennas were not loaded to our aircraft due to some reasons. We have to minimize our operation on VK9C. Any way, we started QRV on 40m and 30m yesterday. Please understand our unlucky condition.
