Equipment on Rodrigues

Remember those big signals from 9M0C and D68C?

They were from Yaesu FT-1000 transceivers (MP at 9M0C and MkV at D68C), coupled in both cases to Yaesu VL-1000 amplifiers.

On both DXpeditions, all the Yaesu equipment performed flawlessly, despite round-the-clock operation in extremes of temperature and humidity. That’s a total of over 230,000 QSOs without a single failure.

That’s reliability!
