I will suspend activities on this account. Many thanks to the admins of mastodon.radio and all who engaged in the discussions with me.

I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.

the thing where they fix a bug and push an update without dropping the ongoing call is still really cool to me

The two QSOs with E51D have been confirmed, so I'm happy about it. :)

This page is still one of my favorites after being caught in shortwave DXing for 21 years:

I will keep the callsign withheld, but I've observed a station with a DXCC Honor Roll callsign, presumably in Tokyo, kept failing to call back the response packets from E51D, on 20m FT8 yesterday (24-AUG-2023 06Z-08Z). I wonder why such a station could fail to respond to the answers from the DX station.

Fact check on DX Cluster:
the callsign "JA7TEP" has no license record in Japan's radio station database by the telecom ministry as of 23-AUG-2023. Ignore the remarks regarding the fake callsign.

So far, I've made two FT8 QSOs (20m and 15m) with E51D at Penrhyn Atoll, North Cook Islands, according to the JTDX log file here. I am hoping the DXpedition team would upload the tentative log data to Club Log ASAP, but I'll wait.
I've already confirmed North Cook for DXCC on CW 40m~10m, so I would be happy if I could add a Digital DXCC entity confirmed.
