Decatur County Amateur Radio Club, callsign KW4DC, was formed in 2009 by a group of amateur radio operators who wanted to promote and enjoy the amateur radio hobby together.

Operating from Banana Island, Sierra Leone (AF-037), the 9L2019 DXpedition by F6KOP and a ten-operator team used the callsign 9LY1JM from January 9-21, 2019. This detailed report covers the logistical challenges, including securing visas and licenses with local assistance from Mark 9L1YXJ and Gregory of Dalton’s Guest House. The team deployed monoband quarter-wave verticals on the beach and two Beverage on Ground (BOG) antennas for Europe/Asia and the USA, operating four stations simultaneously. Technical hurdles encountered included high tides submerging antennas, requiring repositioning, and persistent QRM between closely spaced stations, mitigated by doubling filters. CW signal irregularities at 30-32 WPM were resolved by PC and WINTEST restarts. A significant FT8 logging bug was identified and corrected with on-site software. Despite these issues, the team logged over 4,000 QSOs in the first 24 hours, averaging 5,000 QSOs daily, with a peak of over 6,000 in one day. Propagation varied, with excellent 160m conditions on January 12 yielding over 750 QSOs, and a later four-hour opening pushing the 160m total past 1,600. High bands were challenging due to low solar activity, but mid-bands provided intense pileups and rapid continent-wide contacts. The DXpedition concluded with nearly 50,000 QSOs, including a successful school QSO with Collège Doisneau de Sarralbe (57), managed by F1ULQ and F6KFT.

Visualizes real-time amateur radio propagation spots using data from the PSK Reporter MQTT stream, providing immediate situational awareness for radio operators. The platform displays spots from various modes, including CW, WSPR, and JT65, in addition to the dominant FT8 digital protocol. FT8 Live focuses exclusively on live data streams, prioritizing current signal activity over historical archiving, which differentiates it from the official PSK Reporter map. A key feature is its integration with the Summits on the Air (SOTA) API, facilitating SOTA chasing by cross-referencing transmitting callsigns with SOTA alerts; a station is identified as an activator if the spot correlates with a scheduled alert within an eight-hour window. The user interface was developed by Arron (ZL1AN), with core data from Philip Gladstone (N1DQ), and stream delivery managed by Tom Stanton (M0LTE).
