T8 - Upon arrival in Palau on 1 November, team T88WA discovered that their primary operating site had an "intractable S9 noise across all bands coming from underground cable and telephone wires running all along the island under the power poles". They surveyed six other locations, found two that could potentially work and finally were given permission "to rent some state owned land in far northern Palau" (WWL PJ77hr). They moved all of their equipment to the new site, and finally T88WA was QRV with the first station on 4 November around 12.15 UTC. The team reports that they are not completely noise free, though, as they have "a big batch of interference from 3.550 to 3.800. We'll continue to work to resolve, but may have to dodge it on 80m". QSL via M0URX, direct or preferably through his OQRS (https://www.m0urx.com/oqrs/). See qrz.com's entry for T88WA for band plan and QSLling policy.
