They stopped to pick up Mike, KH6ND, and some equipment that was left from visits by various team members earlier this year. While there they also had time for some limited operating before leaving at 03:00 UTC for the last leg to Kingman. They will arrive there during the night and will be ready to make landing at first light of day. Expect them to be qrv sometime tomorrow afternoon their time. All stations will be fully assembled before hitting the air. This also means that the one man KH6ND/KH5 Palmyra dxpedition has come to a close.
