Dear Hams (note: HaMs, not HaNs),
Please be advised that, in light of this unfortunate news, you will be
required to tune the bands on your own for the next 12 hours. Of course, packet
spotting will still be available. We apologize for this inconvenience,
particularly as the TX5C DXpedition is underway. Hopefully, you will be able to
find
the Clipperton group's transmit frequencies without too much trouble.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with finding DX on your own, I recommend
the tried and tested method of slowing tuning your radio's VFO (that's the
big knob) and listening to the beeps coming through your headset. These beeps
are often a good indicator of the callsign and location for a given DX
station and have proven to be invaluable in years past to locating new
stations to
work.
Good luck!
73 John, K1AR
PS: Pete, thanks for your support. Your efforts are giving all of us a
chance to evaluate the technology while we simultaneously determine how to
implement it in contest rules and practice.

Skimmer will be off the air today because I have to be away from home and
thunderstorms are predicted. Back on tonight.
