With all due respect, Mike, these things are within your control and the
DXpedition should not be held responsible for you not being able to work
them. You'll find DXing way more fun when you upgrade (although K1N DID look
for Generals on some bands). With regards to 60m, many operators there find
a way to load their existing 80/160m antennas. At least one guy who worked
them on that band uses what he calls a Bird Feeder -- which is in no way
resonant on 60m.
