Having noted that my answer to Iain's post has not appeared on the Reflector, I am trying again.

Hi Iain,

I worked V31YN in Jan 2007. Is that QSO one of the two in Clublog?

No, I don't think it is a tricky path at all, being almost entirely over
the Pacific Ocean. Your problem will not be Tx, with an antenna over sea
water, but, unless you make a special effort with Rx, you may have a
problem hearing in a noisy tropical country like V3.

Hi,

I'm off to Belize again for the commonwealth contest in March but after the event I plan to make use of the pier over seawater for top band and some 60M.

An inverted-L over seawater is planned.

On checking clublog it says there have been only TWO QSO's ever between VK/ZL and V31 on 160M.

Is this a tricky path ? I assume its because of high thunderstorm noise in the tropics.

What do think of my chances with 100W and CW & some FT8 (shock--horror!)
