[Mldxcc] PT0S - One more thought

[John Miller]

Bob:

I've worked them on 8 band-modes using about 700 watts.

80M CW  @  0700 UTC
40M CW  @  0800 UTC
40M SSB  @ 0330 UTC
30M CW  @  0330 UTC
17M CW  @  2300 UTC
15M CW  @  1850 UTC
15M SSB  @  2350 UTC
10M SSB  @  1900 UTC

Note the UTC times.  Best bet could be late in the evening/early morning on 40M and 80M CW, when the pileups are smaller.

The SSB contacts on 10M and 15M were both this afternoon.  The 4 operators are very good but they have been facing some very challenging environmental conditions on St. Paul.  The crashing waves, salt water and strong winds have played havoc with all of their antennas.

In many ways, PT0S has been more difficult than the HK0NA DXpedition to Malpelo.

Watch the DX clusters.  This one's very good:  dxfor.me

I believe Thursday is their last day -- so don't give up.

In a situation like that, operating from the equator from a fairly rare location, we really don't know what it's like on their end.  I'm not one to criticize dxpedition operators unless it is really warranted.
