> G'Day Topbanders,

> The PT0S DXpedition is scheduled to sail for St. Peter and 
> St. Paul Rocks the evening of Nov 05 (maybe early Nov 06 
> because of weather). We expect to arrive on the rocks the 
> morning of Nov 09. The first to go up will be the 160 m 
> station, which we hope to get on the air that evening.
> 
> Our plan is to TX somewhere around 1816.5 kHz and listen 
> up 2 to 5 for EU/NA, and between 1822 and 1825 for JA-s. 
> PT0S will be very challanging for JA-s (and other Asian 
> stations) on 160. They will have to work through a very 
> long path, close to the Auroral region, and over (really, 
> under) much stronger EU signals. To give the JA-s a 
> chance, EU and NA stations please do not call us between 
> 1822 and 1825. Your consideration will be much 
> appreciated.

> We will be located on the main rock, called Belmonte,

> various scientific equipment. We are planning to build two 
> remote RX antennas on one of the remote rocks (called 
> Cabral) and run the coax and control cables under water. 
> These RX antennas should be up by the 11th or 12th of 
> November. We hope they will improve our ability to copy 
> weak signals.
