My space in the binary world…
Was actually waiting to see if K1N should come in on CW a last time before they leave Navassa Island, but seems to be NIL.
But enjoyed working NØJ – Mariana Island and the special event station from the TINIAN Hot Pepper Festival. Must be something with the “hot pepper” because the signal was really burning a path through the atmosphere. 599+40 signals and a really good operator.
Getting closer to QRT from K1N, Navassa Island. The team will go QRT early morning on the 15th of February. To now they have almost 120.000 Q’s in the log 🙂
Still some confusion about the 3YØF/Bouvet Island expeditions in 2015/2016.
Looks like two expeditions for the moment:
The plan indicates a 12 team members with 6 sets of equipment during 2 weeks. Initial operators list: UN7PCZ, SM5AQD, LA7GIA, PY2PT. Preliminary window is from 17 December 2015 to 10 January 2016. The team have an offer from Elecraft about the loaning of six sets of K3+KPA500. In addition, 80% out of all antennas for 3Y0F have been made.
This is a “one man expedition”, still uncertainty about funding and dates.
If this one takes off, it will probably be in 2016.
