I (KC2SIZ) made it a point to get into K5D's log at least once, on 20
meter SSB:

Ordinarily I don't go nuts over these DXpeditions. They're more
similar to 'contesting' than to DXing I think, and I'm definitely more
of a DXer. Still, Desecheo is a big event for amateur radio and I
wanted to be a part of it. So, I knew that, at least once, I had to
pierce the wall of QRM that's created when you have 1000 different
stations all calling at the same time! Of course, if I'd been smart
I'd have waited until the last day or two of the DXpedition, when the
number of calling stations will probably be lowest.

I figured I was most likely to get into the log on 30 meter cw or
RTTY. I'm surprised that it ended up being 20 meter sideband.
Equipment used: Icom IC-735 putting out 100 watts. Antenna was a
magnetic loop.

I once had, in the early 90's I think, an IC-735... nice little rig.
