Of course, one needs to hear them first, work them second, manage to get a
QSL card third, and wait for a determination from DXCC HQ fourth. Apparently they (DX0K) are on Pagasa Island in the Kalayaan Group. This island is also called Thitu Island - probably by the Chinese. A good estimate for the coordinates is: 11 degrees 3 minutes North; 114 degrees 17 seconds East. It may be the only island of the large number of islands collectively called Spratley to have a real fixed-wing landing strip. The island's WX station is important to the main islands as an early warning post. It appears to be more than 350 kM from the closest main island. So far, the group appear to get off of work at about 1130Z and stay on the air about 4 hours. Best time in Michigan for 40 Meters is 1100 to 1200Z; then 10 MHz is best for about an hour. From about 2300 to 2400 14 MHz and 18 MHz would be usable, but they seem to be in bed at those times. Please do post when you hear them. 73 Mac N8TT -- J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A. Home: "9V1GO" wrote in message ... Does anyone know the DXCC status of the DX0 operation from the Philippine Spratleys? They have a good signal on the low bands and I hope they are good enough for Newington. 73 Bob 9V1GO |
