Default Desecheo Island - K5D

dxAce,

I can see your point about working them as opposed to just receving them.
However, it's another spot on the earth that's rare when it comes to radio
transmissions. Places like Desecheo, Peter 1st Island, Heard Island, Baker
& Howland Island serve no purpose to place a radio transmitters, shortwave,
mediumwave, or whatever, basically because these locations are not
inhabited. That's why the hams activate these locations because they count
as a DXCC entity. There have also been a few instances where a SWL
submitted a list of calls he heard being worked by the DX station and that
list clarified and confirmed that one of the stations he heard was indeed
worked. The DX station had miscopied the call. Chaulk one up for the SWL
helping out!

dxAce,

Don't forget to log a few QSOs and submit them for a nice QSL card.


Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not so much into collecting amateur
radio
QSL's.

Now, if I had a transmitter, and actually worked them I'd be interested.

Still, nice to have heard them, and as Glenn Hauser has suggested, it
might be
interesting to have these DXpeditions get the necessary clearance to put
up a
low power SWBC outlet at these sites and put new SWBC countries on the
air.

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical
Institute.
They've hired at least one individual who once claimed to have a PhD, and
who
knows, there may be more.
