If I can work Costa Rica with my dipole maybe I stand a chance to work Cocos Island. I hope I hope. What bands so they plan to operate and how long will they be there?

True enough Jonathan, but at least you can't rotate your house to the wrong direction. Cocos Island is near enough that you should be able to work them, but a directional antenna and or amplifier is always nice. I am without a good directional antenna these days, but if the rain will hold off for a while I may be able to fix that.

I just want to point that that, for some of us, adjusting the antenna involves rotating the house.
