There is certainly no "arm chair" copy of these guys and the pileups are just mad. Prepare to spend some time if you really want to work them. I have 5 contacts with them and every one took hours of careful hunting. I doubt I could be able to do this without second receiver. They use very wide split, even on CW, I have feeling they use some kind of pan adaptors. I am glad and proud we have among us those nutty enthusiasts that are ready to spend so much time and money to drug themselves and truckload of equipment to peace of rock in a middle of nowhere just so we can get another box checked in DXCC table and have so much fun doing it. 73.

The pictures shows just one vertical antenna up on the rocks, not an ideal arrangement even if they have lots of radials. Is that all they have? I see they do run some power so that should not be the problem. Propagation has been disappointing the last couple of weeks.
