Hi David, Best of luck with getting up a good receiving antenna for the expedition. Is that one for 20m which is probably the most likely the best chance for getting this ATNO? When the Peter I Island (in the same general area) expedition was out there, I could hear nothing but a whisper from them (and as the saying goes, if you can't hear'em you can't work'em, and sure enough I didn't), but I do have better antennas now for points south. I kind of reckon that if I can't hear them with my regular transmitting antennas, they won't hear me with my 100W on the same antennas either. So I have never bothered with erecting special receiving antennas. I don't have the acreage for it either. But I am crossing my fingers that this DX-pedition will succeed (and be heard up here with no exceptional receiving antennas).
