Years ago, I used to enjoy listening to the hams on |Pitcairn who were very active, especially on 20 meters. Unfortunately, they don't seems to bother anymore, and it's been years since I've heard them, nor aware of anyone else who has heard them. I think they've gone over to satellite for their leisure time/communication (they used to have regular nets for messages, etc)....Walt
