I believe that the following operations were counters:
9U5AV September 1980 (not sure)
4U9U around October 1994
9U5D Feb. 2000 (not sure)
Best bet would be to contact Bill Moore at the DXCC
Desk of the ARRL. He has published the list of
good/valid 9U-operations a number of times. Bill

The main frequencies for this operation are 21.020 for
CW and 21.295 for SSB twenty-four hours a day. Note,
please, that the expedition will have both fifteen
meter frequencies QRV at the same time.
Other frequencies are
14.195 for SSB and 14.020 for CW,
28.495 for SSB

Here are the set-up plans for the Ducie operation,
courtesy of JE2EHP.
There will be 5 stations (A.B.C.D and E). A and B
stations will share one tent and stations C. D and E
each will have their own tents. The team will try to
set up the A and B tent about 500 meters from the
other tents
AF2C and I just finished speaking with K9AJ aboard the
Braveheart. The vessel is due at Pitcairn tomorrow
(Thursday) morning their time and departs for Ducie
Thursday evening.
Mike estimates that the trip to Ducie will take
thirty hours which puts them at Ducie sometime
Saturday.
Best
1. They decided that they will basically use 40m
Inverted V
for 40m and 75m.
2. They will try to utilize the 80/160m vertical which
VP8 team has left in the Braveheart for Ducie team.
3. They are asking all the stations on SSB to call
with a
full callsign, NOT BY LAST TWO LETTERS.
They left Pitcairn at 01:00Z on Mar.15.
So they should reach Ducie around 07:00Z
on Mar.16(SAT).
Kan said that it would not take long before
they start QRVing on 14.195MHz after they
arrive on the island.

1. All the antennas for 14, 21,28, and 18/24 have been
already set up.
2. Operators from Pitcairn are now ready to start
operating mostly on CW
on 18/24.
3. Low band antennas and 6m antennas will be put up
tomorrow by local
time.
Operating schedules are not yet sure for those
bands yet.

The Ducie team is still plugging away on 15m SSB and
CW with a great deal of activity on 12m SSB and CW.
Good News:
1. RTTY should begin VERY SOON. Possibly early
Saturday (UTC) on 2Øm.
2. 2Ø m SSB activity is presently active.
3. A 8Ø/16Øm antenna is presently being assembled and

1. The Ducie Team remains very active on 1Ø, 12, and
15m. The pileup remain large on 15m.
2. 16Ø , 8Øm and RTTY - No promises PERIOD. They
simply don't know at this time. If you hear them, then
they are up.
3. 17m - Look for VP6DI on both CW and SSB early
today, Sunday (UTC)
4.
Operator N9TK (VP6DI) reports:
The vertical antenna intended for use on 160 and 80 is
giving the operators trouble.. They are trying to
repair it, but it is unlikely that operation on 160
will occur 24 March UTC.
The operators are planning to use an inverted Vee on
75/80 tonight. This is

The 15 meter phone operator on Ducie, apparently
having had enough of the refusal of Europeans to
allow him to work the station he called, closed down.

He returned later, called for U.S., South American

stand by. He again
Nope...And KK5DO's website mentions nothing in the

According to Kan, JA1BK the complete log of the Ducie
opertation should appear on-line within the next few
days.
The problem appears to be that one of the computers
was not set to UTC time and Kan is apparently having
the correction made to compensate for the error.
Again, be patient.
Are you wondering where all the logs went from VP6DI
or why the URL is down? The answer, according to
JA1BK is as follows:
Apparently a hacker managed to get into the website
and steal all the data. The site will be down
temporarily.
This DOES NOT mean that actual logs are gone...Only
