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

Darn! I better get going on a new beverage for 140 degrees or so. I have one at 180 and another at 100 degrees, but neither is optimum.  I had a temporary one last season for the aborted Bouvet DxPedition,  but I took it down as it was in the way for mowing my field. It was only 4 ft off the

It's a Polish DXpedition sponsored by the Norwegian Polar Institute (among others). Hence the Norwegian flag t-shirts, but no Norwegians. 73, Scott N9AA On 11/17/18 1:14 PM, ab2tc wrote: Hi all, This DX-pedition must be one of the best kept secrets in town. I was able to find their web
