[LCC] Spratly

[Don Hill AA5AU]

It has not been a very effective Dxpedition for NA, so working them on any band, let alone 160, is a great accomplishment. Rumor has
it that they forgot to bring antennas so they resorted to using wet noodles which have proven not to be very good radiators. I have
worked them on 15 CW/RTTY and 17 CW but already have it confirmed on those bands. I really need them on 10, 12 and 40 meters. This
morning I heard them for five minutes on ten meter CW on the long path.

 

I had to shut down due to a storm this morning so I took a nap which ended up being 3 hours long. When I got up a little while ago,
they were just spotted on 21011 CW so I went to see if I could hear them. I thought I went to 21011, but in my haze I apparently
went to 24891 by mistake and heard them so I spotted them. When I saw my spot, it said 24891. I looked at the radio and it said
24891 and I realized finally that I was hearing them for the first time on 12 meters. Guess what? They went QRT at that very moment.
I guess I am not worthy!

 

73, Don AA5AU

Hi Dan,
         WAY TO GO!! Has anybody ever told you that you do things the hard 
way? Nice contact, especially on top band. Keep having fun.
