Update November 15: Grant and Rob report they are waiting for rain to stop to continue working on antennas. It’s been raining hard since they arrived. One multi-band vertical is up, and working on the second one. They built a shed for the generator. Working on RX antennas later. Grant’s radio was damaged in transit. Frame bent though – very well packed in luggage. USB connection to computer no longer works. He will not be able to run FT8 or RTTY. USB mode is good so he will still be able to do voice QSOs.
N.R. @0800z working EU on 20m via LP with good signals.
Rob N7QT and Grant KZ1W are activating H40 on Pigeon Island, next to Lomlom Island in the Santa Cruz Island chain. Operations 10 through 160m CW/SSB/FT8/RTTY. We will focus on low bands for each part of the world, and plan on “following” the Sun (i.e. Sunrise/Sunset)
We expect you to follow the DX Code of Conduct.
1. Please follow operator instructions, especially when we are calling for specific regions. We will give every region good opportunities to work us.
2. When we request NA it means both North and South America.
3. Oceania and Africa ok to call at any time.
Antennas are all verticals near the beach. DHDL receive antennas.
1KW amps + K3's. Two stations.
We've been issued two calls H40TT (Rob) & H40KT (Grant) but are hoping to operate as H40TT for both stations. If time permits, we will operating CQ WW CW as H40KT.
