Had fun working Arnie last night as he was racking up the Q’s as FO5A/MM. Super signal into the Wichita area. Also worked him again under our contest club call as W0ICT after I had turned the power down to 2 watts on my IC-7000. Still managed to get through the small pileup on 20 SSB. Looks like there’s going to be a pipeline from Wichita to Clipperton again. FO0AAA was fairly easy, and I hope I can get you guys on 160 meters now that I have a working antenna for that band.
Safe journey and I look forward to working TX5C in a few days.

WAYNE,
IT WAS WONDERFUL TO TALK TO SOMEONE FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA ON A DXPODITION! YOUR SIGNAL WAS CLEAR AND CRISP HERE IN OSGOOD, IN.. NEVER EXPECTED TO HEAR ANYONE FROM AROUND HERE THERE! I LIKED YOUR REPORT OF 5X9 FOR ME. SOUNDS LIKE MY WIRE DIPOLE IS WORKING WELL! I HAVE A 3 ELEMENT BEAM TO GO UP SOON . BEST OF LUCK, AND I HOPE YOU MAKE A MILLION QSOs. THE ISLAND LOOKS A LITTLE BARE. LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO FISH, PLENTY OF WATER! I WILL BE TELLING ALL THE HAMS AROUND HERE ABOUT YOU GUYS. EVERYONE WILL WANT TO TALK TO YOU ON THE ISLAND.

Hello ALL! This is my first time working Clipperton Atoll, and I am very excited to work this dedicated group of hams who bring me the chance to add a new one to my DXCC totals. I have enjoyed working FO5A/MM and feel my minimalist station should have no problem working you all. I hope everyone gets a chance to work TX5C and may TX5C far surpass their QSO Goals… 73, webmaster @ Magnolia DX Association. Jimmy KB5FSV

Hi, what is your DX frequencies?
March 5, 2008 at 6:22 pm
What an excellent “2nd course” of DX right after Ducie Island. Fewer days and more distractions (sand, coral, crabs, rats) will probably yield fewer QSOs, but I still wish you all the best, and hope you reach your goal of 100,000 QSOs.
Now for a “3rd course” to finish off this DX “meal”. Scarborough Reef? Johnston Island? Bouvet Island? Raoul Island? Satawan Atoll? Bikini Atoll? In my opinion, it doesn’t even have to be a DXCC entity. I’d just like to work it.
March 5, 2008 at 8:46 pm
I wish you all the best of success for the upcoming endeavour and look forward to working you.
March 5, 2008 at 8:49 pm

Congratulations on reaching Clipperton and setting up so quickly. From Larkspur, CA 20 Miles North of San Francisco, I heard you all 5/8 last weekend, while you were still MM on Shogun. My base setup is not optimal w. 706MKIIG and HamStick vertical dipole off my apt. deck. Regardless, I hope to work you all on 20M in the next few days. Stay cool down there and drink lots of water. 73 de W6JGB

What happened? No update on the site, and no activity on the various DX clusters. I see winds from 11 to 18mph today, and some slightly “annoying” weather, plus a bunch of thunderstorm activity this entire next week. Are you all OK? Scrapping it due to Monday the only clear day? Is someone seriously ill? Or has it been scrapped due to the weather? Been waiting for this since a Ducie Island contact confirmed I can actually reach the Pacific with this “less than desirable” setup.
