“This 2018 4B4B REVILLAGIGEDO IS Dxpedition to Socorro I is formed again by XE1B Mark who is very well experienced and know for his interest and willing to put again Revillagigedo on the air once more.
Please support the Dxpedition, it’s been 7 years, since the last operation took place by XE1B, Marl. It’s been a long wait …” ????

Strange operation (called “DXPEDITION” only by the author himself).

Before asking for money, it may be necessary to prove that efforts are being made.
This guy don’t know that Europe exists, or maybe he is not interested in contacting Europe?
Whenever I heard it (very weakly) on 20m, he only contacted the US or SA (next doors) and ASKED NOTHING ELSE even if only to try.

I am very curious to see logs and especially statistics by continents for this one month activation called DXpedition …

“Et, pourquoi cette rédaction n’est pas aussi en langue française ?”

Just because DX WORLD is a site for everyone in the world (so in English which is the international language).

If you want French language, go to a site only in French:

…..Et, pourquoi cette rédaction n’est pas aussi en langue française ?
….après tout ça ne regarde pas UNIQUEMENT que les anglophones….
Personnellement je comprend le sens du texte mais pas intégralement.

3C0W like all other DXpeditions before are located on the North side of the island while the main path to OC is via South and blocked by a mountain. When on Saturday we finally had a long path opening from 3C0W to OC on 40m we were hopeful to get some attention by the team. Unfortunately that was not the case and they progressed working EU and NA even so one ZL finally made it into the log, only for 3C0W to QSY just before our sunset when the peak propagation would be.
Like most of the DXpeditions to Africa this one is again a big frustration for Oceania HAMs.
May be the criteria should not be who works the most total QSO’s but who gives the most ATNO’s to the community.

Please, please, please, Run a wire dipole or two from that bell tower to the pine tree or one of the light posts in the pictures and some long haul DX might actually be able to hear you. Those spider beams and 2 element yagis at 4m up are doing a great job of heating the ionosphere directly above the QTH. Now I know why signals are so weak. You’ve got a fantastic sky hook sitting right there! Why don’t you use it? Contrary to that, the Low band antenna look like an excellent installation there. Well done with those, very nicely done.

Good luck, TJ, 3C, 3C0, TY, TN are all very, very, very rare in this part of the world. Appreciate the effort and cost the team has undertaken but pacific DX will have absolutely no hope with 10m-20m antennas mounted at that height. Reminds me of the Navassa dxpedition with beams that were inaudible, but a piece of wire strung from that lighthouse at S9plus20dB (seemed to be used at start and end of dxpedition only).
