Any chance to communicate with him and ask to try work earlier, when band in EU is open? Every time he starts, bands are dead here. Mike

They should stop Clublog. Why in heck does someone need to work the DX’pedition and try and fill every slo n every band??. I work ’em once and that’s good enough for me.

Worked Mark yesterday PM on 20m ssb but can’t be certain he got me in the log due to QSB and QRM. I heard him acknowledge my call but that’s all. I know he doesn’t like dupes, and I don’t blame him, but I have to take a chance again in the days ahead and get this ATNO in my log. Sure would be nice to be able to confirm his log on line in near real time or within a day or so in order to avoid having to attempt a dupe. Bob – KW4CQ

Fantastic team of seasoned DXers. If you need Lord Howe Island for an ATNO, you will work it! Good ops who sleep very little during DXpeditions. Look forward to working the team.

Zoran, you are so right. I have not heard/worked them on any needed band/mode yet, but this bad practice really has to stop. We, the amateur radio service, are known as self-policing, so let’s start and do it. The only problem is, that this “hams” are not interested in QSL’ing at all, so you can not “punish” them this way. But let’s see if there is way to name those “pigs”; we all know them ;-). 73 de Gary, DF2RG

MARCH 14 – Our DXpedition comes to an end. It was a nice experience on the wonderful Isla de Pascua with friendly people and warm temperatures.
