Comment on 3C0W & 3C3W – Annobon & Eq. Guinea by Holger, ZL3IO

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.
