[ADXA] Mud on Minami Torishima

[patw5vy]

Ron, interesting story.   I recently read an article that outlined use of
new Metal-organic Frameworks to capture Lithium from the discharge of the
oil/gas well fracking process.

Back to DXing.....JD1/M Minami-Tori-Shima/Marcus Island is one I need and
I've never heard anyone there.  It's #26 on the current ClubLog list.
JD8NQJ  goes there occasionally on work assignments.  I think he is there
now but don't think he has been active.  Civilians are restricted from the
Island execpt got the Meteorological Agency.  Probably would make it
difficult to stage a DXpedition. Wikipedia has good info on history.

If anyone has any hints on snagging JD1/M please share!

73,
Pat,
