[ADXA] Mud on Minami Torishima

[Dennis Schaefer]

Pat,

It’s a shame you were gallivanting around with the Navy when I did KA1DX for a week in 1972.  There was a full-time JD1 station at the Japanese weather station across the way.  KA1MI was the comm officer at the Coast Guard station and was pretty active.   I planned to go to Iwo Jima before I left Japan but got sent home early due to my dad’s illness.   

We went by Air America C-46 to Marcus.  

73,
Dennis

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.
