[ADXA] Marquesas Operation Update

[HamOP]

OK on that thought Joel. I do NOT get Bernie’s DAILY news, just the Weekly. So I trust what Bernie says he got as information from Didier. Just a bit complicated on using a non DXCC Marquesas prefix currently being used on all recently activated Marquesas by the licensing authorities. 

Heck, the guy has a French call, so guess he can operate FO/ to include ALL French possessions in that part of the Pacific..  Maybe a clarification can come from Bill FUV.. I bow to what he says, especially concerning DXCC prefixes and rules..

You're asking me a question above my pay grade. Beats me. I'm just reporting what Bernie had in his DX news this morning that Didier is already on Marquesas ahead of the team and is on. The FO/F6BCW callsign was a quick comment by me so just file it under FAKE NEWS.....all I know is Didier is supposed to be there.

Did know Didier would be using an FO/ call from TX7-0 land.. I know Marquesas is a French possession and a DXCC entity based on the "rules", but in the past FO0 was applied initially until the TX7 etc prefixes started being used. Shouldn't he be TX7/F6BCW. What am I missing here? FO is a separate country than TX, right?  And why is he not using TX7T? Maybe not a team member per se...  Signing FO/ just does NOT distinguish exactly where he is then, Fren. Polynesia or Marquesas or Austral I assume..

Didier, F6BCW, is there as FO/F6BCW. He arrived ahead of the team so the FO/F6BCW spot should have been a good one.

    Then the information you gave earlier about them being on 7mc CW must have been a pirate. I checked DX Summit at the time of your last post and did NOT find a spot about 7mc CW. Maybe the site you got that info on is not that accurate.... I would stick to DX Summit if you could, a lot more accurate.
   I just got a TEXT from Bill and they were still on the plane, landing soon.. I see no other DX Summit spot of valid information of them being on the air. So will just stand by for now.. hi

Bill, W5SJ reports this morning that they are on the plane and should be in the Marquesas by about 16:00 our time and have something on the air by 12:00Z tomorrow.
