VP6DB is one of the operators on the Ducie expedition (look at the webpage and the list of operators: http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/vp6ops.htm )...perhaps there's just a mix-up in the way he logged things? Especially if you worked him during the time they were to be on Ducie. With this one, it seems that anything is possible and "most" rules are tossed out. =) 73, Bridget, KS4YT
