An update from James Brooks received at 0300 local our time this morning where he attempted to provide us insight on the overall situation and ended it with:    "It's just that hard"   

It is now day 3 on Scarborough with operations going for 48 hours.
 
All 4 operating positions are built and the team has gone from survival in route, to survival while building, to survival while in QSO mode.
 
Everyone on the team has cuts from the coral.  The closest access to any of the rocks is over coral and no one has been spared coral 
scrapes and cuts.  Add to that over 100 degree heat and sunburn and you have a dangerous environment for all.
 
During the day each shift is 6 hours in heat and a dry wind under a small umbrella.  If you are lucky enough you get to operate at 
night.  You are left on a rock for 13 hours barely 4 feet above the water in pitch black sitting in a folding chair, no where to walk 
and stretch and getting a constant salt spray.  You can't see the other rocks nor the ship and if something goes wrong there is no 
chance of rescue.
 
The steppIR verticals and one Yagi are up.  Two stations will stay on 20 mtrs while the other two will search 15, 17, 30 and 40 for 
openings.
 
So as you sit there in your comfy shack complaining on the cluster and sending us emails about your lack of a QSO and the do's and don'ts'', think what our team is going through to bring you "the chance of a QSO". 
 
Here is just a sampling of our fan mail received today:
 
"fIVE YEARS PLAnning you did a shitty job we cant hear you on the east coast you shoud have gotton info from n8s they did a great job at least you heard them you guys keep working ja's and w6's thats all your going to get the east coast i guess is off limmits you wount get any donation from me or any one else on the east coast you guys are the worst go to 11 meters you might have better lush"
 
GL and we wish you the best in the upcoming days.

Just an observation...

When we made our contribution, it was not to guarantee a  contact or a 
card - it was to promote the opportunity.  It is hard to imagine being in 
the environment described by James.  While it doesn't compare, even when I 
was sitting in FG for the contest, it was VERY DIFFERENT that sitting at 
home.  So I am sensitive to what they are trying to do.

I am not throwing rocks.  I was there for a while this morning to hear 
them come up on 20 CW.  At 7:30am they were a clean S8.  I heard several 
club members there calling and I hope they worked them.  I did not.  I was 
amazed at how the pileup moved.  When I started listening they were at 
14.032 - when I had to pull the plug they were at 14.065 and still going! 
Tomorrow's another day.  I will try again.  Maybe I will catch them on 
40M.

The police are incredible.  But I have to say that this morning it was 
humorous to listen to the police that were weaker than BS7H!  But the 
constant UP UP UP and name calling was troubling.

What is difficult is to understand what is really happening.  N8S had a 
SAT phone so they could update the world with the plan.  That appears to 
be difficult for the BS7H group.  While I was on this morning I watched 
spots that said they only had 2 stations up.  That the 40M was a pirate. 
That no one could hear them.  The pile was obvious.  That 80M would never 
happen.  (There was even a spot yesterday that said that W0FLS was the 80M 
pirate!!!!!)

So let's try to keep this in perspective - they are trying.  The fact that 
the "rock" they are on requires building a shelf so they have a place to 
sit says more for why it is an entity, but that decision was made many 
years ago.  Did they go at the right time?  We can argue that all over the 
place.  But I guess I would ask only one question...  If you work them on 
Tuesday, will you try again on Thursday?  If you work them on CW will you 
try phone?  For me, I am trying to adhere to their request for a single 
contact.  I'm not sure how I will respond to the issue of an "insurance" 
contact.  But to help my fellow hams, I will try to hold to the single 
contact rule for everyone's sake.  So I can only hope that the signal is 
clear and that my call is clean.

Good luck to everyone.

I've tracked the openings since Saturday morning at 1100 UTC and here they
are.

Saturday, 1430-1545 UTC, weak
Saturday, 1700-1820 UTC, readable
Sunday, 1300-1330 UTC, weak
Sunday, 1652-1730 UTC, weak
Sunday, 2339-0020 UTC, weak
Monday, 1115-1140 UTC, LP, weak
Monday, 1215-1300 UTC, weak
Monday, 1610-1740 UTC, built to nice S7 peak at 1710 then gradually faded
out by 1800 UTC

I've listened from 1100-0230 UTC all three days. Total hours heard add up to
7.1 hr., with 2.8 copyable hours, and less than 1 actual workable hour.
Right after I wrote this, Martii came up on 20 phone with a good signal, so
it's not over yet. I still need them on phone.

Earlier today, I mentioned that I had a link to the 1997 BS7H Expedition 
that really sets the tone of how interesting this "entity" really is. I've 
included the location below.  You will have to copy the "link" and paste 
it into your browser as I could not find a way to create a real link.

Enjoy.  Maybe when your waiting for propagation to open to BS7 you can 
watch the video.  Or maybe you want to watch it to do a reality check as 
to why it is even an "entity".  But whatever your reason, it gives you a 
perspective.  I'm not sure that the 2007 expedition video would be much 
better.  There just isn't enough room for James Brooks 9V1YC to put a real 
camera anywhere!!!

Have fun...

Rick,

Thanks for sending the link.  It makes one appreciate the difficulties in 
trying to operate from such tiny land areas.  It looks like they had beams 
on the last operation and they would sure help at times now.  I just hope 
the weather lasts until I can snag just one CW qso.

I forward this the the EIDXA reflector for those who may not have seen it on
the
dx-list reflector     de zrl





     I think this DXpedition has really taken its toll on the
operators.  You can tell from the comments by the operators they are
physically and mentally exhausted.  Martti on 17 is working a long
time on each call area, and he sounds exhausted.  He took a 10-minute
break a little while ago because, and he put it, he couldn't
concentrate or think straight anymore.  He's still clipping them off
at a fairly good rate, but I've never heard him sound so tired.  He
just said he was "fading out, not in his full capacity."

     The other day 9V1YC sounded the same on 20.  These fellows have
gone far beyond what, in my opinion, any other DXpedition has
endured.  Having never done anything remotely close, I can't say for
sure (I'm willing to bet 3Y0PI was no picnic, either, and I've seen
the video of that.)  Either way, I really wish the DX Cluster
Announcements and negative spots in the comment field would cease.

     These guys are what make us get up every
day.  DXpeditioners.  All of them, be it BS7H or someone camped out
in the Caribbean.  And yet it seems many continue to criticize.  I
didn't work anything "new" from the current BS7H crew, but you can
bet I will send a little something beyond a stamp on my SAE.  They
made DXing exciting for over a week, and they did it under the worst
possible conditions.  Anyone who says anything negative about them is
dead wrong.

     If people have to criticize, it is the jammers and DX cops who
are 100% responsible for anything we missed.  The operators are
golden!  Realise that, for they make our aspect of the hobby so great.

Tom, congrat's on Top of the HR.  The 2007 BS7H will give me #1 HR on SSB.
I already have #1 HR Mixed, with Scarborough confirmed on CW from 1995.  I
still need two on CW - P5 and a good 7O (have the 7O1YGF card).

Everyone:
Granted we don't expect BS7H size pile-ups, I still wanted everyone who 
may need some band/mode fillers to know Rudy NF9V and I will operate 
from VP2E 18-20 May, 2007.

We expect to operate HF and 2m EME.  Then after a move day (21 May), we 
plan to activate FS/home call  for two more days 22-23 May and will 
travel back home on 24 May.

The callsigns anticipated will be
VP2EDS and FS/KJ9I (Dave)
VP2ERV and FS/NF9V (Rudy)

have fun at Dayton or working us.. work us if you need us to fill some 
bands.    QSLs via home call per operator with our addresses both 
current on http://www.qrz.com

Hello all,
I heard BS7H several times on 20M, both SSB and CW. I never heard them on
17M. I did not work them and I congratulate those who did because the
pileups were large and spread over many kHz.  I couldn't figure out what
frequencies they were working.   Each time I heard them well, they were
working only Europe.  IMHO,  good propagation to the Midwest was only open
2-3 hours and when it was, they were not working NA, just EU.    When they
were working NA, they were weak and I heard them working mostly W6 and W7.
Oh, well, time to wait for another BS7 expedition.

Message-ID: <20070526205829.101E7859C40@mailman.qth.net>

Over the last two days I have noticed a sizeable increase in the noise on 40
meters.  The noise at my QTH (NE Cedar Rapids) is a solid S-9 and at times
higher.  I am wondering if others might have noticed this as well.  Seems
that it is man made and not atmospheric.

 

Any reports from any one would be informative.

With some more investigation the noise covers all of 40M and all of 80M and
I don't hear it on 20.  When I travel Blarferry road between Viola Gibson
school and the new Baptist church it is seems very loud it drop off
considerably after those two locations,  wonder if a newly installed bug
catcher could make this noise...But it travels over a pretty large area an
stays strong and then quickly drops off to zero..

What kinds of tools do I need to do a better job of location the source??

Steve

Hello EIDXA,

I have been working with Brad K4RT on the webpage.  Actually, Brad has been
doing the work on the inputs.  Take a look at the changes made
and please comment with your suggestions.  Also,  PLEASE look at the "
Announcements"  section and click on the link that asks questions about
you, your operating and awards.  Please take a few minutes and email me with
info so we can bring up each members info.  I took some pictures at
the last meeting.  If you weren't there and have a picture please forward it
to me.  If you were there.....and DON'T like your picture....you can send me
a better one.  We can replace those in the link.

Thanks and a BIG thanks to Brad for his help on this.

73,

Glen Kesselring  K0JGH
