I don't mean to turn this into the Elecraft DX cluster, but for those  
that are anticipating the next interesting DXpedition--Clipperton  
Atoll, that team is in the contest on 40 meter SSB on 7.228 with 100  
watts from their ship, enroute to Clipperton.  They are using the call  
FO5A.  When they get on shore, they will be TX5C.  Here's a chance to  
work them early!  They are also periodically answering questions about  
who they are and when they will hit Clipperton.  Right now, the op  
says they will be there on March 6th.  They just said they are about  
940 miles north of Clipperton (this was said at 0515Z, March1 (UTC).   
Check QRZ.com for TX5C, and the info on the /mm operation will be  
there, as well as info on their QSL manager!

Oh yes, and I worked them on the first call with my K2! ;-)
