[GCARC] Last Chance for Clipperton Island

[Agustin Neron Properties LLC]

Nice job Dennis!
Roger on how often these places get activated. TX5S gave me a new mode - FT8. 17m-160 I got confirmed from the 2008 TX5C expedition CW & SSB, TX5D in 2013 I got 12m,15m. 10M was FO0CI way back in 1992 for my 1st Clipperton QSO!

If you had the chance to follow some of the announcements, they had to have a French environmental scientist accompany them. Part of it was for his ongoing research, but I bet he was told by his bosses to keep an eye on the visitors ;)

I personally missed them on 80 & 160 but filled the rest of the cw & some SSB slots. There may not be another trip there in my lifetime. I hope all of the club’s DX chasers got them in the log.
