Hi all,
Looks like an extra 3 weeks of operation due to bad weather (ship can't pick up the gear on the island)!

Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Update
Date/Time: February 10, 2026 23:00 UTC

-DXPEDITION EXTENDED
-ATNO DAY

DXPEDITION EXTENDED:
We are pleased to announce an extension of the Desecheo DXpedition 2026
until Tuesday, March 3, 2026. The original recovery date was Thursday,
February 12th, however deteriorating sea conditions have required us to
delay equipment recovery until March 3rd.

As a result, the DXpedition will remain on the air longer, providing
additional opportunities for operators to work Desecheo Island for an
All Time New One (ATNO), which remains our primary focus. During the
extension period, we will continue to operate on the bands and modes
that have proven most effective and productive.

—————
ATNO DAY:
We will be conducting an All Time New One Day for twelve hours, beginning
Sunday, February 15, 2026 at 12:00 UTC and ending Monday, February 16,
2026 at 00:00 UTC. During this period, we will be focused on FT8 from
12:00–14:00 UTC, after which we will focus on SSB. Operation will be in
the U.S. General portion of the bands.

We respectfully ask operators who do not need KP5 Desecheo Island for
an ATNO to please refrain from calling us during this period. This will
help maximize opportunities for those who still need this rare entity
in their log.

—————
STATISTICS:
Current statistics show 66,000+ QSOs, 14,771 unique callsigns, and 3,674
ATNOs.

Breakdown by continent:
NA 54.4%
EU 34.5%
AS 6.4%
SA 3.2%
OC 0.9%
AF 0.6%
—————

Please continue to monitor the Weekly Mode Schedule and livestream, as
updates may occur based on real-time conditions.

The Desecheo DXpedition 2026 Team sincerely thanks the amateur radio
community worldwide for its continued interest and support of this
first-ever, fully solar-powered rare-entity DXpedition.

If you are enjoying this operation and would like to support future
DXpeditions and the continued development of more effective Remote
Deployment Units, donations may be made to the Manyana DX Foundation
