[Great-River-DX] Amsterdam

Although I have Amsterdam confirmed also, I'll be looking to fill in band and mode holes. As someone noted, this one is not likely to be on again in my lifetime. These rare spots are becoming more and more difficult for even well established groups to stage an effort for due to escalating costs and governments unwilling to grant landing permits due to concerns about protecting the wild life and the local environment.  Arlyce needed them for a new one and she has them on 20M CW so far.  I have them on 20M CW, 20M SSB and 30M CW.  Really want to get them on 40M and 80M.

Good luck all.

Mike
