[HCRA] Ducie Island - VP6DX

[Mike DeChristopher, K1KAA]

Also snagged him on 15, but with 5W.  The antenna is a loaded-up gutter pipe outside my dorm window.  He wasn't too strong here, but nobody is with the gutter.

I worked Ducie last time (I think about six years ago), but it was on 10m.

I didn't hear Rick, but then again, I was grabbing every third letter or so, hihi.

Thanks, Jim. Got him third call on 21 MHz (QSX 21.027.27) with 100 W and my
60-meter loop. He was 10 over here.

For those budding DX'ers out there a pretty rare country is now on the air.
Ducie Island, VP6DX is on many bands right now and pretty strong here in New
England.

Read about the Dxpedition at their web site:
http://ducie2008.dl1mgb.com/index.php.

Good luck, if you get this one in the log it will be a rare one! They will
be on the air until February 27th so you have plenty of time. Once the first
rush happens early next week might be a good time to give it a shot.

And you retired folks have an even better shot. Work 'em when everyone else
is off contributing to your Social Security check! :>)

'73...
