Here is the latest from Peter 1. See http://www.peterone.com/updates.htm for
their progress.

"We leave the hotel 5am EST Feb 1 for the airport, depart at 6AM est for
KGI.? We will tour the bases and visit the penguins.? This is a standard day
trip for many tourists.? We then board the ship.? It is unclear when we
weigh anchor and sail.? Plan is to have Carolina Windom between the two
masts for 20m up, a dipole for 30m, and a vertical for lower bands.? Two
full stations with computers and amps set up to train and understand all the
equipment before deploying to the island. 
We may be at the island by 5 FEB.? Weather conditions will determine how
long it will take to set up and get on the air. 
As soon as we get e-mail working under sail, you will hear from us again. it
could be 48 hours from now.? All team members are EXCITED and anxious to get
to the island.? We are having a GREAT time and getting to meld into a single
unit - "100,000 QSOs" is the rally cry!! ?

Hi Y'All...................
 
Can anyone refer me to an accurate site for international postage rates.  The 
one I hv bookmarked doesn't seem to be very up to date.
BTW my MonstIR and parts to rebuild my SteppIR are due to be shipped tmrw.  
Hope to hv everything operational by the end of the month. Hoping to make their 
 maiden contest in the OKQP.
Looking forward to the Peter 1 boys going hot. Going to be interesting to  
see if I can crack the pile up with just a little tribander and some wires. But  
I got Ducie with less, so I'm hopefull.
See 'Ya in the pileup.

I am not familiar with a website to give you the information but I can tell 
you at least this much, based on what I was told at the post office a few days 
ago.  To mail a postcard to Canada and Mexico, 55c; for a first class letter, 
63c.  For a letter to Europe, 84c.  Hope this helps a little.

"We have been at sea since 0100UTC. Seas have varied between calm and rough
and currently are 6 - 9 feet. We opened the container and began organizing
our grear for landing on Peter I in a few days. We're currently on the air
with one station at 100w and are working on getting a second station up
along with two amplifiers. One antenna is up and, as soon as the wind dies
down, the second will be up as well. Everyone is OK and in good spirits. At
the time of this report we're 3 miles offshore Deception Island. 
Present ETA is to be at Peter I on the morning of February 5th, weather
permitting; landing there is also a "weather permitting" issue."

Mark,
Here's info that I found on ARRL's website:
 
ZL9CI tops DXpedition QSO record: The Kermadec DX Association's ZL9CI Campbell Island DXpedition topped the DXpedition QSO record set a couple of years ago by the Heard Island VK0IR DXpedition. During its operation from January 6-24, the ZL9CI crew put some 96,000 contacts in the log. The VK0IR team had held the record at 80,000-plus contacts. Both the VK0IR DXpedition and the ZL9CI DXpedition were recipients of Colvin Award grants via the ARRL.

It was D68C with around 132,000 I believe, maybe more.  3B9C is second.

But that is old data.  D68C and 3B9C both broke the 100,000 QSO mark, and I
think K1B also beat ZL9C with aroudn 94,000 QSOs.  And I have worked all of
those DXpeditions.  Did miss FT5XO and VP8THU, though :(

I worked JX in 2001 a couple of times.  J8 is actually on quite often.  I
know I worked them last year.

Yes, to count for DXCC they have to be on land.  You can probably count
their MM operation for WPX or the CQ grid field award.

With regard to the Peter 1 fellows, they were issued the XR9A callsign by the Chilean government to use while Maritime Mobile en route to Peter 1.  It does not count as Peter 1 and, come to think of it, don't suppose it would even count as Chile, since they are at sea.  Although, they did operate briefly as XR9A/8 while land-based in Chile.  A QSO with them under that circumstance would, of course, count as Chile.  See you in the pileups.

The following is 3Y0X update for 3 Feb:

Beginning yesterday afternoon we encountered long swells that gently raise
and then lower the boat..  It was a fairly comfortable ride.  Today the seas
have changed a bit and are averaging twelve feet.  The ride is a little more
uncomfortable, but not a problem for most of the team.  We are experiencing
winds speed of 33 knots with gusts higher...direction is from the SSW.
Outside air temperature is 36 deg F.  Current position is 65 deg 2 min S.
Lat and 65 deg, 44 mins West at 1900Z on Feb 3rd.
We have almost 2,000 QSOs on two radios using an OCF Windom antenna and a
4-BTV.  Callsign is XR9A/MM.  The Team is in good spirits, only two are
having trouble with sea sickness.  Training is continuing on the use of the
Icom 756 Pro III's and Alpha 99 amps and with Writelog.  Last night after
dinner we viewed a video and discussed once again how to erect the shelters.
Most of the team has hands-on experience with shelter erection from previous
training, but six have not.  Tomorrow will be spent moving our equipment
from the container on the lower deck to the main deck and staging for
helicopter airlift!

Current ETA at Peter I is midnight, Sunday, Feb 5th.  This means the
earliest we could begin setting up the camp would be the following morning
on Monday... weather permitting!

Guys,
I'd like to propose that we make our needs known to each other with regard to 
what countries we are lacking, and to provide a means by which we can be 
reached.  That way we could all be on the lookout for our fellow OKDX'ers.
I'll publish my list here and would welcome hearing from anyone who might 
happen to notice one of the needed countries on the air.  If there are others of  
you who would send your list to the reflector, we can all print out your list 
and be on the lookout for you.  My DXCC pursuit is "Mixed" so it doesn't need 
to be a certain band or certain mode.  If you hear ANY country I need I'd 
love to hear from you!  Thanks.

Fellow OkieDuxers.....................
 
Gene W5LE has come up with a great idea. To establish a spotting network on  
the reflector.
If you will list the countries you need and a phone nr you wish to be  
called, if we actually  HEAR  that station we will give you a 2 ringer  then hang 
up. If you phone goes off twice that is a signal for you to ck the  reflector 
where the info will be posted. Info should probably include the time  of posting 
in addition to all the other pertinent info.  Sooooooooooooo for  the Frog 
here go:
 
1A0   3C   3C0   3D2/C    3D2/R   3YB   5A   5N   5V    7O   9Q

To activate the automatic croaking machine call 918-655-7596.
I'm  only interested in CW spots. I'ld like to get set up on RTTY soon  but 
for now just CW.
Post your need list here on the reflector and we will call you 24/7 if we

I am not at all familiar with the operating conditions at everyones place,but depending on the logging program you are using, there may be a provision for this.
If you connect to a cluster thru the packet window of your logger, most programs have provisions to enter needed countries in an alarm area of the preferences of the logging programs and get a voice alert if you choose. So whenever a needed country is spotted u get the big noise!!
Anyway, I will keep an eye out and try to help.

John,
Only thing I ever heard about that one was that they did not have proper 
authorization from the Yemeni government to be on the air from there.
Makes you wonder where they got their callsign though, did they just pluck it 
out of thin air?  Or perhaps some telecommunications entity in Yemen issued 
the license but they did not have the stamp of approval from the overall 
government of the country.

I could never figure that out either, John. I know they were there, they operated at least part time from the Halliburton property there I understand. Halliburton also helped on the effort some. Halliburton is also noted with their logo on the cards. I heard the guys at ARRL just didn't like their attitude or something??????? I have two of the 7O1YGF cards  for both ssb and cw and one from 7O1A for 17 m and 75 m and count them both.

My understanding is they never got any paperwork at all. Apparently they got
verbal approval by someone in the Yemeni government. It was later
countermanded and they were asked to leave. I spoke to Bill Moore sometime
ago and he was trying to get it approved but without some paperwork it
seemed doubtful. I also have the card so was hopeful.

Bill,

That's not quite correct.  Here's a quote from the Sep 20, 2002 ARRL Letter:

*ARRL DXCC Desk accredits 7O/OH2YY Yemen operation: The ARRL DXCC Desk
reports that it has received evidence that the Yemen operation by Pekka
Ahlqvist, OH2YY, in May 2002 was conducted with written approval from the
Yemeni government. "Credit for QSOs with 7O/OH2YY from May 4 through May
11, 2002, will be given effective immediately," said ARRL Century Club
Manager Bill Moore, NC1L. Regarding the 7O1YGF operation, the DXCC Desk
says it still has received no evidence traceable to the Yemeni government
to accredit that operation for DXCC. "DXCC credit for this operation will
be given only after such evidence has been presented to ARRL," Moore said.

I've talked with Wayne Mills several times on this operation and he says they have never received anything from the German ops that indicated they had approval from the Yemeni authorities.

Yes, according to the Daily DX published by W3UR, he would be on the island
this weekend. There were some spots yesterday from /MM. I have not seen any
yet from Crozet.

We awoke to calm seas this morning and have enjoyed a pretty smooth ride
since.  We now have over 2500 QSOs as XR9A/mm.  As we crossed the Antarctic
circle today at 66degs, 33 mins South,the Captain threw a party to
celebrate.  He made a speech and welcomed us to an elite club.  We toasted
with pisco sours (the official Chilean drink).  This was followed by lunch
and then a safety briefing and walk-thru from the helicopter pilot.  His
name is Aldo and he is assisted by two mechanics.  Gerard F2JD will also
assist with the helo operations on the island, while Carlos NP4IW and Al
K3VN will assist on the ship.  Tomorrow, Sunday, we will move the container
contents to the 1st deck and stage for the helo flights.  First four men
ashore will be Erling LA6VM, Bob K4UEE, Ralph K?IR and Bob N6OX.  The plan
is to set up OP B and make it self-sufficient before building the main camp.
This way if WX deteriorates, we will have a "foothold" on the island with
two stations QRV.  If WX is OK, we will proceed with building the camp
before going on the air.  Our current ETA at Peter I is Sunday, Feb 5 at
2300 hours.  Our first reconnaisance flight will be at first light on Monday
morning about 0700Z weather permitting!
Current position at 2100 hours Feb 4th is 66deg, 52 mins S, 79 deg, 24 mins
W.

73's to all from The Peter I team!

According to the CNN website, after about 2 orbits the signal went off the
air. They think that the batteries may have failed due to the cold.

Guys,
I've now created a spreadsheet that shows what OKDXA members need what 
countries.  The only ones listed so far are K8FU, W5JMW, K2BA, W5LE and W5VW, since 
they are the only ones to date who have provided the information on the 
reflector.  The spreadsheet can make it a simple matter to track who needs what and 
to help your fellow OKDX'ers to snag the countries they need.  I will send a 
copy of the excel file to all the above listed callsigns automatically.  If 
there are others of you out there who would like to put your "needed countries" 
list on the reflector, I can add you.  Thanks.

Although we have not had good passes on it yet here in OK.  The AMSAT
website says that you really need a high elevation pass (40 degrees or more)
to have a good chance of hearing it.

BTW, talk about premature death predictions, I was getting into AO7 very
nicely this AM, only 24 years after it was declared dead!

Sounds like a good way to keep track of things, and what others need.  Here
is my needed list, broken down by continent:

NA-None
SA- VP8S-South Sandwich

EU-SV/A-Mount Anthos

OC-VK9W-Willis Island

AN-3Y/P-Peter I Is.

AS-7O-Yemen
      9N-Nepal
      A5-Bhutan
     BS7-Scaffold Reef
     BV9-Pratas Is.
     E4-Palestine
     P5-North Korea
     S2-Bangladesh
     VU4-Andaman is.
     VU7- Lakshadweep Is.
     XU-Cambodia
     XX9-Macao
     XZ-Burma
     YA-Afghanistan
     YK-Syria

AF-3C0-Annobon
      3Y-Bouvet
      FR/G-Glorioso
      FT/W-Crozet is
      FT/X-Kerguelen
      FT/Z-Amsterdam and St. Paul
      T5-Somalia
      VK0-Heard Is.
      ZD9-Tristan de Cunha
      ZS8-Marion is.

I know I should have worked a few of these like FT/X, T5, YK, VP8, on recent
DXpeditions, but for some reason just didn't get them.

Does anyone have the secret for getting a QSL from SV2ASP/a (Monk Apollo)? 
I got one years ago for an SSB QSO with no difficulty, but getting a QSL for 
a CW QSO about 6 months ago has proven to be more difficult?  Has anyone had 
recent success?  What did you do?

6 Feb 2006 Update #3:
14:45UTC: False Alarm!  Just after gasing up, the fog set in again.  We are
on weather hold in the middle of a low pressure area.  The back-side of the
Low just started over us.  Still having fun!!  

Update #2:
13:15UTC:  The helicopter engine has been started and the first guys are
moving to the island! 

Update #1:
12:00UTC:  We're a mile and half offshore Peter I.  The helicopter is loaded
for the first run and the first four of us to go (Erling LA6VM, Bob K4UEE,
Ralph K?IR and Bob N6OX) are primed and ready.  The seas are fairly calm,
wind 15 knots, temp 35?F -- and the island completely shrouded in fog!  We
are waiting for it to lift...
73's to all from The Peter I team! 
 
5 Feb 2006 Update #2:
We have arrived at Peter I island and it is foggy and cold and very windy.
It popped out of the fog at 21:35 local when we were only 1.5 miles away and
it is about 34?F the wind is 40 mph right now.  It is really cold out on the
deck.  The Island is one of the spookiest sights we've ever seen and looks
very forboding with the fog and the wind.  Huge rocks and glaciers are
intermittantly visible.  We will need to wait for the weather to clear to go
on.  It is now 10pm local time and if it clears we will begin going onto the
island tomorrow morning.  Everything has gone very much according to plan
and we are very happy.

 Update#1:
We now have the email working too....just in time to QSY to the
Island.....Peter I is on the radar at forty miles, so we will arrive in four
hours or 21:00 local.  First flight is scheduled for 07:00 local tommorrow.
The container is unloaded and the first fifteen loads are queued on the
deck, ready to go.  Wx is foggy and cold.  Hoping for it to clear tomorrow.
Fingers crossed!

Gene,

There are several on the reflector that don't need any countries or maybe they need just one or two.  In the case of one or two, everyone is going to know when they are on the air.  :-)  Some of us are just looking for band fills for the DX Challenge and I don't think you want to list all of those.  

I for one would like to have a copy of the spreadsheet as it will give me incentive to watch the bands.  It would also be nice if we had the time that each one would be available for a call.  I'm sure they aren't all retired and may not be available during the day. 

I think this is a great effort and appreciate what you are doing.  It brings back  memories of the old 2 meter watch net.

Carmen and I both got a card from him (sent separately) for SSB QSOs in
2002. Sent it via CBA and took about 5 weeks.

Does anyone have the secret for getting a QSL from SV2ASP/a (Monk Apollo)? 
I got one years ago for an SSB QSO with no difficulty, but getting a QSL for

a CW QSO about 6 months ago has proven to be more difficult?  Has anyone had

recent success?  What did you do?

Thanks for your list, I've got you added to the spreadsheet, but you need to 
provide me with a reach telephone number that I can put on the spreadsheet, 
otherwise having the list is of no use because we'd have no way to call you and

Hi Gene,

Yes I realized that I forgot that.  Cell number is 580-591-6885.  Its great
having cell phones and internet service so you can see all of the DX you are

Update #5:
1045UTC:? We are still stuck on theship.? The seas are calmer but the low 
cloud cover is worse thanyesterday.? The wind has shifted so maybe it will clear 
soon. We are staged and ready to deploy to the island as soon as thehelocopter 
pilot, Aldo, feels it is safe to fly.? We must make at leastfive trips at the 
beginning to get enough supplies to the first landinggroup to be sheltered 
and sufficient in case the fog and clouds againsuspend flights for any period of 
time.

 Most of the team is catching up on rest - we will need it as soon as we are 
GO.? It will take 24 - 36 hours after this first GO to get any signals on the 
air.?  It will take a lot of effort and energy.

 Since everthing is packed up, we are NOT on the air at all.? Aftersix days 
at sea we are iching to get on the air and make some noise onthe bands.

 Stay tuned...

0245UTC:  "The Eagle Has Landed"!  The first helicopter load  landed on Peter
I Island at 1830Z 7 February.  All but three members of  the Team are ashore;
the last helicopter trip for the day was at 0230Z  (today).  80% of the gear
has been transferred; the rest (and the  remaining three Team members) will
be flown ashore in the morning  (local).  All the shelters are up except OP
Shelter A.  We will go  on the air with two stations at around 0400Z 8
February.

Two SteppIR  antennas are up along with a 40M vertical.  This is a beautiful
place  but visibility is presently poor.  We've seen the tops of volcanoes
but  only for a brief period.  The camp is located a bit north of the  1994
location, closer to the sea.  Snow is slushy and you sink in about  6" with
every step; makes moving around tiring.  Temp is 30?, wind 30  knots and
visibility is low.  We expect to have 8-9 stations on the air  in the next 24
hours.  Let the fun begin!

They came up around 0500Z on 40 meters and shortly went to 14023 and 18130.  Seems they only have two stations operational at this time.  Good luck.

Update #2 - 2215UTC:  We're just about where we were yesterday with the
weather being even worse.  Three Team Members (Carlos NP4IW, Al K3VN and
George N4GRN) are still on the ship along with about 20% of our gear and
supplies.  The winds today have been as high as 60 knots and now are 30-40
knots.  Temps are in the low 30s; it's raining (not snowing) and it makes
tough going as we sink in about 6" into slush with every step.  The
conditions are difficult to work in and Ralph K?IR says it's worse than in
1994.  In 1994, firm ice was about 6' down; now it's only about 18".  The
final shelter is up (Operations Shelter A, 12' x 24').  We're all wet and
semi-miserable (and our chief cook, George N4GRN is still on the ship!) 

We've made about 2,500 QSOs so far, about 60% on CW.  The Qs are about 1/3
Europe, 1/3 Japan and 1/3 US.  Tonight we'll have four stations on the air
as the 30M and 40M verticals are now operational along with the two
SteppIRs.  The 75 meter and 160M antennas will be worked on tomorrow. 

We've been unable to transmit the logs for the website so far because the
antennas to do that are (you guessed it) still on the ship.  Please be
patient and bear with us.

Are most club members using a dual receive type radio for DXing, like the FT1000 or Icom 781/775/756 series?  Or do most just make do with a single receive rig?  I have had both and am really missing the dual receive right now in the 3Y0X pileups.

I have the dual VFOs, but I am wondering about dual receive, where you can
listen to 2 different frequencies at the same time.

John,

The split vfo is real handy to find where in the pileup he is currently working.  Tracking that info helps to determine whether they are going up or down as well.  I found it useful in catching them on 30 and 40 meters.

John:

Yes, I use the Yaesu FT1000MP Mark-V with the dual receive.  I really helps
out in spotting who the DX station is working so you do not have to guess
what the split is.

Are most club members using a dual receive type radio for DXing, like the

John,
I use a Kenwood TS-930S.  It has 2 VFO's but not 2 receivers, so I can never 
listen to 2 frequencies simultaneously.  However, I find it a relatively 
simple matter to depress the "T-F Set" and listen to my
transmit frequency as I move the dial around.  It allows me to locate the 
station that is working a DX station
and position myself on the same frequency. Or, to position myself above or 
below the last worked station, if I determine that the DX station is trending 
downward or upward.  Same effect of the 2 receivers, just a little more work 
involved.  Have never found it to be overly burdensome.

Alan makes a good point. Radios with dual receive can be most useful in  
finding the split the DX station is working. Almost a necessity today when guys  
keep calling and don't shut up when another station is called, Stupidly  Insane.
The most difficult part of working DX is just trying to find where he's  
listening. 30 yrs ago I don't believe I ever hrd the word   ONLY.  DXing and 
contesting have become a lot less fun due to the evolving radio  practices. 
Someday let me tell you how I really feel.

And the dual receive is really helpful when they are doing a 15khz listening range like some of the recent DXpeditions are.  I can remember when DXpeditions would listen on only one frequency.  The DX cluster and reduction of license requirements to the point that anyone can get an extra with a weekend of study hasn't helped DXing for the most part.

Morning all,
Dual receive would be a nice feature to have.  It will definatly be on the
list of things to look for when I purchase my next rig.  I have an IC-718
that I can work split off of.  But, unfortunatly, this is a feature that I
haven't been able to use yet.  My antenna for the time being, is a 20 M
double bazooka that is run along the second floor ceiling of the house.
While that antenna will let me work some stations, I know there is alot out
there that I am missing

Hi Jon,

Keep at it, though.  I worked DXCC over the 1993-1996 timeframe running an Icom 720A to an indoor 20 meter dipole in a second floor apartment, and also a long wire run under the eaves of the building.  Some of the better stuff I worked was J2, 1A0, VP8-South Shetlands, 9G, and 7Q.  I did miss the previous 3Y0 DXpedition using this setup, though.

I have both the Yaesu MK V and TS930S. For many years I used the 930S
chasing split operations however the dual receive of the MK V makes the
process much easier.

Dear fellow DXers,
 
 I use a really modest station for H.F. which consists of  Kenwood TS570S 
barefoot into a Mosley TA34XL at 20 feet AGL. For six meters  I use the same rig 
into a Cushcraft 6 element at thirty-five feet AGL.  Someday I will get off my 
lazy behind and get my other two towers up.  :-)
 I have wanted an amplifier for over 20 years but Santa  just will not 
cooperate. :-(
 
Happy DXing,

John,

I use an Ten Tec Orion. It has dual receivers and you can set it up to
listen to one receiver in your left headphone and the other receiver in
your right headphone. Works pretty neat.

Pay no attention to Froggy's comments on SSB. I don't think he even has
a microphone!

2330UTC:  The visability is still very poor and we were unable to fly the
helicopter today. We saw the ship from the island twice for a few seconds;
that's how "socked in" we are.
Thankfully we're all drier today!.

The helicopter is loaded for the next run, hopefully tomorrow, our remaining
three Team Members will be able to join us. The supplies we miss the most
are ready to bring across: another generator, another radio, chairs and
food.

Presently we're on the air with only three stations. Fortunately today we
were able to get the Battle Creek Special up so we'll be on 80 and 160
tonight.

Our spirits are good, but we're disappointed we only have 1/3 of the
stations on the air. Hopefully we'll be at full strength by the weekend
(both rigs and manpower).

john, i have 2 mark v(s) at home and i really liked it for tuning around to

i liked the mark v so much that when i was in iraq i purchased another mark v

my dream shack plus it was harder for my wife to see exactially what i had 
purchased.

when i had the opportunity to be the DX station and many stations calling me 
i would tune +/- away from the QRM and got some interesting contacts. 

dual RX is a real advantage but im just speaking from a short time of 
experience. there are many others out there that have worked 10,000s of more QSOs 
than i have with a single RX and are much butter operators than i am

Hi David,

I agree with the benefits of dual receive.  Really miss having it right now, and was just wondering if most other found it necessary for DXing.

Any chance of having a sked on 40m as I need EL there still.  80 would be even better, but a little tougher also.  I am sure that other OKDXA members need it on one or both of those bands also.

HI John,
If you like to split the audio out into each earcup of your headset then 
Yaesu wins hands down.  Icom's Dual Watch is kinda OK for loud signals, but 
the Yaesu is more versatile.  However the 756 Pro III or II makes up for it 
with the bandscope and is better on RTTY.

No clear winner.  I have both and the Yaesu has ( I don't want to think 
about it) a ton of Inrads in it including the roofing filter.

For pure DXing it is hard to beat Yaesu's dual receiver.

73 de w5jay..




Are most club members using a dual receive type radio for DXing, like the 
FT1000 or Icom 781/775/756 series?  Or do most just make do with a single 
receive rig?  I have had both and am really missing the dual receive right 
now in the 3Y0X pileups.

I find that on these once is a lifetime expeditions Dual RX makes a huge 
difference if the stations NOT being called will STBY.  I guess not every 
DXer has or has read Clifton's  favorite book------- "The Complete DXer" by 
Bob Locher.  Oh well we can dream, but I don't things will change.  Plus I 
love to beat out the idiots that don't know how to listen.  It is all fun in 
the end!

Some operators don't like to use Dual RX and others love it.  I put the DX 
station in my left ear, the stations calling in my right ear at a slightly 
lower volume.  All I want to hear in that right ear is a 5NN TU and then I 
tail end them while not losing focus on the DX in the left ear.  That is the 
reason I don't like Icom's Dual Watch, is there is no way to split out the 
audio.  You have a balance control, but you are still mixing both signals in 
both ears at the same time.  Alsa you near the DXer's frequency you get more 
noise than on a true separate RXer.

So like with cars you have to take them for a test drive to see which one 
suits your needs and taste.  Back to work guys gud luck on the 3Y!!

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the analysis Jay.  I have owned both the Yaesu FT1000MP and the Icom 756, and agree that the dual receive function works better in the Yaesu, in most regards.  It was nice to be able to split the receivers by ears, and being able to tune each receiver independently of each other, on different modes, was great for those mixed mode contests.  I didn't like having to go into the menu to change the CW filter setting on the subreceiver, but I think that has been fixed in the MKV.

Still the dual receive in the Icom was OK, and was better than not having dual receive at all.  You did have to ride the balance control alot, and another disadvantage was that you had to have both receivers set to the same bandwidth.  I like to use narrow filters on the DX station, and wider filters to find the station the DX is working.  That is one thing I don't like about the new IF-DSP rigs-they make you use the same bandwidth in both VFOs.  My non-IF-DSP, single receive rig will at least let me listen to the DX with a 500hz filter in line, and switch to the other VFO (the transmit one) with a 2.4khz filter to find where the DX is working.

Here's the latest from the Peter One crew:

12 Feb 20060110UTC:  Just to bring you up to date, yesterday morning at 0230UTC the helicopter began flying again and brought ashore 8-9 loads and our three orphaned Team Members.  Starting again at 0900UTC, he starting bringing the final 5-6 loads and finished around 1500UTC.  At that time we finally had a full complement of people, equipment and supplies.  In the last load was the Job Johnny (outhouse) which was very gratefully received! 

Here's a rundown on the antennnas in operation now: 
Battle Creek Special for 160 
Wire antenna for 80 
Wire antenna for 75 
Two 40M verticals 
20M vertical 
17M two-element vertical 
30M vertical 
Two SteppIR 2El yagis for 10-20M 

Tomorrow we'll have another 30M vertical and the two remaining SteppIR 2el yagis up. 
We presently have six stations on the air and tomorrow afternoon will have all eight. 
Today we had beautiful views of the Mountain; hopefully the weather will continue to clear. 
Note: We are presently adding the rest of the computers to the LAN so there will be some delay in getting the logs uploaded; please be patient with us.  The main web page always indicates the latest logs available so that should be your trigger to check to see if you're in it.

Message-ID: <221.7d9ba4c.31212589@aol.com>

2130Z: The Team has spent the better part of the past 36 hours putting  the
gear that arrived yesterday on the air.  We are now up to seven  active
stations and we'll get the 8th up by daybreak tomorrow.  This is  allowing
operations on 12M and 10M while putting two stations on  40M.

We put up another 40M vertical today and all the SteppIRs are up now  (both
verticals and beams).

We can now man 30M virtually around the  clock and we'll be watching for the
LP European opening that occurs during  the JA runs.

Because we've been so intent on getting the inter-station  LAN up and
running, we've been forced to neglect collecting the logs off each  machine
(or they would have been out of sync or worse, missing Qs on the  website).
We found the network was also susceptible to RF and it took quite a  few
torriods (and time) to correct those issues.

Now that the network  is running well, we can finally pull the logs and
upload to N1DG which will  be done sometime tonight.

We know the DX Community wants the online logs,  but getting the Island
network running was judged more important for putting  QSOs into the logs
than confirming ones already made.

We are about  three days behind the island infrastructure plan due to the
continuing  challenges of bad weather.

Thanks for your patience,

says it better than mere words!  The snow is very fine and is  making its way
inside all the shelters.  Sleeping bags are covered with  a light dusting,
etc.  It's one thing to anticipate an Antarctic  blizzard (and we did) but
experiencing one is something else  altogether.

We've heard about a rumor that we're ceasing operations on  Feb 17th.  Not
only is that not true, we've not yet even discussed our  exit strategy.  The
only places for "good" 3Y?X information is from our  Pilots or the website.
If you don't see it here, it isn't a  fact.

We're glad we were able to get the logs uploaded correctly and  caught up.
There are 48K Qs in the log now and we are presently hunkered down  indoors
with little to do but make contacts!

I listed the 3B9C as 153,000+ because for some reason that DXpedition was left off of the list.  I know they had slightly more than 153,000 QSOs, but not sure how many.  Of these DXpeditions, I worked all but the VK0IR, A52A, XZ0Z, FT5XO, 3Y0PI, 3B7RF, and K7C ones.  I already had KH7 confirmed so didn't go after K7C too hard, but would have liked them on CW.  And I did get 3B6RF later to make up for the 3B7 I missed.  

It will be interesting to see where the 3Y0X finished.  I have seen another Top DXpedition list that included P5RS7 as "Near North Korea".  Did any club members work that one?

I worked them all except the 3Y0PI (I was moving to Oklahoma in 94 and not
on the air). The P5RS7 was, of course, a fake by Romeo 3W3RR/AH0M. He
actually operated over the border in Vladivostok, Russia.

I listed the 3B9C as 153,000+ because for some reason that DXpedition was
left off of the list.  I know they had slightly more than 153,000 QSOs, but
not sure how many.  Of these DXpeditions, I worked all but the VK0IR, A52A,
XZ0Z, FT5XO, 3Y0PI, 3B7RF, and K7C ones.  I already had KH7 confirmed so
didn't go after K7C too hard, but would have liked them on CW.  And I did
get 3B6RF later to make up for the 3B7 I missed.  

It will be interesting to see where the 3Y0X finished.  I have seen another
Top DXpedition list that included P5RS7 as "Near North Korea".  Did any club
members work that one?

John,

I worked the P5RS7.  I was hoping.....   If I remember correctly, that was one of Romeo's adventures.

I can understand not interfering with the ARRL CW contest, but why not CW on WARC bands, or SSB on the non-WARC bands?

John,

I understand that it wasn't written right.  They will be operating on the WARC bands, SSB and RTTY.  Doing exactly what you suggest.

Thanks Coy.  That makes more sense.  I would think, though, that the RTTY operations might cause a little QRM with the CW DX contest, although with the sunspots the way they are, I can't see the CW contest operations going well above .100 like they did a few years (and many sunspots) ago.

1530UTC:? This morning we've had clear blue skiess on the 
island.?Interestingly, on the ship it's windy and drizzling; apparently themountain is, for now, 
keeping the weather on the island clear.? Thehelicopter is flying and we've 
completely moved all the OP Binfrastructure aboard ship.? Other antennas are 
being taken downsystematically as we continue to operate from OP A.We are working 
a plan to close down 3Y?X sometime on Sunday and plan tobe completely off the 
island sometime on Monday and (hopefully) sailingfor Punta Arenas on Tuesday.

All of these plans are weather-dependent as you know; we'll keep you updated 
as we get closer to departure.

How did others do on working 3Y0X.  They were an all time new one for me here, and I worked them 4 times: 20 SSB, 30CW, 17CW and 20CW.  They were loudest on 30 meters most of the time.  The pileups on 40 never really got small enough for them to be managable with my small setup.  I did hear them faintly on 10 meters 1 day, and I learned that I need to get something better up for the WARC bands.  Never really heard them on 12 even though they were spotted all around me.  They were #309 mixed here, and probably #290 or so on CW.

Hi John,
I didn't need them, but wanted to work them on CW and on the lower bands.  I 
made band fills on 17m-40m CW and 30m RTTY.  I heard them on 160m when they 
thought NA was dead and they were working EU.  I had a lot of fun when I got 
to chase them.  When I would work them I would cheer!  Using a ladder line 
dipole does that for you, hihi.

I worked them on all the bands that I needed (30, 17, 12) except 160m. 
Never heard them on 160 but I was out of town when most people worked them.

Hi Y'All........................
 
Glad to see everyone who wanted them were able to work the Peter Rabbit Boys. Even Loose Bruce got him.
I initially had my doubts as how well my new Optibeam would work @ 55'. It can work 5 bands and I wrked the Peter Rabbit Boys rather easily. Which was a big surprise to me. I worked them on the first morning of the first day on 17 and was finally able to work him on 40 on the last morning of the last day. Worked them on all bands except 80 & 160. Glad there in the log as they'll never be hrd agn in my lifetime.  Now what do do about Scarborough Reef..........................

I worked the 1994 Peter 1 Dxpedition on 20 meter SSB so this was not a new 
one.
Even with my city lot antennas, I did work 3Y0X on:

20 CW and SSB
17 CW and SSB
12 CW

I tried to work them on 30 and 40 meters but never got through. My highest

20 Feb 2006 0130UTC:? We're all aboard ship!? The last five of us 
werehelicoptered back aboard the DAP Mares about 0000UTC today.? We've allshowered (for 
the first time in two weeks) and are feeling very goodabout the whole Peter I 
experience.Thuere are still 8-10 helicopter loads of gear and supplies 
awaitingtransfer from the island to the ship tomorrow and, when that's all doneand 
stowed, we'll be sailing for Punta Arenas.

Tentative plans are to visit Deception Island on the way back to KingGeorge 
Island and on to Punta Arenas, Chile.? There may be radiooperations from 
Deception and King George; more about that as plansfirm up.? We're at least four 
days away from Punta Arenas.

While the Peter I phase of the trip is over, we're still days away from home; 
we plan updates for you along the way.

Thanks for participating with us on this great adventure -- and being part of 
the 87K+ Qs from 3Y0X!

Jim:

I forgot today is a national holiday and you are at home.  I came home
Friday night and spent 40 plus hours in bed this weekend.  I never ventured
to the ham shack.  So, if Peter One is over I have to settle for what I
have.  I was totally exhausted and I was sick on top of that.  My throat was
raw with drainage.  I came home and took some Nyquil and cough medicine and
went to bed at seven and got up at 11:30 Saturday morning.  I went back to
bed around three and slept until seven and was back in bed by nine.  I spent
most of yesterday in bed, also.  I do not know if I will make it through
today or not.  I am feeling a little better but I am awful weak.

I ended up with five contacts on four bands and two modes.  It was not what
I wanted but between working so much and getting sick, that is all I could
squeeze in.  I guess I will get my card ready and get it in the mail this
week even though it will probably be months before the cards start coming
out.  Maybe by Huntsville in August we might start getting the cards in.

I am going to rest up this week and try to get my feet back under me.  I
will start studying for my Microsoft exam, also.  Our class got postponed
for a month because the college forgot to renew their Microsoft teaching
papers and they cannot get the study materials.  They might use
non-Microsoft material to study by.  I will start cramming for the exam now
and try to get that behind me.  What did you do this weekend?  How much
rain, snow, and ice did you guys get this weekend?  It drizzled here most of
the weekend and will do so most of this week.  It is still drizzling out
there now.  You did well considering your antenna setup.  There were a lot
of people around here with limited antenna situations.

Alan, N5PA

I had a lot of fun logging those guys.  I don't really chase band/countries, 
but I tried to work them on as many bands and modes as possible just because 
of the rarity of the place and the likelihood that it won't be on again for 
ages, and the fact that I had the good fortune to be down in Atlanta to help the 
guys build the shipping crates for the DXpedition and to get to meet a lot of 
the operators at one of the gatherings.

Yes, we are both home today. Linda and I will be painting some more in the 
kitchen. It is cold here with about an inch or snow and sleet.
I hope that you get to feeling better. Linda had the same thing and was 
miserable for days. She is mostly over it. I am doing well so perhaps I did 
not get the bug.
Get some sleep and rest.

Peter One was a new one for me (4 to go) and worked them on 9 bands cw, 7
bands ssb, and 2 bands RTTY. Figured out how to work RTTY, on this rig, the
day before closedown. The group did an outstanding job under very trying
conditions. My hats off to them.

How did others do on working 3Y0X.  They were an all time new one for me
here, and I worked them 4 times: 20 SSB, 30CW, 17CW and 20CW.  They were
loudest on 30 meters most of the time.  The pileups on 40 never really got
small enough for them to be managable with my small setup.  I did hear them
faintly on 10 meters 1 day, and I learned that I need to get something
better up for the WARC bands.  Never really heard them on 12 even though
they were spotted all around me.  They were #309 mixed here, and probably
#290 or so on CW.

Hi Jim,

Congrats on the 12m QSO.  Would have loved them on this band. They were
louder on 30 and 40 than any other band here, but didn't really try on 40 as
I figured my 100 watts, crummy antenna, nd non-dual receive just wouldn't
have cut it in the pileups there.  The Pileups never really did die down
much on 40.  I could just barely hear them above the noise level on 80.

2000UTC:  The weather has worsened to the point that the helicopter cannot
fly to pick up the remaining loads still on Peter I.  This means that the
Team will be sitting on the ship, ofshore Peter I, until the weather
improves.  This could be several days and the delay will definitely impact
any plans to operate from King George. We'll keep you updated..

While I may may make light of some issues and stretch the truth a bit for  
the sake of humor on others, DXing is a hallowed sanctuary here on the  "Lily 
Pad".
My Kuwait card did indeed make #280. While this is not anywhere close to an  
honor roll total I feel thrilled to reach this level after spending 30 yrs on  
the road behind a wheel. I tried to get home for rare operations. Made some 
but  missed many. I doubt if I'll ever make the honor roll but my lifetime  
achievement is to reach 300.
Am in the process of totally rebuilding my station in the hopes of hving a  
very competitive effort for the NAQP in June.
If you will ck the Thomas Old English dictionary you will find that  
insegrevious is indeed a valid word albeit long out of usage.

Froggy,

I hate to disagree with you but "insegrevious" is a nonsense word created by Gary Owens.  Don't think the Old English had to listen to it.  

But congrats on the 280.  You are getting close.

You are so right and I'm so busted. But to know that you had to live in LA  
in the middle 60's and listen to Owens who was on KMPC in the afternoons. I  
don't ever remember such an utterance on "Laugh In". Owens makes Imus look like

3 triple magnet mounts - and new 40 and 80 meter ham stiks arrived today to 
bolster this year's K5YAA mobile effort in the running of the 2006 Oklahoma 
QSO Party.  Unlike last year - should have enough hardware to make full use 
of 40 meters.

Now working on the route map.  The roads in the southwest look usable.  May 
end up starting down there for some new scenery.

Jerry,

I usually run SW and will tell you that it is different scenery.  Unfortunately, the new ARRL prez has called for an executive committee meeting in St Louis that weekend and I therefore won't get to play, once again.  Have fun.

Bruce,
Don't think you can do "attachments" to the reflector.  It doesn't show up.  
But I'll have the newsletter on the website today...

Sorry people, Looks like the Reflector will not allow me to attach a
file (i.e. newsletter). You can view the newsletter @ www.OKDXA.org  or
send me an Email from your home address and I will send you a copy.

Hi ya guys and gals et al,

We've been having some problems with the list.

The mailman program will not allow attachments to go through.
This is to stop spam and viruses.

AOL has been blocking E-mail from a lot of ISP'S.
I personaly take a very dim view of any kind of censorship.
I will choose what I see. My "provider" started blocking E-mail saying
it was Spam. I said I want to see ALL mail coming to me. They actually
blocked E-mail from X-10 my security camera vender and Tiger-Direct my
computer parts vender. I made a phone call and now receive ALL my E-mail!!
Hitting the delete key is  fun.

Next we are getting bounces from folks using the ARRL NET. Everybody needs
to
send mail from the address they used to join the list. An E-mail got
"Bounced'
last nite after I went to bed and I didn't get it approved until I got up
this AM.
Sorry about that.

I live in the country and hit the  rack at dark o'clock and get up before
sunrise.

I hope everybody has a good day !!

73 es gud dx es test.

Hi and good morning.

Be very careful of any E-mail you get and don't reconize the sender.

DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE FROM!!!

Yesterday after sending the message below I received a bounce notice from
the list. It was
not from a member of the list. I went to the Admin. page to check it  and
the mail came from
China and was a scam based on the Nigerian scam. This is the "FIRST" time
Spam has gotten
through the Mailman filters.

Be careful. Looks like some of the spam is getting through the Firewalls and
E-Mail scanners.

Evidently the reflector will not pass hyperlinks. So let's see if it will  
pass broken in 3 parts.
This is Chapter 1. The juicy stuff doesn't come till Chapter 2. @

And the crops began to grow as the frogs on their lily pads gazed upon the 
miracle?
Surely great things will occur after the metal tree grows to massive height!

All the animals in the forest await the next episode in the growth of this 
great metal tree.
