[SADXA] VP6D DXpedition

[D Dismachek]

I was able to work VP6D on 14.185 and 18.130 Mhz today. I tried barefoot with my dipole but no luck with the pileups. I finally decided to begin using my Amp Supply LK-500ZA and had no problem. I've heard and tried to work FT8 to Ducie Island on 20 and 17 meters with no luck, barefoot, 100 watts. On 20 meters they were listening on 14.283 and on 17 meters up 5 Mhz. It amazes me that there are so many hams that are making second calls, which are announced by the DX group saying "you are in the log already". It's hard enough to get a contact with people doubling up on theirs!
