DX0NE – Spratly Islands
[NEWS UPDATE] –Gil DX0NE installed the 6m antenna and the VDAs for 12 to 20m. Tomorrow (May 2) he will work on the installation of the antennas for the rest of the bands. See the antenna plan / sketch below:[APRIL 30] –
We arrived Spratly.  At the moment we are not in our post, we have a makeshift antenna set up to make some QSOs. Tomorrow (May 1st) we will assemble the antennas, until day 2nd we will only have electricity from 00z to 15z. We hope to have the possibility to use a generator from day 3. We will send more information later.
[APRIL 25] – Below is a quick drawing showing where antennas might be placed. A reminder that DX0NE starts activity on April 30. Antennas are a 160m/80m K5WZ Dual Resonance Horse Fence Antenna and SVDAs for 20-10M. Radios will be 1 x YAESU 991A and an ICOM 756 Pro III. Pilot station is Nic, DU1NA who can be contacted at dx0ne.pagasa at gmail.com[APRIL 13]
Will have antennas for 6M too. Check 50.313 and 50.102. Pilot station is Nic, DU1NA: dx0ne.pagasa at gmail.com. He will send info on outside world goings-on. Internet on the island will be spotty and may only be able to check messages sporadically. Antennas will be the 160m/80m K5WZ Dual Resonance Horse Fence Antenna and SVDAs for 20-10M. Radio will be 2 x YAESU 991A.
Radios ready to go[APRIL 3] – Following on from the previous info below, Gil 4F2KWT will be active as DX0NE from Kalayaan, Spratly Islands, AS-051 during April 30 to May 9, 2023. QRV on 160-6m. QSL via IZ8CCW. This will be a single op activity.[FEBRUARY 23] –  Team leader, Gil 4F2KWT, informs that he has renewed the DX0NE license and is in talks with a possible transportation provider. Gil says this is better than the one last year as there will be a higher weight cap (amp maybe). Will give an update when this becomes more solid.[NOVEMBER 24, 2022 – POSTPONED] – DX0NE team regret to inform the DX community that their planned trip Spratly has been postponed due to safety issues. They now hope to regroup and be QRV sometime within the first 6 months of 2023.
