XZ0A - What a tremendous signal on 80m ssb, very often for 3 to 4 hours at a time. Just a pity they listened up .. into the DX window, making it unusable for those listening for other DX.

I was surprized that the few times I heard XZ0A that the signals were always weak, but I got through once with 100 watts and vertical antenna. Good job to the DX-pedition team.

Most incredible pileups I have heard in 22 years on the air. From southeast USA, it took hours to get thru at times during the first few days they were on the air, but it then got better. Congratulations to the DXpedition for their fine effort.

Heard 'em, couldn't work 'em. My peanut whistle and dipole couldn't get through the hundreds of guys and gals running 1500+.
