I worked PY0TI on 20, 30, and 40 back in 1996, but I sent too small an envelope and they folded my QSL in half.  I'm looking forward to having a crisp card in my collection.   :)

Worked ZY0T in 2009, but only one phone QSO. Need a bunch of slots and CW.

Supposedly there is a submarine base there which is why who can activate it is limited. One of my QSLs for Trinidade is a photo of a submarine....so, maybe it's true.

Someone posting on DX World is either being tongue-in-cheek or a dickhead by suggesting they only activate on 160/80 m.

There hasn't been a serious activation there while I've been DX-ing the past several years.
This will be a tough path. Low bands not possible.

Let's hope it actually happens.

There's a chance of four ATNO for me next year, Navassa, Aves, Cocos and T&MV, so far!

I got PP0T on 10m in 2011, but wouldn't say no to some extra slots. Nice easy path from here.

LOL, Luke

Yeah, the poster on DX-W regarding "160/80 CW only" is real (but he likely is tongue in cheek) although his personal set up for those bands is damn good!

I need this one on all bands except 20m. PP0T bagged with great difficulty a few years ago.

More info released next year by the PQ0T team..

I know there are many that need these, but I'm striking out.

Are we still waiting for the "big announcement" or is it one of these?

I don't know G0JHC personally but we exchanged several emails some time ago to set up what would be a successful TB QSO and one of his last zones on 160m.  Very nice and gracious.

I'm sure it was tongue and cheek.

When I was living in Guam, it seemed like I had a pipeline into PY2 on 160m.  PT0S was very loud on 80 and 40 (some recordings I made here:  http://www.n2nl.net/?p=818).  I had good copy on 160m but not enough TX to be heard by AA7JV on the far end.  I suspect the same would be true for Trindade. 

Of course VK is quite a distance away on the opposite side of the equator.... and likely a much more difficult path.

Just needed on 30 and 160 here, though a few more slots would be quite welcome. In 2002 PW0T was the very first-ever DXpediton that I consciously went after and had 1st-day success with using only 100W and a dipole. Also worked PY1OTO/PY0T in 2006, ZY0T on a few new bands in 2009 and PP0T for just a Marathon point in 2011. I don't think it's been on since.

Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end until I reach Top of the Honor Roll

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

The backbone ridge of the island will be a factor for W6/W7 stations, not as bad as HK0 but will be a factor.
I just need one CW QSO for 333 on CW.
