I'm hoping to gorge myself on Navassa, but one QSO from EP will be plenty.

Yeah right.  I'm sure you will sweep EP on all bands like you did on 7O2A.

I hope you're right, but I had the "fog of Contest" to help me out on 7O2A.  I'll have to face the European masses without cover on this one.  How about you, can you eat just one?

Of course not!  Please shoot me if I ever say I'll be happy with just one contact :D

I have three SSB contacts with EP on two bands and all of them were very difficult due to weak signals and a fairly modest EU and NA pileup.  I cannot imagine what it's going to be like with a full blown Dxpedition and the Zoo doors completely open :-[

Thankfully this is one of the few ones that I can relax and work them if I feel like.

Very nice.  Looking forward to getting on the radio once again.  I took a break after 1AØC.

How many of you need EP for an ATNO?

That would be me!

I'll be getting a late start with this one, as it turns out. I have a non-radio commitment up in Boston between Friday morning and Monday night, but I'll be in the thick of it on Tuesday morning, however! I'm thinking probably 3 or 4 bands given current propagation. I'm after CW and RTTY big time and any bands other than 20, where my one and only EP confirmation is on SSB.

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

Also looking for an ATNO.

I worked an EP2MKO station on 30m back in Jan 2001 but have never been able to get a confirmation despite multiple attempts.

Many thanks to these guys for putting it on.

Would be an ATNO for me (#322) but don't hold out much hope to work them from Sacramento on a 20m dipole or the vertical. Been chasing T6T (another ATNO) for a year and never have heard him.
Still, will be listening on the short path.  No chance predicted for the long path.

Hope springs eternal in the heart of the DX'er!

I got T6T one evening 20M CW with little effort while everyone else was calling the VU4.
First or second call. I did not get VU4 this time around.

I did some checking VOA/K6TU W5/W6 to VU4 and EP with vertical antenna.
W5 slightly better than W6 on EP. Guess who have to call through ?
W6 was much better to VU4 than W5. I used San Diego kind of DM12 and my area EM22, same latitudes.

VOA does not seem to account for LP.

IMHO W5 and W6 are equally poor to many polar paths.
BTW W5 district across is same as Brussels to Moscow.

I need this one mobile, and hehehe on low bands.
Haha work EP mobile on low bands.
It might happen ?

Interestingly I moved W5 location to SW Texas EM00. VOACAP showed signals better there than my EM22.
Had a nice bright color bar for 12M ! Not for my locator on any band.

NIL 80M ? It can't be done, so says VOACAP.

Why do you get so worked up about this?  The vast majority of younger People in Iran are very interested in  becoming more westernized and closer to the USA, that's why the idiot Ahmadinejad was so unpopular. Even the supreme leader realized that the aging guard of the 1980s is losing control and needs to become more friendly towards the west.  The constant change is why ham radio should transcend politics and keep doors open.
