      If anyone is interested the Team begins setting up Camp on the Island this morning 19 January
      Radios will most likely not be on the air until near end of today.
      Full radio Operations most likely before the end of this weekend.

      Clipperton is consider the 37th Most needed Country for those of us that Chase DXCC Awards
      It is Not one I need except I would like to work it on 160 meters and will strive to do so while this team is there.

      The callsign for this Dx pedition is TX5S
      Please ensure you use Split Operation while attempting to work them.
      Like all rare DX they will be transmitting on one frequency and listening up about 5 Khz.
      If you transmit where you are listening, you will be causing a lot of QRM and a lot of ops will Not like you.

      Cheers!

        To see a list of Dx scheduled to be active during the current month
        DX Ops might want to consider use of the following toolset……..

        And don’t overlook use of ClubLog.ORG
        Just one of many tools……
