DXCC Entities and IOTA Activations

The DXpedition will begin approximately 0800Z on March 22, 2008. Expected shutdown will be 0000Z March 30, 2008. There will be a station on 160M or 80M CW from 1030Z – 1300Z and
2100 – 2300Z daily.  At other times in darkness we will be varying bands and times. Sunset in Spratly is 1040Z and Sunrise is 2240Z by the middle of that week. Since omnidirectional verticals on the beach will be used, be sure  to check long path and short path for the strongest signals. The operators will be moving bands frequently to take advantage  of any shorter band openings. We will be using 100W so if you can hear us at all, give us a call.
