K9-Bob poured me one too many glasses of Kool-Aid.    Have a KPA500 coming.

Congrats to all that put them in the log.  

Then next big one will be VK0EK, Heard Island in March. Hopefully the bands will be in better shape.

You will have to wear your hip waders, as the B.S. will be epic to say the least with bad behavior, DQRM, and stupid.

I am not sure I will be able to work this one myself, but I am certainly going to try.

What makes this one harder than the others?

Its 9190.6 miles away from my QTH.  Kind of like trying to work the dark side of the moon.

More like 11000 miles from Dallas.  Throw in a massive pileup and a bunch of DQRM, and it's going to be tough.

Anything between Africa and Australia (Indian Ocean area) is difficult for me.  A couple of years ago, I never heard Amsterdam Island....not even once.

I hate DQRMers.

If I caught someone in my neck of the woods DQRMing a DXpedition I would spray DQRMer on the side of his house as a warning.

If he persisted I would cut his tower and drop it across his house.

On a serious note, though. Illegal or not, if 5 or 6 of these jerks had their stations seriously vandalized then this shit would come to a screeching fucking halt.

The FCC doesn't do anything about it and when government fails to it kind of becomes our duty.

OQRS is open for business now.

$7.00 which seems a little high.

I generally toss major DXpeditions a total of $10 which seems fair enough as expenses for these soirees are high.

Bureau cards are still free, though.

It cost them almost $500K for this expedition.  Send them some extra and don't be a cheapskate like the Europeans.
