RE: [DX-CHAT] Clipperton Group
The word from multiple sources (including FO5A/MM) is that final logs will be posted after their arrival home in CA. The trip takes about 5 days, so I wouldn't expect them to be up until near the end of the week. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of T.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Clipperton Group
The satellite phone they have requires a beamed signal to the satellite and in the rough sea with the ship rocking and rolling they can't keep a connection. It worked fine when they were on land.

And for those with selective memories that want to say but they uploaded from the ship while they were on the WAY to Clipperton let me excerpt the website: In true ham spirit, we did what they said could not be done...connect to the satellite while in motion. We had an excellent connection and now expect to be able to update our website daily before we get to Clipperton...so keep watching THIS PAGE!! They also mentioned calm seas and beautiful WX at that point. 73 Dan Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
Re: [DX-CHAT] Clipperton Group
Well, the reason I asked was that I assumed it could be done from the ship. The VP6DX group made their final updates that way, and the Clipperton group was updating their page while they were on their way to Clipperton. So, I wondered why it was different. I didn't mean it to be deemed a naive question.

Re: [DX-CHAT] Clipperton Group
The VP6DX group was using a phone from a different satellite phone company and it uses a different technology. The Clipperton group had very calm seas on the way down and were able to keep a connection but that's not the case on the way back to San Diego. Dave - K4SSU - Original Message - From: T.
