On our 2nd day of operation, qso's now total 30,225. Operations on March 10th
continued without any significant interruptions from mother nature (finally!).
Good pile-ups were seen on all operating frequencies. Yesterday we focused on
European openings per our operating plan where Clipperton is high on the most
wanted list. Paths to the USA are open almost all the time on a variety of
bands so we really want to focus on Europe and other hard to reach areas when
propagation is possible. This is why we landed on the north side of the island
in the first place. So we know the USA operators will understand why at
certain times we are operating only Europe or outside the USA.
When the paths are open to EU, we're hearing all of Europe extremely well, very
strong signals. We're finding that our Q rates rise significantly when
stations call only once or twice and use complete calls. Signals are so
strong, with no qsb or noise on our end, that we can often quickly pick out
several complete calls and work more stations. If we all work together, we can
get more people in our logs.
