The Spratly Islands are claimed by several countries. The appropriate
call sign would be by the country that issues the license for that entity.

Great! Yet Another Pacific DX-pedition that comes on TB 30 minutes
after my sunrise in the Eastern Caribbean.
I lost even a chance for 4 new ones this season because of the operators
in the Pacific DX-peditions refusal to look at my Grey Line and
concentrate on NA big guns. Oh well.
Herb,
Herb,
You simply have no common darkness with 9M0L this time of year.
KV4 sunrise: 1002Z
9M0L sunset: 1033Z
KV4 sunset: 2236Z
9M0L sunrise: 2211Z
What do you want them to do ? Change the declination of the earth's axis ?
This is no different than the Kerguelen DXpedition a few years back.
30 minutes of daylight overlap is not too much, and there should be a
really good chance of a contact. I agree with Herb, starting at 1010z
instead of bang on their SS at 1033z, would give him a real chance,
especially if done over several days. I have had many good DX contacts
20 min before
There isn't even any common darkness hours between Alabama and 9M0,
although there is a few minutes of common twilight.
I guess you don't want to hear my complaining about common darkness
on topband.

Steve,
In all due respects: Common twilight is great for 160 meter DX
especially over the SSW path wherein the path hugs the Greyline. In
fact there are very excellent peaks during this short window. I have
done this many many times with VK6HD and it works even at this time of
year. VK6HD
I agree that the opportunity is there if you can convince the other end to
start early.
