Absolutely OT but I thought I'd pass it along; the upcoming FT4JA DXpedetion to Juan De Nova has some good links on their web page including http://www.juandenovadx.com/en/track-us-in-real-time/
I took a look at the island (habited) and saw the smaller island on the satellite view & wondered about its NW coastline so was checking it out and noticed at the far north part of the straight coastline, a broadcast station with obvious radial marks in the ground. Now that... would make one fine antenna. And continuing off topic and speaking of fine websites, you might want to check out the current VK0EK, Heard Island website. While its all good, what is most impressive is their real time log page. I've never seen anything like it and it will have to cut down on SLIMs and dupes. It leaves no question where they are operating, who they worked within the last minute and what directions they are working DX in. Type in your call and enter and you see what bands you've worked them on. Leave your call in there and when you work them on a new band, a pop-up window tells you so within 1-2 minutes of working them. One hell of a desolate place. I scouted around it with google and couldn't find any sign or previous habitation. Normally there's some whaler's shacks but if so, I couldn't find them. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Heard+Island+and+McDonald+Islands/@- 53.0998772,73.3977204,24585m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0xb301524b88922bf d:0x261ddac2e5b3767e or click here: http://tinyurl.com/zemgpc2 Oh, and the news from Heard is they are hopefully getting their 80 & 160 antennas up today. 73, Gary KA1J _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
