Updates from the Peter I DXpedition team!

18th February - 1900UTC

The weather cleared sufficiently to offload even more of the 'ready to go' gear - and four Team Members! Gary K9SG, Carlos NP4IW, Wayne KU4V and Robert SP5XVY are all safely aboard the ship.

The rest of us are working in consolidating loads for the helicopter and trying to elevate the QSO count even higher than the 81.9K Qs uploaded as of 1400utc today.

Even though Gary K9SG (our Team physician) is no longer on the island, we were able to persuade him to leave the defibrillator behind (just in case)!

Our current best estimate for on-air QRT is 1200UTC Sunday Feb 19

73's to all from The Peter I team!

3Y0X Operating Frequencies

It should go without saying, but: We will always be transmitting on/near the indicated frequency below and listening up the band (spread to be announced by the operator). Please do NOT call on our transmitting frequency!

Note: These frequencies have been selected to allow the Peter I Team to, on occasion, have three signals on a band at one time. We have taken steps to minimize inter-station interference by separation of operating sites and different antenna polarizations. Although these frequencies may vary some and may even be changed all together depending upon what we encounter on the island and on the air, they are a good place to start looking for us

* Please note that we will be offering digital QSOs on several bands but have selected 30m and 20m as "primary" digital bands. This is where you should look for us first
