Chatham Island DXpedition on-the-air

From the ZL7T pilot.

The ZL7T team has 4 stations operating now. Everybody is fine and enjoying the challenging pile ups.

Accommodation is fine, but the Internet is extremely slow dial up stuff.. at 16kbs!.. and intermittent.

As pilot I am receiving lots of "special requests" for 160m in
particular.. but everyone will have to take chances on conditions, hearing ZL7T and being heard by them on any band.

They were a very good signals today on 20m, 17m, and of course 40m.

While monitoring their activity, quite a few local stations are calling them on simplex. They will not hear you, as they are listening up the band a few khz.

Calling on ZL7T transmit frequency only attracts the attention of frequency "cops" and the associated QRM for all listeners... Please take care!
