The April 2007 DXpedition to Scarborough Reef
DXCC ENTITY: BS7H

Second station operational

As the day sets on Scarborough Reef, they finished operating position 2 and made good progress on the third operating position.

As a result they are now able to man two stations during the hours of darkness.. and it is pitch black out there.

After daybreak today, they can finish a third station and increase operations further.

Both stations have SteppIR verticals and no 80 or 160 mtr antennas have been erected yet.

The reef is extremely hazardous making the setup slow and the heat is oppressive further tiring the team. At low tide the rocks are unreachable by the skiffs.

We get a daily update and are not in constant contact with the team. If we don't answer your emails it is because we know nothing further than what we publish.

Thanks for your understanding.
