Well Steve, I sure will be filled with admiration if you get Pascua aeradio
from far off Holland, MI.
And if you actually ever manage to get them to QSL that I will be even more
over the moon for you.
I don't follow the WUN fella's anymore, but Pascua is a very rare catch
indeed and I can't ever remember anyone getting a QSL - so good luck and my
best wishes for that = I'm sure it will be a hard to beat first. A really
tough cat and mouse target requiring all the finest DXing skills.
My rarest QSL 's were Nandi and Cambridge Bay - both took over a year and
several desperate letters. In those days I didn't even have a tape deck, so
my reports were laboriously handmade.
Another interesting one was Coco's Island before they went off the air
permanently.

For the times of flights you have to look up the LAN airline schedules.
They
are the only scheduled airline flying there apart from the odd Chilean
airforce activity.
See www.lan.com
Ya, there are only one or two flights a day depending on the day of the
week.
Mark from Auckland NZ gave me the frequencies a year or two ago, but I
can
no longer find them = sorry.
One was 8867USB MWARA SP, and the other was 5 megs, perhaps 5643?
Working that freq. he found "Pascua Radio" and "Tahiti Radio" in Spanish
wkg
LAN a/c.
Yes, looking at my map, both those freq's cover SP including Isla da
Pascua.
