A Team of AD6E Al, G3KHZ Derek, CT1AGF Luis, K6MYC Mike and W5GAI
Skip will activate the very rare DXCC P2, Papua New Guinea
LATEST NEWS from Lance, W7GJ, dated 2008-10-20: Hello! I completed
with P29NI this morning a 1503 Z on 50.205. W1JJ and I were calling
him in the second sequence since his moonrise, but we were not
seeing any reply from him. Mick saw three sets of strong echoes
when he went back to receive and wondered who else might be calling
Mike... We both shut down when his moon reached 20 degrees elevation
and we had not decoded anything from him. As I was shutting things
down here, I noticed a decode pop up at 1543Z on the backup computer
that was still running.... SOURCE: Lance, W7GJ, [Magic Band EME]
