| till 09/12 | 3W9C: Con Son Island (AS-130) 3W - Jacek, SP5APW will be active as 3W9C from Con Son Island (AS-130)
from 30 November to 9 December. He is allowed to operate on five
bands; he will use SSB and FT8 on 20, 17, 15 and 10m with wire an-
tennas, and FT8 on 6 metres with a 3-element yagi. 'I am not a CW
operator', he says. 'However, if somebody hates FT8 and wants to
try CW with me, I should be able to manage it as a sked when there
is no pile-up'. His licence for 6m is limited to 53-54 MHz, so he
plans to operate split: listening on 50.313 or 50.323 and transmit-
ting on 53.313 or 53.323. I haven't tried yet to work FT8 with such
a wide split, but this is the only option to try to work IARU Re-
gion 1. If it doesn't work, I will simply work 53.313 MHz for Re-
gions 2 and 3, where the 6m band is wider'.

solidate the information from their region and send it to the Chief Pilot,
who will be in touch with the team on the island. The team will not be moni-

quests for log checks, busted calls, not in log, or schedules should be
submitted: https://groups.io/g/Clipperton-2024.

44% of the goal: 'the cash flow challenge is real, we must pay the bills
before we sail, we need your help', the team's Press Release #7 states. 'We
ask those of you who have not yet processed a donation to consider support-
ing the project before we sail on 11 January 2024': https://clip.pdxg.net/.
