We’re packing all necessary items for a three-days staying on Plane Island AF-091. Tomorrow morning we’ll embark for the island. Operations will be with 2 stations, mainly on 20 and 40 meters.
QSO policy:
Please IOTA hunters remember only ONE QSO on whatever band/mode is enough for your score, avoid multiple QSOs in order to give a chance to more stations to work AF-091.
This is a time-limited operation so we aim to reach the highest unique callsign rate, to satisfy AF-091 request.
We’ll prefer split operations, 5 to 10 up.
Outside Europe / Japan QRV will be announced from time to time.

So far the team has been completely insensitive to the West Coast of NA–40m during our daytime, etc. To work W6/W7, be QRV at the following times:
17m, 1800 to 2000Z
20m, 2130 to 0100Z (may or may not be reliable)
30m, 0100 to 0600Z (probably the strongest and most reliable)
40m. 0230 to 0530Z
7V2PI was worked here on 20 CW yesterday at 2122Z and then got louder.
Remember, there is life after Europe! You are telling people to work you ONCE, but you offer them multiple bands and modes, so of course they will call again and again.
The success of an IOTA trip is measured by the number of unique callsigns, not by 20 QSO’s per callsign.
I must agree with Garry. This IOTA dxpedition so far is one huge disappointment.
Hi to all we are active now see you in the band mny Dx
We are on the air.
Sorry for long time (the weather is not good and problem for transport with boat).
good dx.
The team
Is any CW operation planned?
No luck so far.
Please – 30meters might be the answer for Midwest USA.
So hoping for 30m active 2330z- 0200z.
If no 30m please 20m 2100z – 2200z best for Midwest USA
