C21HA – NauruThursday Jan 19, 2012
This morning, between 20-21 UTC we were working with Stateside on 12 meters. 1 kHz below our QRG someone was also making QSOs in our pile-up using and identifying himself with our C21HA call sign. We know that there are police stations, we know that tuning on the DX QRG can happen, we know that sometime there is interference on the frequency. We know that sometime pirate stations are working. We know that there are fake spots in the clusters, using invalid own callsign (like HA5DX, but we know the IP address). We know that very strong stations continuously make QRM on our QRG and/or in the pile-up window. However, this cheeky, insolent attitude of this morning surpasses every imagination. No words to classify this person. It is not simply annoying. It is far beyond the rude, impolite behaviour. It will make lots of stations disappointed, as they maybe exchanged reports with this pirate station. We are sorry about it. Is there anything further down? We spent a lots of our money to make other hams happy putting the C2, Nauru into their log.
That could help you to indentify the real C21HA: we always working with high speed CW, (35 wpm or more) on the higher bands, with 50 wpm rprt and TU. It may be helps.

Please try EU on 12-10meters 08.00-10.00 UTC, thank you !
Hello !!!
Thank you for your active work on the air.
Please do not use on 10m. frequency of 28014.00, and the 12m. frequency of 24900.00
here at these frequencies is very strong QRM.
Try to work at 80 and 160 m. This is the magic bands, there are miracles :-)
It is waiting for you at 10, 12, 30, 80 and 160 m.
Good luck to you!

Hello George & Pista:
Did the team forget to bring along a mike???? Or is cw the best mode for you to work from C21 ??? Just wondering since you placed S.S.B as one of your modes that you would be working there at the island of Nauru?? i’am waiting patiently for that mode to happen on some of the bands. And if it doesn’t happen on your trip, I’m sure it will happen another time this year from another DX pedition that goes there.
The main goal is to have fun. Good DX, and have a safe trip back.
73′s Gary
Keep up the great work. Hopefully 80 m and 160 m will cooperate some time.
Stay safe and have fun!
Hello, guys!
Ye, connect your microphone from time to time -)))).
Need SSB. It will be #338 phone credit for me.
Thanks in advance, 73!
Hello !!!
Only that the frequency of 3511.00 (a 10.40z) very well hear you!
But no sooner turn my PA – You did QRT.
Please do not forget to work on 80 and 30 m.
Thank you!

Great job! I wonder how difficult is to carry a DXpedition likes this.
I tried every day of this past week and no luck in receiving Nauru signal here in Brazil. Listening all the pileup, but never the DX station. But I listen every day Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Hopping you guys point the antenna to South America.
73′s

Good Morning from the center of Germany.
I was looking for you on 40m, but had no luck.
Hope to work you.
Best 73′s

Hello !!!
When I heard the slow speed CW on 80 meters, then thought it was a pirate.
But when you told me and gave my call sign slowly and the RPT and TU with great speed, I realized that this was not a pirate :-)
Good idea!
I think it will help to distinguish this from a pirate station.
It is waiting for a QSO with you on 30 and 12 m.
Thank you very much!
Wishing you a great deal of patience!

Hello !
Please try to work on 12 meters during the 05-07z for RusAS.
Thanks in advance!
73! de Andy/UA0BA
Hello !!!
Finally, we make a QSO on 30m.
I am very happy!!
Thank you so much!
It is waiting for you at 12m.
And is it possible to 160m. – Suddenly you’re lucky :-)
73! de Andy/UA0BA
no chance for eastern na on 30 meters too early !best time is around 1200 gmt if possible !
Sorry to hear of the problems, i just worked you on 20mtrs rtty, i just hope i worked the real c21ha!!
not sure if you got my call correct, as one of the returns had me as 5b4aht, hope this is of some help with your log.
My log is at 06:32 utc.
Regards Dave. 5b4ahl.
Hello Team:

Hello !
After another flash in the sun I closed all the bands!
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/k-index.html
But I hope very much that until February 6, I will pass and we will make QSO on 12 and 10 m.
and possibly up to 160 meters :-)
Good luck and patience!
We are all thinking of you!

Hi,
Once the A&K numbers are back to normal, please try 80M
earlier, starting 1345Z- for Northern Europe. You have been nicely active a few hours later, but it has been impossible to copy you then.
73 Joni OH2FT
I sure hope the high noise they are coping with on the low bands subsides enough to get a shot at 160 meters.
Pista and George are DX animals – they must not be eating or sleeping – always on and always keeping things moving – what a dynamic duo!
Good luck and I hope to hear you guys on 160 meters before you leave.
You guys are awesome and rock!!! Very professional ops and I’m glad to have made at least 1 qso with you. Hopefully more before QRT.
tnx for a new one on 15 meters ,new dxcc/iota !not afraid of high speed telegraphy !t send 40 wpm with a straight key and copy your 50 wpm easily !see u hopefully again on 10 to 30 meters if possible !you are very fb ops guys !! need your exp in the future yet ! tnx a bunch !
Hi all,
Those guys have great ears, even for the very difficult path with Western Europe, and despite of the low solar indexes that we have at this moment.
Tnx for yesterday’s QSO on 15CW where the opening was short (15min here) and where the signal was weaker than in the rest of Eu.
Let’s hope they’come on the low bands at Western Europe sunrise one of these days: We have more than 30min of common darkness in our morning (from 07:10 to 07:40z). Long path should work well on 40m, and this would be much easier than in our local evening where all Europe is calling…
In all cases, have fun, and keep up the great job guys !

Openings from here has been tough to C21-
God speed guys.

Hello !!!
Excellent DX-pedition and great result!
Thank you again!
Forward to new goals!
73! de Andy/UA0BA
So nice to see C21HA post logs to LoTW during trip. I do not agree with waiting 6 months like soem of the groups have adopted. I will support all the same but sure like to credits sooner than later. Best of luck to all.
Russ, K5OA
Very Happy LoTW user
