We'll give FT8 a chance, but we definitely prefer the man-made operating modes'.

TX5S: Clipperton Island (NA-011)

TX5S ---> The Perseverance DX Group's DXpedition to Clipperton Island (18 Enero - 1 Febrero 2024) [425DXN 1673] will have two operating camps: one for CW/Digital/Satellite/EME and one for SSB/Digital. 'The camps will be separated by about 500 meters, with CW located at the main campsite and SSB being the distant camp. The combination of distance, bandpass filters, horizontal and vertically polarized antennas at both camps will enable simultaneous operation on the same band'. The power grid will consist of six generators (five units on-line 24/7 and one spare); WiFi networking will link the camps and TX5S will have at least one Starlink terminal online 24/7, so logs will be uploaded to M0URX.com at least once per day. The nineteen person team consists of sixteen experienced radio operators, one scientist each from the University of French Polynesia and the Universi- ty of Orleans, and one environmentalist from the Association la Passion- Clipperton (France). The fundraising campaign is underway: 'our goal is always to split the expedition funding approximately equally between the expedition operators and the DX community - organizations and individuals. At the moment we sHasta have a long way to go to reach that goal', the team's Press Release #5 states. As most bills must be paid before the team sails, donations are gratefully accepted: see https://clip.pdxg.net/donate/. You can also follow TX5S on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tx5s2024.
