This side doesnt favor "going North" paths but seeing as I cant see to guarantee which way the signals come from I dont its too bad a location being less than a mile from the coast. Rx antennae will be a "steerable" K9AY + pre amp being deployed to reduce the likely qrmn. Rx tests continue here at the moment but it will be the TS870/850 or FRG100 - these dates may coincide with some other LF tests but dont let the fact its summer in Eu and winter in Oz/nz stop any experimentation. DCf39 will be used as the LF Eu beacon. I maybe able to upload Argos' to my present website http://myweb.cableone.net/flow if I can get more than 9.6K out of the landlines. Talk back on HF is likely but Im still (since Jan!) waiting for the callsign - the ministry has just moved and a lot of applications have been mislaid including mine. Im on the island to set up an mulitsite HF net and teach some of the charity staff what a dipole isnt. (http://www.raleighinternational.org.uk) so this isnt just a ham dxexpedition and time will be shared - I also hope to sit on a beach for a while with my wife! More when I have it. Future expeditions to Southern Patagonia in October are likely but I know I have the Andes in the way for a lot of directons, but there again it didnt stop Eu reception in the centre of the volcanoes in Costa Rica.
