#60m Clipperton Island worked

Worked the first ATNO for 2024 on 60m this morning. I already did read a posting on facebook that their signal was incredible on that band. So this morning just before I left for the job I just tried and within a few minutes I was in the log. I also worked them on 17m this evening. 


Although the JTDX software doesn't know where TX5S is located, most of us know. Just look it up in QRZ.com and you got all the info.

An interesting read is the wiki page of Clipperton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipperton_Island

TX5S is not the first DXpedition on Clipperton, most of the DXpeditions also in the past include scientific research on the island. TX5S is already mentioned on the wiki page.

Hello Bas,
Congratulations on getting Clipperton. I hear them all day on 10M SSB in the SE USA. Haven't been able to crack the pileup but I will continue to try. Typical on SSB in that folks don't listen before they call so lots calling on the TX frequency.

73,

Hello Don, yes it is a mess on SSB. I tried on 10m CW but most of the time I get tuners that are on his QRG. Well good luck, in the end you will get them, I'm shure. Good luck, 73 Bas
