ＢＳ７Ｈ ８０ｍ パイレートです

BS7H SCARBOROUGH REEF - On Monday the team only had two
stations QRV from two different rocks. The station on
80 CW was a pirate. Today they expect to put a third
station on the air from a third rock. Making spots on
the cluster saying things like "can't hear" are a waste
of time and bandwidth and do no one any good. VE3
stations were hearing them on 20 meters starting about
1210Z with peaking signals between 1245 and 1305Z.
Signals were gone by 1400Z. Multiple East Coast ops
reported good signals from the BS7H team during this
time frame, however the ops were having problems
hearing the US and VEs when they stood by for NA.
DXers from Florida reported the team was audible on 20
between 13 and 14Z. In central California signals were
peaking between 16 and 17Z on 20 meters. North Texas
stations enjoyed a short opening on 20 meter CW Tuesday
around 0020Z. Yesterday during the East Coast opening
the K index was 5. Several mid-Atlantic stations
worked them just before 19Z. Hopefully conditions will
improve over the next 24-48 hours. The guys were
reported Monday as follows:

ＢＳ７Ｈ

The guys have now been QRV for about 24 hours. They currently have two
stations on two different rocks. James and Mike were on Rock # 4 today
operating 20 SSB. It is believed that the 20 meter CW station is on Rock #
2. Plans are to get the third station up on one of the other rocks (1 or 3)
sometime tomorrow. Remember Scarborough Reef is 8 hours a head of GMT. One
of the problems the team is having is low tide. When they go through low
tide they can not put people on or off the rocks because the dingy boat can
not get to the rocks! So carefully planning for transporting meals, water,
fuel and most importantly the ops is needed. As of this time no decision
has been made as to when they will shut down. Conditions here seemed to be
down in comparison to yesterday. East Coast US stations should look on 20
meters today around 2100 to 2300Z as there was an opening Sunday at this
time.

やはりパイレートでしょうか？

４月３０日２０：００ＪＳＴの段階で、８０ｍと１６０ｍのアンテナはないとのこと。
２０：００ＪＳＴには既に８０ｍの運用がありましたよね。まして海の上のわずかな岩礁で夜間にアンテナの設置はないですよね。
もしかしてパイレートかも？
オペレータに聞きたいにも、時間のロスを与えますので・・・・。
ＱＳ　Ｂ４覚悟で呼ぶか・・・・？

As the day sets on Scarborough Reef they finished operating position 2 and made good progress on the third operating position.

As a result they are now able to man two stations during the darkness. AND, it is pitch black out there.

After daybreak tomorrow they can finish a third station and increase operations further.

Both stations have SteppIR verticals and no 80 or 160 mtr antennas have been erected yet.

The reef is extremely hazardous making the setup slow and the heat is oppressive further tiring the team. At low tide the rocks are unreachable by the skiffs.

We get a daily update and are not in constant contact with the team. If we don't answer your emails it is because we know nothing further than what we publish.

Thanks for your understanding.

パイレート?

下記のコメントにより、昨日の８０ＣＷをＥＵの連中はパイレートと言っていますが、当方は本物と思っています。
贋物が過去に数時間もオペレートしていたためしはないです。
ＷＦＷＬ・・・・・・・さてさてどうなりますか？
ログは、終わってから公開ですので、凶とでますか、吉とでますか・・・・。

The first QSO was made at 13:47 UTC 29 April.
