Clipperton island is a place where you can see how much impact man has had on land and environment. Seeing the trash washed up on shore when I was on Kure Atoll in 2005 was nothing compared to what is on Clipperton. There are shoes, fishing nets, pieces of buys, lighters, bottles (both plastic and glass), tires and much more.

We are getting problems on 160 meters because our RX antennas did not arrive with us here.
We are working with a inverted L as TX-RX antenna and QRM and QRN are heavy.
This evening we'll be all night on 30 CW and 40 CW. 30 meters station will do QSY time to time to 160 meters.
Tomorrow 20th, RTTY station will be on 20 meters again from 05:00 to 07:00 UTC beaming to Japan and later we'll try VK-ZL via short path.
Our webmasters are working hard to get our online log ready but please, remember they are recovering everything and they are doing it from here. Our online log on real time project maybe will do as we had projected if they can start it from here.
There are some spots on DXcluster from a pirate station working as 9X0R on 40 meters CW 19/03/2008 between 01:56 and 02:11 UTC when we were on 40 SSB.
