- One of the last shots at Clipperton; TX5S on 12 meter SSB. They are very close to going QRT. Get 'em while you still can!
Transceiver: Icom IC-7610
Antenna: Mosley MP-33-NW
#TX5S
At least clipperton is a little more of an island than the joke of scaffold reef a few years ago. That was crazy.
Scarborough Reef (BS7) still exists on the DXCC list but has not been activated since 2007...and doesn't appear to be any time soon. 73! de WX0V
I am very pleased to share that I put the antenna back up, and have successfully worked 13 bandslots! FT8: 40-20, 15-10. CW: 30, 15, 10. SSB: 17-10
With just a 40' doublet at around 17' up, and max 100w. CW was performed with a decoder and the text to CW keyer in my IC-7100.
Haven't even watched the video yet but I'll do that now!

@@SuburbanDXing they did an absolutely fantastic job!
@@JosephVE3GKT They have kicked some ass, to be sure!
Worked them easily today on 10, 12, and 15 with 100 watts and a wire!
Nice job! Clipperton is an easy catch for us in NA but still, is not everyday DX...73! de WX0V
Aren’t they operating until Tuesday night, central time?
No...the latest info from their team says they are going QRT very soon. Most of the team apparently has already left the island. 73! de WX0V
@@SuburbanDXing yes….bummer. I miss read the webpage. Glad I got them today on 3 bands. If I hadn’t watched your video I would have been looking for them on Monday.
@@thork0tjt515 Glad I could be of service...Clipperton will get activated again, but why wait 8 to 10 years? Great that you worked it now...73! de WX0V
The split cops never ID.
That's right. At least on SSB, you might be able to recognize a voice, but on CW, they are totally anonymous...73! de WX0V
