3Y0 - The weather cooperated and 3Y0X was able to get the remaining
three team members ashore along with the rest of supplies and
gear. At 15 UTC on 11 February they finally had a full complement
of people, equipment and supplies. They have seven stations on the

time, on-line logs http://www.peterone.com/p1log.html are up
through 16 February at 16.10 UTC (68,865 QSOs). In order not to
interfere with the ARRL CW Contest, 3Y0X will only work on the

for the QSOs he made as 5N0/OK1AUT, 5N0ZKD, 5N99ZKD and 5N0W during his stay

need a card should send their request direct only to David Klimosz, Paprskova

contacts made with 5N0W between 1999 and May 2000 only (contacts made after
