2007 DXPedition to Scarborough Reef:
"THE APRIL 2007 EXPEDITION TO SCARBOROUGH REEF
DXCC ENTITY: BS7H
Latitude: 15° 07' N.
Longitude: 117° 45' E.
.
A multinational team of Amateur Radio Operators from the United States, Europe and Asia are poised and prepared to ensure that every DXer gets a chance to make a QSO with this rare entity. We will follow our propagation forecasts as closely as possible and utilize those bands that typically provide the highest productivity to the areas of the Eastern portions of NA, SA, and Western Europe who had limited windows of opportunity in past efforts.."

K0HB: "I'm a Sailor, gone now from the sea and the ships and the Shipmates that I sailed with. I miss them, and this site contains some of my favorite writings of shipmates contemporary to my time. If you were also a sailor, perhaps one of the stories I've found will strike a chord with you.
I'm also an Amateur Radio ('HAM') operator, primarily active on HF (160-10) with a preference for CW. Look for me in any contest, but especially in the November SweepStakes. "
