Don Conlee WX5DC is a professor at A&M Atmospheric Sciences in Texas.
Don, along with class members, is actually on board of M/V Ocean Victory sailing to the South Shetland Islands/Antarctica .
He has sent us a message and some pics: -We finally got everything together and had a few FT8 contacts on 20m last night! We were using WX4/WX5DC. I hope that we will be able to try SSB tonight between 00Z and 03Z, ~14.243. The student on the attached pic is Katherine Forson KT5KMF.
We may operate briefly before dinner and hopefully for the sweet spot of 0-3Z. Winds have died down and snow stopped, so fingers crossed-.
We’ll keep our ears open … hopefully we can catch Don someway!
