Where to look for us?

Obviously, we are at the literal bottom of the sunspot cycle. Not the best time to go to Spratly from that standpoint but we are taking advantage of being “nearby”.
We don’t expect SFI over 71. The K/A looks good for the Saturday through Tuesday period. Wednesday through Friday may be more disturbed and then Saturday may again be good.
Therefore we will be heavily concentrating on the polar paths for the first half of the DXpedition and turning more towards and EU focus in the second half. EU has much longer windows to Spratly anyway, so during the whole time there will be plenty of open paths to EU. Obviously, JA, Pacific, Africa and South America as well.
Please use this as a planner for when to spend time to look for us from North America. We cannot guarantee that we will have 160 or 80 up in time for the first evening. We will concentrate on having 10 – 40 up first. If we have enough time before the first sunset openings, we will put up 80. If not, both 80 and 160 will go up on Sunday.
