Re: [amsat-bb] K6PV/p Santa Catalina Is. DM03
For those of us trying to work all the grids in the lower 48 (similar to the Fred Fish award on 6m) it's one of the more difficult. ND9M/MM worked from there when his ship passed through, and that's the only operation I know of in recent times. The other tough ones have had some activity, like EL84 (K4T expedition) and EL58 (UT1FG/MM), but I think DM02 is the toughest.

Hah!
Had to look that one up, Drew.
I've cruised past it many times on the Sea Launch Commander when I worked for Sea Launch.

Is DM03 really that "rare"?
If it is, I'll get on the birds more often.

The fellow who helps to run the Iowa, David KJ6HZO, is in pretty good with the Navy.
Perhaps he could help to facilitate a DXpedition. I will ask him.
