Atenção:

The team will be using some unique operating practices
you should be aware of.
1. Station assignment: With 7 stations they can’t be on
every band/mode 24/7. Stations will be assigned to band/modes
at times that will help achieve geographical balance.
2. The “10 minute check technique”: On the higher
frequency bands openings to distant areas may be weak, with
spotty propagation. It doesn’t make sense to call “CQ EU”
during periods when no EU signals are present. Ducie Ops will
use the “10 minute check technique” working the pileup of
louder signal (e.g. NA) but stopping every 10 minutes to ask for
EU or other areas.
3. “Check back later” technique: On the lower frequency
bands openings to the most difficult regions of the world are
more predictable. Following grey-line propagation the logical
approach is to ask the NA stations to “check back later” near the
end of the EU opening. At 0730Z very few EU signals will be
left on this band, but there is still over 6 hours of propagation to
NA. Low band Ops will ask for EU until about 0700-0800Z
announcing every 10 minutes that they will be ready to work NA
at (for example) 0730Z. NA DXers should “check back later” at
the announced time.
Announced operating frequencies to be used are, 3502, 7002,
14002, etc. on CW and 3784, 7099, 14172, etc. for SSB.
