first several hours will be a big circus. i usually try to get them
right at the strike of the change but settle for a contact 2-3 hours
later when it has cooled down. by thursday and friday, they are all
calling cq with few takers.

I hope it's not as big a circus as DC has been. I managed to get one
CW QSO, and the call he sent back to me was in error.

If you haven’t had a reason to join in the fun for W1AW portable
operations, here is truly a rare opportunity.
Beginning tonight at 7 PM local time, W1AW/KH0 will be on the air
from Tinian Island in the Marianas, for you IOTA freaks like me
that’s OC-086. For you history buffs, Tinian and Saipan were made
famous in World War II as a forward air base for B-29 strikes against
Japan and as the origination point for both atomic bomb attacks.
Today, The Northern Marianas is a commonwealth of the U.S. similar to
Puerto Rico and its inhabitants are U.S. citizens.
If you worked W1AW/KH2, Guam , W1AW/KH0, is about the same distance
only slightly more westerly. According to Club Log, KH0 is not
especially rare DX. Its 198^th on the list of most wanted DX but for
the next two weeks it will be highly visible as part of the ARRL
Centennial W1AW Portable operation. If you don’t have KH0, or OC-086
in your log, don’t miss the chance.
Of course W1AW/4 Virginia and W1AW/0 Missouri will also be on the air
for a week starting tonight.
