They are enroute to Cocos and truly do not count for DXCC yet. When they
arrive and get set up on land, they will drop the /MM and then they will count.
But they get some pile-up practice time while on the ship. Willis 'Cookie'

div.yiv3128611933WordSection1 {}#yiv3128611933 I listened to Cocos this morning
on 24.960 and noted that the op is signing as TI9/3Z9DX/MM. If they are truly
/MM the contact does not count for DXCC or IOTA credit. Stations signing /MM
means they are in international waters; outside the 12 mile limit. In any case
DXCC and IOTA rules state DXCC Rule 8 All stations contacted must be "land
stations." Contacts with ships and boats, anchored or underway, and airborne
aircraft, cannot be counted. Exception: Permanently docked exhibition ships,
such as the Queen Mary and other historic ships will be considered land based.
IOTA Rule C.3.6Subject to C.3.7, Contacts with maritime mobile stations near
islands, whether or not they operate with a /MM call-sign, will not be accepted
for credit. This applies also to stations on board boat in harbour or anchored
close to shore. Think I will wait till they get on land. 73,Ron,

Subject: Re: [BVARC] Cocos Island soon on air True enough Jonathan, but at
least you can't rotate your house to the wrong direction. Cocos Island is near
enough that you should be able to work them, but a directional antenna and or
amplifier is always nice. I am without a good directional antenna these days,
but if the rain will hold off for a while I may be able to fix that. Willis

for some of us, adjusting the antenna involves rotating the house.
