All DX requires some effort. The new Radio menu functions for 2016 are not out
yet or you could program radio to come on , auto find selected DX, auto split,
radio saveys rx of your call and sends tx with you callsign and then gives call
and 59 report when DX repeats your call, then logs the contact in your log and
sends you a text. The menu leaves the amp on for you.....wont be HF radio to me
when the advancements get that good :-}
Lookin Fw to going CooCoo for Cocos

If I can work Costa Rica with my dipole maybe I stand a chance to
work Cocos Island. I hope I hope. What bands so they plan to operate and how
long will they be there?

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.

I just want to point that that, for some of us, adjusting the antenna
involves rotating the house.
