servers. Once at the server screen, simply type in your callsign and a list
of QSOs will appear.
9M0C PILOT STATIONS ---> Three pilot stations have been appointed. Their role
will be to channel communications to and from the team on the island.
Typically, they will receive comments (about band openings, the suitability
of the announced frequencies, etc) from the amateur community at large, and
will summarise the key messages to forward to the island. The team on the
island will also be able to pass information out to the pilots and the Chief
Pilot (G3ZAY) will keep the DXpedition Web site
(http://members.aol.com/spratly98) updated. The piolot stations are Martin,
