Amateur Radio from the Spratly Islands
# 3 - Third activation - 1S1DX
08.-12. April 1979, Barque Canada
Once back in Brunei, N4WW headed home... KP2A (VS5KV) and I decided to stay in Brunei and operate from there, and provide communications to the Banyandah during their second attempt. K4SMX, K1MM and VK2BJL headed back out to try to find an uninhabited island in the Spratly's to operate from. 1S1DX eventually came on the air for about 70 hours, making over 13,000 QSO's from Barque Canada Reef; a 30 foot wide sand cay. (I finally made it to the Spratly Islands 18 years after the first attempt, 1997, and again 1999, with 9M6OO.)"
