１１月３日から運用が始まっているので、もうすでにペディションも終盤。
しかしどのバンドも結構たくさんの局が呼んでいる。
私もまだ７ＭＨｚでＱＳＯができていない。月末のＣＱ ＷＷ ＣＷで運用してペディションを終了する予定のようだ。
今回は特にローバンドに力を入れているとのことだ。私も、とりあえず、昨日３.５ＭＨｚのＣＷでＱＳＯができた。

TX3A has been on the air from Chesterfield Reef since November 3, 2009. This is another simple low-band DXpedition by AA7JV and HA7RY. We intend to go QRT on Nov 30 at the end of the CQWW CW contest. Weather, however, could delay our departure, and there is a small chance that we may operate for a few days past Nov 30. Please check the News Updates for the latest information.

We do have a strong low-band focus. Our priorities are 160, 80 and 40 meters, in that order. We are active on the higher bands the rest of the time. We are also active on RTTY, on 40, 20, 17 and 15 meters.

８０ｍＳＳＢのマナーが特に良くないようだ。
ローバンドのＳＳＢには、それなりの設備、パワー、キャリアを持ったＯＭが多いと思うのだが・・・
私は８０ｍのＳＳＢ（７５ｍ）には近寄らないことにしているので、どんな状況だったのかは聞いていないが、だいたい想像はつく。
ＴＸ３Ａのオペレータからのアドバイスがおもしろい。これって、ＯＭに対して言うこと？
（１）スプリットを指定した周波数でチューニングを取るな！
（２）同じところに固まって呼ぶな。広がれ！ロングコールをするな！
（３）他の局にコールバックがあったら呼ぶのをやめろ！あなたのしていることはＱＲＭ以外の何でもない。たとえ信号が強くても、あなたのコールを取ることはない。
（４）ＴＸ３Ａが聞こえないなら呼ぶな！

以下、ホームページの本文
During the last two nights we have been operating SSB on 80 meters. The pile-ups on 80, however, were very messy and operating techniques by some (not by all) were very poor.
Remember, having a high QSO rate is in all of our interests! Here are a few operating tips:
1) Please don't tune up within the listening frequency span. (Curb you auto tuner too!)
2) Spread out! Tailgating rarely works on 80 because everybody hears everybody else and too many stations jump and end up calling on the same frequency at the same time. Pick a (relatively) clear frequency and call regularly. Don't call too long, but don't call too seldom either. As the operator tunes around, he will get your signal and he will be a lot more likely to copy your call. Remember, we want you in the log (correctly) as much you do!
3) When we are in contact with another station, or asking about another partial call, stop calling! All you cause is QRM. The operator WILL NOT SWITCH TO YOU, even if you are louder! He will try to complete the first QSO and all you do is slow him - and ultimately yourself - down.
4) Don't call if you do not copy TX3A!
