A Clean Sweep for Clipperton TX5K

I have been spending a bit of time since Monday trying to work the Clipperton Island DXpediton, TX5K, on all bands and modes.  I was finally able to accomplish that during lunch today, with a 10-meter CW contact completing the sweep.

10-meters has not been very productive recently, with the SFI low, but I had noticed a 30 to 90 minute window around lunch every day when I could hear TX5K (I had also listened around local sunset but never heard a peep).  So each day during my lunch break, I’ve called them.  Today, a day before they pack up shop to leave the island, I was finally successful.  Thanks to the entire Clipperton team and congratulations for making well over 100,000 contacts.  Outstanding job!
