T32C- East Kiribati

 I have managed to work T32C on Line Island ( East Kiribati) on five bands SSB so far. Conditions were just OK Friday night so I was relieved to snag them on 20m and then saturday night the bands were fantastic and I added them on 10m,12m,15m and 17m all within 2 hours! Neat! I checked later for openings on 40-160m but heard nothing from the group -so off to bed. I still hope to contact them using RTTY and should stand a good chance because their website-- http://www.t32c.com/ says the expedition lasts until October 26th!!
   They are sponsored ( affiliated) with the Five Star Dxers Associatonand i have to say all the operators have good "ears" and a very pleasant on air personna! Thanks to all the hard work! Good website and excellant Dxpedition!!  Also ,happily LOTW users!!

Emblem courtesy of http://www.t32c.com/    Also a little confusion between Line and christmas Islands. Some info says East Kiribati is Line-- this emblem obviously shows it as Christmas Island .HRD logging shows it as East Kiribati.  Leave a comment to clarify if you understand the difference!!
   UPDATE-  finally found time to read more about this expedition and turns out there are two christmas islands! This one and one more famous, also its own DXCC! Kiribati christmas Island is part of the Line islands!Different DXCC. So now i know!!
