Radio Amateurs members of Yaguarete DXers Group were active from San Andres Island, IOTA NA - 033, as 5KØT during November 2017. Bob Schmieder participated in this expedition, although it was not organized and managed by Cordell Expeditions.
The team included:
LU1FM Jose Luis (Joe) Team Leader
LU9FHF Daniel (Dan)
LU2JCW Andres (Andy)
LU3FMD Walter (Wally)
LU6FOV Fernando (Fer)
KK6EK Robert (Bob)
The main reason for Bob joining this particular expedition was to bring his proprietary software DXA, which enables radio amateurs to confirm that they made a successful contact one minute after making it.

One day we took off and went to a cay beach a mile offshore.
