VK9HR: Lord Howe Island 2011
The HARAOA Group are planning a major DXpedition to Lord Howe Island between July 23rd – August 2nd 2011
We are still looking for three more operators to join the international team for the July 24 – August 2nd DX ‘Pedition to Lord Howe Island. Additionally, VK9HR is looking for someone to serve as a pilot station for North America. Please visit our website and see all the info about the DX’Pedition.
We will have some of the latest gear with Kenwood USA and HRO helping with 3 x TS-590S. We’ll have SPE amps and antennas from 160-6mtrs with so much more and two different locations on the island. The cost is amazing at $1950AUD for the return airfares, taxes, 10 nights on the island and all the equipment there and ready.
The dates for the VK9HR activation have been revised to July 24th – August 2nd, 2011. This will allow the team to participate in the RSGB IOTA 2011 contest.
The VK9HR team will be on the Island for approx 10 days, and will be operating on multiple bands simultaneously to give everyone the chance to contact Lord Howe Island (OC-004 & VKFF-295).
The team will consist of some of the operators which took part in the VI2BI DXpedition (OC-212) back in February 2010 and the VK9NI DXpedition (OC-005) in July 2009.
The VK9HR DXpedition team leader is Tommy Horozakis VK2IR and co-leader John Chalkiarakis VK3YP.
