VP6R PITCAIRN ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Updates). The following was posted
on the VP6R Web page (https://pitcairndx.com/news-and-updates/), August
14th and 17th with pictures:
* August 14th: Today the RV Braveheart completed the loading of its
cargo, including all our Pitcairn Island Dxpedition equipment. Our
Flex radios, ACOM amplifiers, Yagi and vertical antennas, masts,
feedlines, computers, network gear, tools, and our personal luggage
is all aboard and securred. The vessel will depart Tauranga, New
Zealand early next week.
We’ve had a slight change in plans which benefits everyone. The
Braveheart will make a preliminary stop at Pitcairn on September 6th.
Our gear will come off the vessel and be stored on the island until
we arrive on about October 17. This should get us on the air faster
and circumvent any potential weather delays.
Things are moving quickly now and our team is anxious to get under-
way. If you’ve supported us, we thank you. If not, please consider
doing so. Cash is flowing out very rapidly now. No matter what, let’s
do this thing and have some fun!
* August 17th: Here are some images taken during the arrival of our
sea container at the pier and the transfer of our gear onto the
Braveheart. It has yet to be stowed and secured. Nigel and a friend
are seen seated in the container. Matt Jolly, Nigel’s son, is in
the “selfie” with our gear in the background. The lattice tower
sections are part of the DX Engineering ninty foot 160 meter vertical.
A complete Flex station is inside nine of the black Pelican cases.
VP9, BERMUDA. Josh, W9HT, will once again be active as W9HT/VP9 from
Bermuda (NA-005) between October 12-15th. Activity will be on various
HF Bands including 6m using SSB, CW, and FT8. QSL via his home callsign
direct.
W4, UNITED STATES (Special Event). Members of the Lake County Amateur
Radio Association (LCARA, N8BC) will activate special event station W4G
for the 103rd anniversary celebration of the National Park Service in
conjunction with the James A. Garfield Presidential Home in Mentor, OH.
This Callsign was chosen so that they could use the phonetics on Phone
of “Washington For Garfield” (Washington 4 Garfield). The celebration
will take place on the grounds of the Garfield Presidential Home on
Sunday, August 25th. They will have stations operating on various bands
and modes to make the special event callsign workable by Amateurs across
North America and possibly the World. They expect numerous stations will
be calling them to say the least!
KH0/WH0, MARIANA ISLANDS. Harry, JG7PSJ/JD1BMH/KW2X, will once again be
active as WH0RU from Saipan (OC-086) between September 15-22nd. Activity
will be on 40-10 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY. QSL via LoTW or direct
to JG7PSJ. For possible updates, watch: http://jg7psj.starfree.jp
