Hardy, DL7JLL, will be active from two incredible Pacific islands in a unique DXpedition scheduled for December 18, 2024 to January 15, 2025. He will operate from Mangareva (IOTA OC-063) and Pitcairn Island (IOTA OC-044), providing rare opportunities for contacts on these often-difficult-to-reach locations.
Details:
- FO/DL7JLL – Mangareva (Rikitea village)
- VP6JLL – Pitcairn Island (Adamstown)
- Operating Equipment: KX3 transceiver with a small 50W amplifier, and an inverted V antenna
- Bands: 10m, 15m, and 20m
- Mode: SSB only
Why This is Special:
- Mangareva is part of the Gambier Islands, an idyllic group in French Polynesia.
- Pitcairn Island, one of the most remote inhabited places in the world, is famously known for its historical ties to the HMS Bounty mutineers.
This DXpedition promises to be a fantastic opportunity for those chasing new IOTA and DXCC entities. Keep an ear out for FO/DL7JLL and VP6JLL on the airwaves in the coming weeks!
