Lord Howe Island DXpedition update

The VK9LA operation is on the air with all stations active. Operations will last until April 3rd.

The team has had some equipment problems: an ACOM Amp is dead, AL811H blew a tube and one IC7000 has failed after 2 days.

It was mentioned that the stations on 160 and 80 meters are running amps, but they are having extremely high static levels from the same weather system that has delayed the Mellish Reef operation. The team plans to stay on the lower bands always.

PLEASE NOTE: The online log search is also active now at:

QSLs are via VK4FW. An online QSL Requesting Service is now available at: http://www.odxg.org/qsl.htm

Any QSL CARDS managed by ODXG inc., or Bill Horner, VK4FW, can be sent to you utilizing this system. This is a FREE service if you request your cards to be sent via the BUREAU.
