On 18th October 1924, the first radio communication contact between the UK and New Zealand took place between (G)”2SZ” at Mill Hill School, the station operated by Cecil Goyder, and (Z)4AA in Shag Valley, South Island, New Zealand, operated by Frank Bell.

Commemorative stations of ”ZM90DX” & ”GB2NZ” have been qrv for quite a while but from 11th to 18th October two other callsigns will be active, ”ZL4AA” from Shag Valley New Zealand and ”2SZ” from Mill Hill School in the UK.

Qsl for all four Callsigns is via M0OXO (OQRS preferred).

Chris VK3FY will be qrv from Phillip Island IOTA OC-136 (Victoria State Centre group) in the coming days.

This will be a short operation for around 24 hours and is expected between Friday evening 10th and Sunday morning 12th October local time.

Phillip Island, Australia is about 140 km (87 mi) south-southeast of Melbourne, Victoria. Named after Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales, Phillip Island forms a natural breakwater for the shallow waters of Western Port. It is 26 km (16 mi) long and 9 km (5.6 mi) wide, with an area of about 100 km2 (39 sq mi). It has 97 km (60 mi) of coastline and is part of the Bass Coast Shire.

Qsl via M0OXO (OQRS Preferred)

The DX8DX Qsl Card for Dindo’s recent operation from Pangutaran Island IOTA OC-188 is now with the printer at UX5UO QSL Print.

I hope the cards to be here in the next 3 weeks. You can request your Qsl Card by clicking here.
