The Dateline DX Association is very pleased to announce significant progress in our planning to operate in 2018 from KH1, Baker Island National Wildlife Refuge, the 4th most wanted entity in the DXCC program.
We have executed a charter agreement with a ship, the Nai’a out of Fiji with an anticipated arrival at the refuge during the 3rd week of June, 2018. We intend to be at the refuge a total of 12 days with 10 days of operations. This ship and dates were chosen in consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife service based on availability of their resource monitor, avoidance of the cyclone season, and Nai’a availability.
Propagation forecasts look favorable for HF to Western Europe (a large target audience for us) during this time as well.As with any DXpedition to the really rare ones, this will be another financially demanding operation. The 11 operator team will contribute over 50% of the expected budget of $400,000. You can help make this DXpedition happen by visiting our new website, http://www.baker2018.net/ and contributing today
We wish to thank the US Fish and Wildlife Service for their trust in our group to safely and responsibly activate this rare location.Don Greenbaum, N1DG, Tom Harrell, N4XP, and Kevin Rowett, K6TD co leaders
****UPDATE – Due to a series of unexpected complications, the 2017 ZS9V Robben Island expedition has been moved to International Lighthouse weekend over 19/20 August. We will be running two SSB stations.*****
The team are ready in South Africa for their second activation of Robben Island, IOTA AF-064.
ZS9V will be qrv from 9 – 13 August 2017 as ZS9V operating on 80, 40, 20, 15, 10m SSB, CW & Digital Modes.
”We have a bigger team this year consisting of Jan ZS1VDV, Paul ZS1V, Andre ZS1AN, Johan ZS1A, Pierre ZS6A and Oleg ZS1ANF so the operation will be longer and allows us to use CW for the first time. We hope to see you in our logs!”
