Amateur Radio Expedition March 2013
XR0YG – Easter Island
Between 20-27 March 2013, a team of British hams will be active from Easter Island on all bands 160m to 10m, mainly CW.
We will run the HF bands but we also plan to work challenging paths on the low bands, emphasis on Europe. We are using Elecraft K3s, small PAs and vertical antennas. Depending on the space available we will use a beverage or flag for RX on the low bands.
Our friends and fellow radio hams at the Radio Club de Chile (RCCh) have been invaluable in providing support to our operation, including licenses for the team members and expedition, as well as arranging special 30m permits for us. We are extremely grateful for their help.
We are delighted to help RCCh by making a donation of $500 for equipment and communications support that RCCh provides during natural disasters, such as earthquakes or tsunamis on islands such as Juan Fernandez and Easter Island.
