Graham – VK3DOG, Keith – VK3FT and Tony – VK3TZ are planning a radio
weekend away to Phillip Is, IOTA OC-136 on the weekend of 15-18 March,
2013. They have identified a farmlet which should provide a nice low noise
environment and a good take-off over salt water in nearly all directions.

They will be active on all bands from 160m -10m, both ssb & cw. Simple
rotatable dipoles on the high bands and full size verticals on 40m and 80m.
On 160m they should have a vertical array (22m tall) with some parasitic
elements, beverages and loops for receive.



They will probably be operating with only a single TX at a time but should
be active approximately 20 hours a day, with resting ops spending their off
time surfing, relaxing or sampling some beers or rum. .



Callsigns will be homecall /P. They are looking especially for EU contacts
on top band at their sunrise and also keen to work Stateside on 75m phone,
and ZS on 10m if band conditions permit.
