VI9, NORFOLK ISLAND. Bill, VK4FW, informs OPDX that everything is basically
in place for their special operation to Norfolk Island. All equipment is
about to be freighted in, and the following operators are all confirmed
(with 2 more still trying to finalize their travel arrangements): Ron/VE7NS,
Eddie/VK4AN, VK4DV, John/VK5PO and Bill/VK4FW. Bill states, "They still
have a spot for a good CW operator. As plane flights are very much full,
it is ever increasingly hard to actually get a flight between May 24th
and June 21st." The team fully realizes that this DXCC entity is not highly
wanted. However, they believe that the oportunity to be part of the 150th
anniversary of the landing of HMS Bounty Mutineers is a very special reason
to participate in the festivities. They will have 3 complete stations on
air for the total time they are there operating SSB, CW and RTTY. The
operators will make use of N1MM logging program which will keep all the
operators in touch with general propagation as well as grey line times.
There will be 2 QSL routes available to make sure that everyone has a
way of getting a QSL card. There will be 2 different QSL cards available
(one full color and one a standard single color). All direct QSL cards
are to go to: ODXG, PO Box 612, Childers, 4660, Australia. Donations of
5 USDs or more will get special priority when QSLing begins. QSLing will
be very quick. The other QSL route will be via the bureau address to be
supplied soon. Please note that 2 USDs or IRC are required for standard
postage. Envelopes received with insufficent postage will be sent via the
bureau system. The team would like to thank the following for their support:
ODXG, VK4CY, VK4NEF, VK6NKG, VK4FW, VK4AN, CAL-AV Labs, TET EMTRON and
VK3AJJ. Further donations are appreciated to offset the cost of freight.
