Default Heard Island - VK0JJJ

I've been seeing some spots today for VK0JJJ on Heard Island on 28525. That's
about 11200 miles from my location.

I hope to hear them when 10 meters opens up here.

I'm not real big on Antarctica geography, but I believe that VK0JJJ is
not Heard Island, which is uninhabited.

VK0JJJ is located at Mawson station, Mac Robertson Land, Antarctica,
which is an inhabited Australian research station that may be seen he

The last expedition to Heard Island was VK0IR circa 1997 -- and
fortunately I've got their QSL. Worked them 30 meters CW and 20 meter RTTY.

Default Heard Island - VK0JJJ

Heard Island is not active at this time. However, a DXpedition is planned
for it in 2016. It was originally scheduled for this year then next year,
now it's 2016. More than likely money is a factor. The recent FT5Zm
operation had a budget of $450,000.

Here is their website: http://www.heardisland.org/
