A33A

TONGA, A3. Hugh, K6HFA is QRV as A33A from Niuafo'ou Island, IOTA
OC-123, until April 2. Of late, he has been active on 20 meters
around 0600z. QSL to home call.

IOTA NA-231

Cezar intends to operate from the island for three days between March 26 and 31. For this trip he has retained the services of two local guides. All the camping gear will be loaded on sleds towed by snowmobiles. Under good weather conditions, the travel to the island should take around 10 hours. Radio equipment will be carefully packed to minimize the severe beating it will take during transportation. Since the sled has no struts, the uneven ground surface will make it jump up to 30/40 cm and land hardly. Inside the tent, condensation will have to be eliminated before switching on the rig.

T7 in the test

During WPX SSB we will be active from San Marino Republic.
