YJ0, VANUATU
Bill Horner, VK4FW, President of the ODXG (Oceania Amateur Radio DX Group Inc.), is looking at the viability of running a 7 day DXpedition to Vanuatu (YJ0). Chris, VK3QB, will be the DXpedition leader and is in the process of finalizing a viability study. The emphasis will be on having fun, working some DX and handing out QSOs for what is still a reasonably sought after entity. Depending on how many people are on this DXpedition, the plan will be to run 2 stations using wire dipoles and verticals. They are aiming to make about 5,000 to 7,000 QSOs over the five days and nights of the operation. At this stage, they are looking at running this DXpedition in the 2nd half of August or first week of September.
Final details and stations/bands/modes will not be announced until they get to the next phase of planning and this won’t commence until Bill has at least 4 people on the list. This expedition will be limited to 6 people, so if you are interested please contact Chris, VK3QB, as soon as possible at vk3qb@wia.org.au or phone 0429 187 593.
