OC-171. Craig, VK4LDX/VK8PDX, will be doing his last visit to Magnetic
Island between April 17-20th, operating as VK4LDX/P. He'll
arrive in the afternoon and hopes to be on air around 0800z
using a Spiderbeam tribander on a 10m Spiderbeam mast, along
with a vertical and 40m dipole. This location is on a small
cliff and has a good water take off to North America on the
long and short paths, and Europe on the long path. There is
a hill blocking the short path to Europe and JA, but these are
the most reliable paths. The Spiderbeam still should be heard
on Asia and Europe short path. Craig will do updates during
the DXpedition on his Blog page at:
http://vk4ldxoc171.blogspot.com
He intends to operate from 2100-0200z and 0600-1600z each day.
