Other days will be family time, and completely dependent on what we are doing while exploring this island paradise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Station<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plan is to take a 500W station with a vertical folded monopole for 40m &#8211; 6m, which with a tuner may prove partially effective on 80m as well. The principle activity will be on digital modes (so I can operate when the family is asleep) but there will be some SSB activity as well. The rigs will be an Elecraft K3+KPA500+KAT500. The antenna has been designed and built by Steve VK5SFA.

I am in particular planning on being active during the CQ WW RTTY contest on the weekend of the 23rd\/24th of September. Last day will be Monday 25th of September (as we fly home on Tuesday 26th via New Zealand).<\/p>\n<p><strong>QSL Details &amp; Website<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will be arranging QSLing via OQRS (service TBC) and provided the Internet feed is reliable enough I hope to post logs daily (I am told it operates a bit &#8220;when it feels like it&#8221; so not sure just how good or bad it will be). An expedition Website is under construction and should be available in a few weeks.

Other than that, leave from work is booked for everyone so as far as we are concerned we are going!<\/p>\n<p>Wish me luck, and hope to hear you all on the air from the South Pacific!<\/p>\n<p><HR width=\"50%\"><br \/>\n<center><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><\/p>\n<h4>Version traduite en Fran\u00e7ais via Google Translate<\/h4>\n<p><\/span><\/b><\/center><br \/>\n<b><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Le 25 Juin 2017<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>NOUVELLES MISE \u00c0 JOUR<\/b> &#8211; Grant VK5GR &#8211; Ce sera un DXpedition style de vacances d&rsquo;un homme avec sa famille, et ainsi de fonctionnement sera parfois limit\u00e9e.
