Keep your ears open in the second half of March for activity
from VK9/Norfolk Island, site of the upcoming DXpedition Boot Camp. According
to
Newsline, budding DXpeditioners will get the opportunity to learn
from and operate with more experienced ops from an exotic locale between March
17 and 31. The camp, coordinated by Chris Chapman, VK3QB, plans to have
stations on the air from 160 through 6 meters, operating CW, SSB and FT8. There
will also be an opportunity for a SOTA (Summits on the Air) activation from
nearby Mt. Bates. The camp itself is free, but participants have to pay their own
travel and lodging expenses. At press time, there was no word on the call
sign(s) to be used. For more information as the time grows closer, visit <
