Alan VK4WR and Graeme VK4FI are
off into the pacific again for another go at six meters from Niue E6. Callsign
will be E6RQ.
Their visit is planned around the
southern hemisphere E season, arriving on the island 7th December for a 10 day
stay.
The equipment will be an IC-7000
and IC-706MK2 plus a solid state amp. Antenna is 4 elements on a 12 foot boom
which will be up about 25 ft.
Their last trip to Niue in April
2013 produced good contacts into Japan, China, Philippines, Hawaii and
Australia. They only had one contact into central America which was
disappointing as they’d expected more in that direction.
This time around they’ll will be
looking towards South America for the long haul plus of course VK and ZL.
QSL is to VK4FI
