VK9N, Norfolk Island
""""""""""""""""""""
A team of five Australian radio amateurs will activate Norfolk Island from
May 20-31st to coincide with the Wireless Institute of Australia's 2016
Annual General Meeting and conference, also being held on Norfolk Island.
Chris Chapman VK3QB, Brenton Vowles VK3YB, Luke Steele VK3HJ, Lee Moyle
VK3GK and Allan Meredith VK2CA will activate VK9NT from May 20-31st on all
bands from 160-10 meters, CW, SSB & RTTY.
Equipment will comprise two Kenwood TS-480HX transceivers and one Elecraft
KX-3 transceiver with a KPA100 amplifier. These will feed dipoles strung up
about 25-30 meters high between the majestic Norfolk Island Pines, and a
Sloper antenna for 160m. The team will also be activating stations for the
SOTA and WWFF awards programs.
It's worth noting that a WIA Commemorative Station VI9ANZAC will also
be activated over the AGM weekend. It will be a busy time with many radio
amateurs expected to be on the island.
