South Cook Islands as E51WET on 60m by Magnus, SM6WET
Magnus,
SM6WET, has authorization and will attempt to operate 60 meters while in the
South Cook Islands as E51WET:
·
December 14-16 on Rarotonga
Island
·
December 17 - January 4 on Aitutaki
Atoll · January 4 - 9 on Rarotonga Island again
Magnus reports that the Aitutaki QTH
will likely be more conducive to operation on the lower bands, although he will
not know specific details until his arrival. As with many expeditions, extra
baggage can be very expensive. One additional bag results in a surcharge of $520
for this trip -- a big hit for any expedition, but particularly noteworthy for a
one-man expedition. Donations to help offset excess luggage costs can be made to
sm6wet@telia.com on PayPal. Every little bit
helps and would be greatly appreciated. Be sure to include your call and mention
60m in the PayPal comments section.
Many thanks to Joe, W8GEX.
