 ZL9HR update
|
| |
 |
Nine of the ten team members are in Invercargill, NZ with the tenth member flying in early Sunday morning.
The NZ Department of Conservation inspected all our DX-pedition equipment on Saturday and found everything to be in acceptable condition to be brought to the island, no exceptions were noted. The team knew what had to be done to achieve this rating and all was handled prior to shipping.
All the equipment was unpacked, inspected and many items were wrapped in plastic sheeting, in bins, or removed from their cardboard boxes. The equipment was placed in quarantine until Monday morning. A final inspection of personal items will be conducted on Monday morning at which time everything will be transported to the boat. A subset of the team then went to purchase 1,100 liters of fuel for the generators.
On Sunday afternoon we return to the DoC station for a briefing on working around the island's wildlife, safety and a review of the permit conditions. Today we met the DoC officer who will accompany us during the expedition.
The boat just arrived from Auckland Island where she took a DoC team to inventory penguins. We will meet the boat on Monday morning to begin the loading process. We are told the seas have calmed down after a storm recently passed through the region.
We are scheduled to sail shortly after noon on Monday. Once underway we will not be checking e-mail or any of the Internet blogs, all communications will be through the designated pilots.
Thanks for your continued support of ZL9HR.
73,
The ZL9HR Team

EL2A in CQWWCW
We are all ready for CQWWCW contest this weekend, the only one that matters in the annual calendar! Lee KY7M EL2LF has made some 200 RTTY QSOs; Mike KC7V EL2MF made some 250 160m QSOs with Europe and as far West as W6 this morning; Bud N7CW EL2WS made a few dozen 6 mtr QSOs but only as far North as the Med; Ned AA7A EL2ES has been busy on several bands but mostly ironing out problems at the five stations; John G4IRN EL2RN has been doing likewise with the compootas and I.T.; Fred G4BWP A65BD EL2WP exhausted himself building the antenna farm; Roger G3SXW EL2A has been master-minding the whole operation from his office in the bar. Tough project all round so we’ll need $50 OQRS per QSO to pay for our holiday (for the ‘Sense of Humour Challenged’ the last two sentences are both jokes). The hotel is now Chinese owned so it’s flied lice all the way!
10m – Force 12 4 ele mono-bander at 60’
15m – Force 12 3 ele mono-bander at 50’
20m – Force 12 3 ele mono-bander at 50’

PT0S "Team On the Rocks"
|
| |
|
Nov 11, 2012, St. Peter and St. Paul
We landed on SPSP yesterday morning. After many difficulties we have raised our main antenna and have one station operational. Spent last night on 160 with mixed results. Local noise on the main TX antenna is S9+10 dB and we can only work stations with signals above that. It is like listening to the output of a switching power supply. Will try to build RX antenna today. Conditions are too rough to build the planned remote RX antenna. We must wait for calmer conditions to swim to the remote rock called Cabral.
We have very limited Internet access so updates will be kept short.
