VK9ML

Adam, VK4CP scrive:

Dopo tre giorni di navigazione il team VK9ML e' sbarcato sulla spiaggia di Mellish Reef giovedi' 19 Aprile alle 23:21UTC.
C'era preoccupazione circa il fatto che Mellish Reef poteva non esistere piu' sono passati alcuni anni dall'ultimo DXpedition e ci sono stati molti cicloni in quell'area geografica recentemente.
Mellish Reef e' solamente 1 metro al di sopra del livello dell'alta marea , esattamente come e' accaduto quando il team e' arrivato. Ci sono state spot di attivita' in 20M CW con VK9ML tra le 1130 - 1945 UTC 19 Aprile ma questi qso sono stati fatti con una stazione Pirata.
La squadra non preveder di essere QRV fino alle 0400z del 20 Aprile.
Per maggiori dettagli sul Mellish Reef e per seguire la DXpedition date un'occhiata al sito web;

Adam, VK4CP write:

After three days of sailing the VK9ML team has landed on the Mellish Reef "beach" Thursday 19 APR at 23:21UTC.
There was some concern that Mellish Reef may not exist as such anymore as it has been a few years since the last DXpedition and there has been several cyclones in that area in recent years.
Mellish Reef is only 1 metre above high tide, as was the case when the team arrived.
There have been spots of 20M CW QSOs with VK9ML around 1130 - 1945 UTC 19 APR. These have been with a Pirate station.
The team doesn't expect to be QRV until around 0400 20 APR.
