VU – India – 10.01.25

Team AU2V (namely (VU2RS, VU2TT, VU3DXA, VU3GDS, VU3TPW and VU3WEW) is planning a DXpedition to Sacrifice Rock (AS-161). This challenging island and highly sought-after IOTA group was activated only once, back in January 2002.
The team has received informal approval from local authorities and is awaiting formal confirmation to proceed, with the activation tentatively planned for the second week of February. “We have two CW operators and four SSB/digital operators”, Sarath, VU2RS says, “ensuring that we can run three stations simultaneously, if permitted, or two stations round the clock. We’ll be using a range of antennas, including a 40-6m beam, 6 and 10m beam, and verticals, to ensure maximum coverage and efficiency”. Donations to help offset the significant costs can be sent via PayPal to sarath[@]lven.in. A website is apparently under construction at https://au2v.vu2rs.com. QSL via M0OXO’s OQRS.tres with three stations. QSL via Club Log’s OQRS, or via DL2AWG; QSOs will be uploaded to LoTW three months after the DXpedition.
