IOTA DXers plan special event station
-------------------------------------
A team of DXers - "The VK3 IOTA Group" - is preparing to celebrate the
350th anniversary of the death of a Dutch explorer with a special event
station VI5PN from St Peter Island IOTA OC-220.
The Island off the far west South Australian coast near Ceduna is within
the Nuyts Archipelago (Conservation Park), both named after Pieter Nuyts,
the Dutch explorer and East India Company when it was discovered in
February 1627.
VI5PN will be operated by Peter Forbes VK3QI, Keith Proctor VK3FT, Jack
Bramham VK3WWW and Max Chadwick VK3WT, 7-11 April, 40/30m with an emphasis
on CW and 20/17/15m both CW and SSB.
It will be the latest in a string of successful IOTA activations by the
group that includes (2002) VI3JPI Lady Julia Percy Island OC-251, (2003)
VI5WCP Waldegrave Island OC-261 and (2003) VI5BR Baudin Rocks OC-228.
