P2 - A few days ago Bernhard, DL2GAC/P29VMS had announced through Jim
Smith, VK9NS he would be active from the Tauu (aka Mortlock) Islands
(OC-???) starting around 13 February. There should have been a
change in the boat's schedule, as on 11 February Bernhard was in
Rabaul (New Britain, OC-008) after operating from OC-256, OC-257 and
OC-231 (a total of around 2200 QSOs). His plans were to travel by
plane on the 13th and reach the town of Wewak (OC-034). He will then
go and operate for 3-5 days from one of the nearby islands, like
Kairiru or Muschu, that count for the Papua New Guinea's Coastal
Islands North group (OC-???). Around 20-25 February he will go back
to the Solomon Islands (H4). Bernhard reminds island chasers that,
since he operates with a 70AH car battery recharged by solar panel,
he is "not fond at all of multiple QSO attempts". QSL via DL2GAC.
