I’ve arrived in Gove (Nhulunbuy) in East Arnhem Land
which is the town that I depart to take the boat to Bremer Island. Before I was
an amateur radio operator I worked in Gove for a few years so I’m familiar with
this crazy remote part of Australia. This certainly helped in the preparations
for this trip as I knew what services were and weren’t here. All of my
equipment including the 10m Spiderbeam aluminium mast, linear amplifier and 12m
fibreglass Spiderbeam pole (for the 12m vertical dipole) that I sent last month
has arrived. The Icom IC706MKIIG, 2 power supplies, computer and headphones
were taken as carry on baggage. The checked in baggage included the Spiderbeam
tribander.
So I’m ready to depart the island tomorrow morning.
Hope to work you on the air for a new IOTA. If you have any questions I’ll be
checking my emails at vk8pdx@yahoo.com.au
until around 2200 UTC Tuesday (7:30am Wednesday local time).
Goodluck Jimmy
ReplyDeleteHave been listening out on 14260 here in Holland. Great location and having been to Gove with you I know the climate. I hope you took enough Red Bull and No Does just like our past Dx trips together
