I will be activating Gabo Island OC-196
on January 31 to February 1 2017.
The last organised IOTA DXpedition was
back in 2001. There were a couple of lighthouse weekend operations but their
focus was ILLW and not IOTA and hence QSOs were mainly with VK/ZL lighthouses
and a little bit of DX, as indicated by there only being 2.8% claimed by current
IOTA chasers in the last 8 years as per the 2016 IOTA Directory (page 118).
The activation of Gabo Island involves a
car drive of 1300 km (800 miles) from VK5 to VK3 and then I charter a private light
aircraft to and from the island. Any financial support would be really
appreciated. Thanks Craig VK5CE
