VK0H, HEARD ISLAND. Dated May 15th: "After 5 months of planning, Cordell
Expeditions is pleased to announce a DXpedition to Heard Island, Territory
of Australia, in early 2014.We have assembled a core team, arranged for
the vessel, and are awaiting the landing permit and radio callsign. Initial
team members, collaborating organizations, and other resources will be
announced in the near future. The expedition will be multi-disciplinary,
with three major activities: Communications, Environmental Science, and
Documentation. We will be active on all bands and all modes, implement a
variety of innovative real-time communications technologies, and field a
variety of scientific projects that are designed to observe and document
some of the unique resources on this extraordinary island. We will use
the latest version of DXA (www.cordell.org/DXA) for real-time online
presentation of log data, images, and video from Heard Island.
This project follows the very successful expedition to Heard Island
carried out by this group in 1997. Details of that operation can be
seen at <www.cordell.org/HI>. The website for the 2014 DXpedition is
<www.cordell.org/HD>.
We invite your participation in this project, as a potential team
member, supporter, or eventually as a callsign in our radio log! If you
have a particular interest in Heard Island or may be interested in
joining the expedition, we invite you to contact us.
For information, please contact the Expedition Leader, Dr. Robert
Schmieder at <schmie...@cordell.org>."
NOTE FROM EDITOR: Here at the Dayton HamVention, I learned that a second
group is also planning an operation to Heard Island. Hopefully, more
details will be forthcoming.....
