YJ0ADX - Vanuatu DXpedition - Feb 24

DJ7EO, DL3DXX, DL5LYM, DL9NDS were the participants of the YJØADX DXpedition to Vanuatu. We left Germany on Feb 22, 2006 and arrived in Port Vila on Feb 24. Our location was the Worawia Holiday Haven in Port Vila. We QRT'ed on March 11 and travelled back on March 12, 2006.

Our equipment consisted of two complete stations, a Titanex V80E lowband vertical, a Spiderbeam, a Butternut HF9, a K9AY loop plus further antennas.

We have set our emphasis on the low bands 160m , 80m and 40m - mainly CW - plus RTTY, WARC and some SSB.

We have an Online Log Search on the Diary Page as well as a Notebook and a Pictures Page.
