[ADXA] Travel plans

[Rick Harris]

NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Well, I hope to be on the road again next week. Hopefully, this trip will go
much better than the last one as it is quite extensive and expensive!
I hope to be on the air from four countries. The first two I will have my
IC-706 and some wires. The last two I hope to be able to operate from
the qth's of some hams I know. I will ship my radio stuff back after the
first two stops so I don't have to drag the stuff around for 6 weeks.

First stop: Cook Is. ZK1. Callsign (purchased upon arrival) will 
probably be ZK1AIP as visitors get a callsign with three letters. Dates: 
23 Sept to 1 Oct.

Second stop: Fiji. 3D2. Have spent over $100 on fax, phone calls, and bank
wire to get a $8 license. Nothing so far on call. Dates: 3-10 October.

Third stop: New Zealand. Callsign ZL/AI5P. Dates: 10-30 October.

Fourth stop: Australia. Have to get VK callsign upon arrival (Not VK/AI5P).
                    Dates: 30 Oct - 21 Nov.

Will drive from El Dorado to Albuquerque next week and fly from there.
Anyone who hears me please spot me. Will probably concentrate on 
40/30/20/17/15
if condx and antennas allow.

The ADXA members contest for contacts will incorporate all 4 stops, not 
each stop.
1 point per mode per band.

Pray for safe travels and decent condx!
73, Rick
