[Elecraft] A tremendous thanks to Elecraft

[Gregg Marco W6IZT]

On behalf of the entire HK0NA team I would like to take this opportunity to
thank Elecraft for being a primary sponsor for the HK0NA 2012 DXpedition.
Without their assistance an operation of the scale that we have planned
would not be possible. Our goals for this trip are aggressive. To reach
these goals we needed to set up two operating locations. OP A at the top of
one of the highest peaks on the island and OP B at the location of the
Military Facility. OP B is located about 300 ft ASL and OP A is almost 900
ft ASL. 

 

We plan to be on the air with 10 stations. These stations, at the two camps,
will be operating in close proximity. The K3 and KPA500 are the perfect
combination for DXpeditions. The light weight makes it possible to establish
a 4 station camp at OP A, and the combined receiver and transmitter
performance enables us to operate multiple stations in relatively close
proximity. 

 

The main team is meeting in Bogota this evening to begin the trip to
Malpelo. We plan to arrive at the island at dawn on January 21.

 

Please visit our website at hk0na.com for information, news and updates. 

 

Thanks again to Eric, Wayne and the entire Elecraft team for making this
endeavor possible.
