[Elecraft] Another K3 Antarctic excursion.

[James Beitchman]

You all know about the recent VP8 DXpedition using Elecraft equipment.  Here
is another - not quite so elaborate and daring. From February 16 to March 7
C6AMD/MM will operate from the MV National Geographic Orion in Antarctic
Seas (CQ Zone 13), and under the call sign VP8DPC while moored in the
territorial waters of South Georgia Island (February 26 to March 1) and
while moored/docked in the territorial waters of The Falkland Islands (March
4 - 5). As these are not land-base operations, there is no DXCC credit. The
rig is an Elecraft K3 and 53 foot long wire with a 9:1 unun. Operation will
be CW and SSB on all HF bands, propagation willing. Hope to work many
Elecrafters. See QRZ.com.
