> I could attend the Cleveland Indian's game that afternoon. The surprising
> thing was that it got by the Chief Proof-reader (Linda, my wife and
> teacher). Well, I can't blame her. She was editing the bulletin during

> to travel to Lady Julia Percy Island (VK3-Victoria State West
> Group), a wildlife refuge off the coast of Victoria in
Southern
> Australia to undertake some scientific studies between
September
> 27-30th. He has invited a small group of amateurs, including
> Tom/VK3ZZ and Peter/VK3QI, along to help with his scientific
> work and to activate the island. This island is part of a
> previously un-activated IOTA group. It will be a rare
activation

> the harsh environment, which includes encircling 30-40m high
> cliffs and thousands of seals and seabirds! The operation will
> be CW/SSB on most HF bands on the usual IOTA frequencies. It
> is intended that two stations will be operational 18 hours a
> day with a special callsign to be announced upon their
arrival.

> conditions which can make access to the island by boat very
> difficult. Please remember that the scientific work is the
> number one priority with the ham radio operation being
> secondary. QSL direct only to QSL Manager VK3KXG via address
> on QRZ.com (Paul Stampton, 69-71 Brown Street, Leongatha,

> The best times are 1930-2130z and later between 0630-0830z. QSL direct
> to VK4AAR with SAE plus reply postage. Alan states, "The Australian postal
> rates are being misunderstood by many amateurs in other countries. Please

> postage nicely." VK4AAR's address is: Alan Roocroft, PO Box 421,
> Gatton 4343, Australia.
>
> VK9, NORFOLK ISLAND. Jim Smith, VK9NS, and his wife Kristy, VK9NL, are
