[SFDXA] Info on future ZL9 DXpeditions

[Jose_Carlos]

ZL9 has being that way for a long time, no permission to stay overnight. However back in 2012, one DX expedition supposed to be only during the day was not able to departure the island due bad weather, and as result, they managed to log several QSO’s on 160m next morning before Sunrise. That was a very good luck QSO on TB.

Probably no different than Spratlys, North Korea, and other places that are on the list but no permits allowed.

 Hi Fellow SFDXA,

Saw this article today, I wonder if are their plans to remove ZL9 from the DXCC listings now moving forward?....seems to me it should be removed as we will not be able to operate there anymore, along with the other islands under this Conservation Management rules.

Info on future ZL9 DXpeditions

Future DXpeditions to ZL9 will not be possible under (as of 2016) Conservation Management Strategy for NZ Sub Antarctic islands. We (ZL9HR) submitted a detailed application for a permit to conduct a DXpedition to ZL9 in Dec 2022 or 2023.
Even though a permit was issued in 2012 for ZL9HR – under the new NZ Sub-Antarctic Islands 2016 conservation management strategy, radio operations involving erection of structures (antennas) / staying on the island to operate – these activities are no longer permitted.
In summary only research activities and day trip tourist activities are permitted.
73, John VK3YP
