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
