http://www.kermadec.de/
Eleven radio amateurs from Germany, one from Poland and one from Greece will activate Kermadec Island in the Pacific November 19 to December 5 using the call sign ZL8X. The team reports all is ready and some are enroute to New Zealand now. They have transported over 2.5 tons of equipment to New Zealand and the advance party has to organize this and take care of loading onboard the ship.
In the last weeks they decided to take some 6 meter equipment organized by the ZL hams. Activity will be on all bands 160 through 6 meters on CW, SSB and RTTY.
Operating frequencies: CW – 1826.5, 3522.5 +3, 7022.5 + 3, 10102 +3, 14022.5 +3, 18072.5 + 3, 21022.5 + 3, 24892.5 + 3, 28022.5 + 3 kHz; SSB: 1843.5, 3782.5, 7182.5 + 5, 14192.5 + 5 (+50 for US General), 18152.5 + 5, 21292.5 + 5, 24972.5 +5, 28492.5 + 5.
