Tokelau Islands DXpedition 2026
(OC-048)

In January, 2026 we announced that members of the Perseverance DX Group (PDXG) and the Western Washington DX Club (WWDXC) intended to activate Tokelau ZK3. Planning for this project continues.
On April 3, 2026 we had a meeting in Auckland, New Zealand with our Tokelauan sponsor, additional project details were discussed. We will be on the atoll the last 2 weeks of November, 2026. The exact dates will be announced after the Tokelau Transport Office finalizes their November boat schedule.
The operating location has been selected, and living accommodations for the team were discussed. Also discussed were the details of a humanitarian project we’re planning for the local school.
There are formal governmental meetings planned for November. We elected to be there after these meetings conclude. The meetings are part of an ongoing recognition of 100 Years of the Tokelau / New Zealand relationship.
Team members will be in Northern California in May to conduct an equipment inventory and assess our requirements. We will return to California in July for equipment consolidation, testing and packaging. Subsequently, we will relocate our equipment storage to a location in Deming, New Mexico.
While the team is funding this project without a major fundraising campaign, we appreciate donations to offset the equipment shipping expenses and the humanitarian project.
Additional details will be announced as they develop.
