News #1 (July 22, 2024)

Our team (T2C in 2023 and P29RO in 2022 and other activities in the years before COVID) has decided to announce its next DXpedition. We will return to the pacific and travel to Nauru (C2) in October 2024. We are planning to operate with 5 stations, 24/7 from 160 to 6 m in CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY.

Our group has extensive experience with travelling to pacific islands, but Nauru gave us some challenges. Getting all the necessary permissions and finding a usable location for the antennas is no easy task – especially for larger groups. We are grateful to Phill, C21TS, for his support on the island.

Flights, accommodation and a radio shack room are booked and confirmed. These are prerequisites for the necessary visa to enter Nauru. We also have acquired the necessary radio license. The call sign will be announced soon. Going to Nauru isn’t cheap. Each of our team members spent several thousand Euros.

Due the complicated logistics, we plan to arrive with two teams: 6 team members will arrive on October 11, 2024. They will bring 2 stations. This includes the LZ wire beam and the LBS-pentaplexer. This means that operation in the first days will only occur on the high bands. The rest of the team will arrive on October 14 for another 12 days.

More details including a website will be available soon.
