EUDXF supports the C21MM DXpedition
It is our pleasure to advise you that the EUDXF board has decided to support the October 2024 DXpedition to Nauru, C21MM.
After T2C in 2023 and P29RO in 2022 a German team will return to the Pacific and travel to Nauru (C21MM) in October 2024.
They are planning to operate with 5 stations, 24/7 from 160 to 6 m in CW, SSB, FT8 and RTTY.
The group has extensive experience with travelling to pacific islands, but Nauru gave them some challenges. Getting all the necessary permissions and finding a usable location for the antennas is no easy task – especially for larger groups. They 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.
Due to the complicated logistics, the plan is 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.
