At this meeting, the main topic will be presentation of the official video of the VK0EK Heard Island DxPedition put together by Bob Allphin, K4UEE, Bob Schmieder KK6EK and hosted by Paul, ZS1S
The VKOEK team assemble on the bridge just prior to their departure from Cape Town |
Members will recall that the DxPedition assembled at Cape Town harbour before setting off on their epic adventure in March of 2016. Many of you met the Heard Island Group when they were here in Cape Town and this is the video of the entire trip.
It promises to be a good video and, who knows, some of our CTARC members may see themselves immortalised in deathless video! Certainly, the CTARC and a good number of local hams were there to assist, helping to establish Cape Town as a very useful staging post for future DxPeditions.
Do go along early to get your seat.
Don't forget the usual bring-'n-buy Swop Shop of amateur radio gear that takes place after the meeting.
