2011 International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend

HARAOA participated in the 2011 International Lighthouse Lightship Weekend using the club callsign of VK2CL at Montague Island (OC-223) Lighthouse NSW between 20-21 August 2011. A team of fifteen club members from The Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of Australia spent three nights on the island to celebrate International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend and made over 2,300 contacts using CW, SSB and digital modes.
“We didn't get much sleep, but had plenty of food and a great time,” president (VK2IR) Tommy Horozakis said.
Around 450 lighthouses around the world this weekend played host to similar radio groups as part of the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend.

HARAOA VK9HR Lord Howe Island July 2011 DXpedition

VK9 Hellenic Radio DX Team

A great effort by the VK9HR team allowing everyone to make contact on all bands and modes from Lord Howe Island OC-004. VK9HR set the standard for DXpeditions with logs being uploaded to the online website log and LoTW daily.

The focus on 160M was a huge success for VH9HR with the team working many EU, JA and NA on 160M greyline using a 160M Inverted L near the water and a directional beverage antenna system.

We are now working on producing a VK9HR eight (8) sided full colour QSL card with many photos and statistics.

Thank you to everyone, see you in the next one.
