A team of five Australian radio amateurs will activate Norfolk Island from May 20 (1000 UTC) until May 31 (0100 UTC) to coincide with the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) 2016 Annual General Meeting and Conference (AGM), also being held on Norfolk Island. According to the team’s Facebook page, everything is packed — approximately 100 kg of gear and baggage — and they will fly out of Sydney to Norfolk Island on the morning of May 20.

According to ClubLog’s DXCC Most Wanted List, Norfolk Island is number 95. The VK9NT crew plans to operate on 160 through 10 meters on SSB, CW, and RTTY.

Activity on RTTY at VK9NT will confined to just a couple of bands to maximize all-time new ones (ATNOs).
