Antarctic joins ANZAC 100 program
Date : 05 / 08 / 2015
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
The activation of VI 0 ANZAC on Casey Base in the Australian Antarctic
Territory is due to start operation,
as part of the Wireless Institute of Australia ANZAC 100 program.
Doug VK0DMV is working at Casey Station and has great pleasure in
activating the VI0ANZAC callsign.
His role keeps him extremely busy and can only operate when his duties allow.
This will mean that some published operation time may not occur due to
operational requirements and the weather conditions.
VI0ANZAC will use the commercial Qmac HF90 transceiver with an output
power of 50 watts into a dipole antenna.
Doug thanks both the WIA and the Australian Antarctic Division for this
opportunity in this the 100th Anniversary year of the Gallipoli
campaign in WWI. QSL in strictly eQSL.
Fred VK3DAC, the ANZAC 100 coordinator will be on air as a control station.
Potential operating dates are the 8th and 9th of August,
start time at 0000UTC which is 10am AEST, (8am at Casey Station)
and operate for 2 hours, and then stop.

0000 to 0200
0400 to 0600
0900 to 1100
