First night on air is over. I managed to setup both antennas (HF and 6m) and make around 800 QSO. Propagation to west EU and NA wasn’t good however I experienced nice SSB pile up on 17m.
The place where we are staying is very comfortable - 2 bedrooms and large living room where I have arranged my shack. People here are very friendly. Our hosts make sure that we don't lack anything. We are supplied with delicious meals. I have a power generator working at night. They also brought a Starlink terminal for my disposal to give me a reliable internet connection. It looks like I found a remote paradise.
There is a sevusevu ceremony planned for today. So, I dressed in sulu and a local shirt to look at the part 😉.
This is SP5APW's expedition to Lakeba Island (OC-095). The callsign assigned to the expedition by TAF is 3D2JK.
Lakeba Island is the rarest IOTA reference in Fiji belonging to the top 10% of the world-wide most wanted references. The last activation of OC-095 was carried out over 20 years ago, in 2004 and currently this reference is in demand by 87% of the IOTA chasers.
