community, the antennas will be left on the island. Two 2 KW
generators and 1000 litres of gasoline are planned for maximum
reliability of power supply. The prospects of a serious 6 metre
operation depend on the feasibility of taking an amplifier and
beam antenna to Pitcairn as well as demand for such an operation.

islands may be considered if there is enough interest from the
IOTA community. Donations are welcome to cover the high costs of
