PETER I 2004 - The island of Peter I
(AN-004), discoverd in 1821 and named for Peter the Great of
Russia, has been activated on the amateur radio bands only twice:
in 1987 by 3Y1EE (LA1EE) and 3Y2GV (LA2GV), and again in 1994 by
the multi-national team of 3Y0PI. Bob Allphin, K4UEE and Ralph
Fedor, K0IR now announce they have organized another DXpedition
this isolated island, which is scheduled to occur during the
upcoming Austral summer 2004. A 15-person team is expected to
depart from Ushuaia, Argentina on 3 January and arrive at Peter I
on approximately 9 January. This will be a high power DXpedition
with an international group of experienced operators and multiple
stations on all HF bands covering SSB, CW, and RTTY modes. The
team hopes for a 3-week stay on the island. Further details will
be given in due course. Several operator positions are available.
Also, there are opportunities for ham or non-ham travelers to
visit Peter I, the Antarctic continent, and the South Shetland
Islands returning around 19 January to Ushuaia, Argentina.
